In this extended conversation with "Sunday Morning" correspondent Mo Rocca, comedian Jerry Seinfeld goes deep when talking about the precision of his approach to comedy, and how he made a fondly-remembered part of his youth - the breakfast staple Pop-Tarts - the subject of his directorial debut, the Netflix comedy "Unfrosted."

Seinfeld is a comedy master. The way that he is handling the interviewer is absolutely hilarious.

@jeffainsley6000 Ай бұрын

Part of the irony of Unfrosted has to be the media tour that Jerry Seinfeld is on, where the interviewers try to ask him serious questions about his childhood relationship to Pop Tarts.

"I didn't have a salad until I was 40." So true! My mother's idea of a good meal was cut-up chicken pieces boiled to death in hot salty water, soggy canned green beans, jarred sweetened applesauce and a glass of whole milk. I didn't have fresh vegetables or fruit until I was out on my own. It was years later I realized my family was too poor to afford fresh produce and my mother hated cooking!

@Accountdeactivated_1986 Ай бұрын

And yet the meal you described is still healthier and better for you than most people get today. The food wasn’t made with high fructose corn syrup and chemicals, and most people weren’t morbidly obese.

@kph2858 23 күн бұрын

So true . In the other hand , it was a way of eating . Our “ salad “ was iceberg lettuce with blue cheese dressing on it , and that was only on a night at some supper club where they had beer cheese soup with popcorn in it . I😊 was little but I remember.

Looking back on his TV Show, Pop-Tarts were all over the place. On his kitchen counter and in his cupboards. He also would pull them out of a bag, like he had just gone grocery shopping, and then proceeded to stick them up on his shelf. The one time that he sticks a box in the cupboard above his microwave, then he turns around, has an epiphany, and then spins around, opens the cupboard, grabs the box and proclaims to the camera, "I can't believe I got the low fat!!" 😂😂

I feel like a lot of y'all complaining don't realize that this is an EXTENDED interview. Interviews that air on TV are like 5 minutes and heavily edited to be tight and concise. This is like the full convo, so there's gonna be gaps and missteps. Calm down and stop being so critical. I'd love to see you speak with another human being PERFECTLY for over a half-hour.

@BluesImprov Ай бұрын

Sir, it all comes down to relating to your guest. . .This guy doesn't. . .But, he obviously thinks projecting his somewhat "prissy" attitude makes him interesting in some way. He's kind of annoying, and that's why many people are critical of his "style." And it's NOT about being "PERFECT", it's about being more "real" and not trying to project an attitude that ends up interfering with the flow of the conversation. And you're wrong about TV. I spent 35 years directing "live" TV newscasts and interviews. It's not about being "perfect", it's about getting out of the way and enjoying the flow of an interview that your guest reveals to you. You just pick up on where your guest wants to go and help them get there. Because THEY are the show. . .NOT YOU!!! The best interviewers understand this.

Pop-Tart fun facts. 1. Science to create a fruit filling that didn't need refrigeration (or canning) was stolen from General Foods, Gaines Dog Food Burgers. 2. The POST product, "Country Squares" entered the market 7 months prior to Pop-Tarts but failed because of the stigma associated with the word "square" in the 60's. 3. The guy at Kelloggs who oversaw the Pop-Tart product had the surname POST. His kids ate the very first Pop-Tarts and demanded them when they woke-up every morning, thus the decision to market them as a breakfast food. 4. All Pop-Tart ad photos showed the product broken diagonally in order to make it appear to have more filling than pastry. All tests on versions with more filling resulted in Pop-Tarts exploding in the toaster.
