Howard Stern has this trait where he likes to explain to the guest how something happened, will get a number of things wrong, and then is corrected by the guest. Overall, he's a good interviewer, but I can't that he tries to drive the conversation instead of giving his guest some room to actually answer.

I think it was the final show of Season Two where Jerry and Elaine had gotten back together. That's the "this, that, and the other" episode. Larry and Jerry thought the show would be canceled. The network had always wanted Elaine and Jerry back together, so that was the finale...so they thought at the time.
Great artists know when to leave the stage. Charles Aznavour said that you have the stage and let the public wanting for more. Seinfeld also had this great sense of timing.
The thing I love about Jerry more than anything is he doesn't lie and doesn't try to dress up the past, he tells the truth as best he knows it no matter what angle the other person is putting on it
Jerry is just smart and he honors the CRAFT OF COMEDY WHICH I LOVE...
The point at which it’s too much cake…Perfect analogy!
Truly, the sitcom was a Masterpiece.
Awesome interview..love JS..GOD BLESS
I really respect that he followed "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Carol Burnett Show" and went out on top. I think that the best way to make magic last is to not try and string it along when you've done everything you can.

"If the people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....
