Any man that calls Anthony Cumia a ''Back alley Tunisian knife fighter'' is a fucking comedy genius.

I imagine Jerry walking out of the theater, turning to Colin and saying that was brutal!

Colin Quinn is so good he doesn't even realize it. True Genius.

Colin has so many original thoughts, he can barely finish a sentence.

Colin opened up for a friend a few years back at the Bell House in Brooklyn. Tore the place down. Belly laughs. He is a hugely underrated talent.

Colin Quinn is such a huge talent, far beyond his exposure and recognition. I've enjoyed him for decades, its too bad he doesn't get more respect.

I thought I was there for a laugh but in the end my eyes teared up a little bit to see two respectful top of the line NYC comedians appreciating each other publicly. Most respect gents.

I can't believe at 5:35 when Jerry said if people paid to see this show they'd be in trouble. I am in heaven just listening to him talk about anything besides that meditation stuff.

interviewer has a great hysteric laugh that nearly takes over sometimes.. it leads the crowd on too.. but comedians will never turn a hysteric laugh down from anyone.. i think they appreciate this guy because you can see he genuinely finds them so funny..

The interviewer was clearly a fan and just a bit nervous. Laughs were real though. And so was his interest.

I wish Patrice was here to see this. Good interview.

Have we seen Charlie's father on It's Always Sunny, yet? Colin would be perfect for the part.

Love when Colin Quinn makes those faces!

Such a massive display of GENIUS

David's laugh is awesome

Colin just having a conversation is hysterically funny...extremely underrated and should have been that third chair on the Stern show. I love his tiny hands

I like this young guy's genuine interviewing style. Unpolished is much better than the pretty air-heads we have to put up with on networks. But I hope he pays attention to comments about his sycophantic laughter. That really is challenging to listen to for an hour.

Best joke on stage is the presenter who is transitioning . Thanks for making me laugh. So funny. The classic transition beard and the child in an adults suit look 😂😂😂

David Itzkoff is like that cool buddy you had in 7th grade study hall who was insanely smart and giggled at just about everything you said.

I was waiting for Colin to call the interviewer "Bush League".

4:42 Every comedian's dream is to just riff. The beauty of writing.

Two New York comedy legends

I didn't know Jerry Seinfeld directed Colin's off broadway show! They are having a special together,but it's great with each of their own style

This is the best that this publication has for a interviewer.

This interviewer looks like he'd be extremely scared of a lawn mower.

North of Ireland 💚... thanks Colin.

Two great comedians--showing their brains at work!

Intern David made something out of himself after all

You really can hear here how Patrice would be honored to find out that Colin wrote the forward for his Mr. P album. Brilliant comedian.

I like the interviewer...he's got a great laugh.

Nice to see all the o&a fans here in the comments. Colin, Patrice, Vos, Bobby and Jimmy were the best things about it

Quinn is such a good comedian.

This is a fun interview, entertaining and educational. I thought Dave Itzkoff did a nice job.

58:21 totally agree with Jerry's answer... probably the best advice I've ever heard.

The interviewer reminds me of Louie's agent on his show. The one who's clearly a teenager 😆

Colin Quinn s show Red State Blue State was so funny! But to this day I watch Seinfeld reruns! It's a classic....A show about nothing lmao..Larry David did some great writing!

Joking about people's financial hardships is always a win. Can I rent that joke from you?

Fabulous peak at the backstage of geniality. Thank you for this wonderful video.

Oh literal Dave Itzkoff

Great interview

55:40 nice mouthful of ice for the upcoming question, Col

The pooper scooper law in New York City was the best law ever

boy, the interviewer needs an Oscar for best performance.

He doesn't get the old NY,lmao...This show is probably hysterical! Johnny Carson was a great interviewer because he was funny,a comedian also and very witty and just laughed in his interviewers...One of a kind

"It's Gold Jerry "

Had to order coloring book... Two comedic Genius...in different categories

What exit? 🤣🤣❤️

It's clear that Dave Itzkoff is a capable, intelligent person, who seems like he has a genuine interest in comedy. I do not buy his laugh is real for 1 second. I'm not saying his laugh is completely fake 100% of the time. Much of the time it seems like a real laugh, that evolves into a rehearsed laugh. Other times, the laugh is completely fake. He's young enough where he could stop, go through the awkward period where he reveals, by beginning to laugh naturally, that he was fake or over laughing, and set himself free from the burden of the exaggerated laughter. David, if you happen to read this, the embarrassment of transitioning into a real laugh will last for only a few months. Marrying yourself to this over the top, forced laugh your doing right now is the equivalent of building a prison for yourself that prevents you from every really knowing anybody, because who could get close to a guy with a laugh like that? This fake laugh is standing between you and real love. Change it, and you could be a guy people genuinely like. When you're gone, people will really miss you. Keep it, and nobody trusts you ever. I realize this comment may seem overly dramatic & a little crazy, especially because we do not know one another. But what I am telling you is true, and I feel strongly enough about it, I took the time to write this. You only live once, don't spend your one life as a fake laugher.

I can totally see why people get annoyed with the host/interviewer but I think with 2 powerhouse comics/actors you did a good job staying on task and not getting lost in a single bit. With two of funniest comedians it'd be very easy to throw script and talk Seinfeld for an hour or the have Colin hit every character in his new show. I give the goober some props bc his laughs were more genuine then credit for but I couldn't invite him Sunday brunch or anything lol

I grew up in NYC and many of my thoughts are expressed here. I love 38:59-39:06 re: Disneyfication/soulcrushing v. knifepoint/bloodletting. Everyone loves the NYC that was there when they were young...a humbling realization after you've lived through it's very tough times.

Loved long story short

Only Colin would sit there and crunch on ice...

This kid is my new hero! First of all, he lands a head reporter gig for his grammar school paper. And if that weren't enough, he scores an interview with Colin Quinn AND Jerry Seinfeld! He did mention he was married...But I won't hold that against him. He's still young and will probably figure out that it's a trap. Good luck kid! ps. If I mean WHEN he writes his memoirs, may I be so bold as to suggest for the title 'Story at Eleven...Years Old'

Powerful bluesy instrumentation on that one. I believe Amanda Shires writes all her own songs. For a lighter song of hers try "Pale Fire", it has great lyrical imagery

The guy who is moderating is spot on.Great Job!!!!

Colin is great at deadpan delivery

I wonder how honest Seinfeld was being when he said appearing like you're making a point is a comedic slight of hand. How much of what Quinn says is authentic and how much is a gimmick.

A good interviewer minimizes how much they talk and is there to prompt good responses and stories from the interviewees.... This interviewer is enthusiastic and genuine and he has put a lot of thought to ask poignant questions....but that's part of the problem. The major problem is in his too-long question 'set-up' -where he's answering 2/3 of the question himself instead teeing up the question and letting his guests respond with the depth and details. That leaves very little for Colin and Jerry to respond to and elaborate for themselves, other than to acknowledge and say "yeah, that's right...." --Also, some of the questions are not good... I agree with @BravoB's comment... afterwards, Jerry probably did say to Colin "that was brutal!"

artisanal cookie and a PBR! lol

I wonder if Jerry knows that Colin is funnier than him?

They should've had a packet of ketchup interview them.

Great interviewer

I wonder what would be their take on Eddie Izzard shows:)

Guys, check out Colin Quinn's "Long Story Short" if you haven't already. Directed by Jerry Seinfeld, it's awesome.

Seinfeld is the Pete Townsend of comedy.

Brownsville represent 💪🏼

Any videos like this with Colin and Robert DeNiro?

omg his laugh was way too much

I love Jerry and Colin, but between Colin and the interviewer not being able to speak in complete sentences is killing me

Nice left channel audio in headphones. The friggin New York Times couldn't fix this?

Jerry has one of the most impressive I don't give a shit attitudes I've ever seen.

Jerry Seinfeld is a genius! Comes to NBC, gets the Seinfeld series going as a creator, producer, writer and actor, has it going for 9 seasons, goes out on top at number 1, sells the syndication rights to Seinfeld the gets him $100 Million!!

cicgc with norm confirmed. winky smiley face.

The audio level is too low.

Crazy to think Seinfeld is 5 years older than Quinn, lol.

*Funny guy* !!

Why is the sound so muffled? Really difficult to understand sometimes.

Colin is 60 and Jerry is 65.

at 28 minutes in -- the guy from the NYT got what Rob Becker knew all those years ago with "Defending the Caveman" -- the theater is not any one genre's domain. Which is what so much of the NYT's anger was with his show.

28:36 - 30:14 Me every night 8:30 sharp at t/ Club Tarjay on 181st or anytime i go to t/ dentist 😆😎

This was fun. Except for the fake nervous laughter. Hope this host reeled it in or took some pointers from Jerry with his silent fake laugh. Love Colin Quinn big time.

Wow, that Colin guy sounds just like Jay Mohr!

The only good thing about Jerry Seinfeld is that he promotes Colin Quinn.

Here from Rogan #1541, 2020.

Interviewer does not go with the flow of conversation with two of greatest conversationalist in our culture. The interviewer keeps trying to direct the flow instead of surrendering and going with the authenticity. No point to prove but just enjoy the company of words flow

19:02 Jerry, The analogy i placed on your friendship was comparible to the pretty girl with the over wieght friend.

That interviewer looks like he dressed up like his daddy because it's bring you kid to work day and things got wacky.

18:15 can’t take it anymore

OK...... I'll say it. I thought the interviewer was pretty good.

The interviewer has the exact same voice as intern Dave

That 2nd button is a little high.

Is this MY DAVID!?!?

Actually Colin and Jerry could have done this show without the interviewer by just talking to each other

I’m going back to Brooklyn. I don’t think so! Funny videos people. You tube it’s hilarious

My two cent’s worth: Only comedians should be allowed to interview other comedians; but they didn’t know that back then, apparently.

today, i don't think we would see this interview with a moderator. after years of listening to podcasts where comedians are talking to each other, we realize the moderator is kind of redundant

The interviewer is Josh Goodnaturedly

Colin is So much funnier that Seinfeld

Bad Audio.....
