It was back in 1989 when the world was introduced to the character of Jerry Seinfeld and several others when the iconic series Seinfeld premiered. Being a sitcom, the series was hailed as a comedic masterpiece with Seinfeld and Larry David working as writers and actors in the show.
Well, every beginning has an end, and thus, it wasn’t long before the finale episode of Seinfeld aired in 1998. The finale, however, was not considered funny at all and was negatively received by critics and audience alike but Larry David recently revealed that he simply… doesn’t care!
Jerry Seinfeld Felt That He Shouldn’t Have Done Seinfeld‘s Finale!
Larry David is no doubt, one of the funniest people ever. Working alongside Jerry Seinfeld, the two wrote and acted in the iconic 1989 sitcom until its end in 1998. Working alongside each other for almost 10 years, the duo had quite a bond between them, that was until the final episode of Seinfeld.
David planned to bring every star and guest star that had ever portrayed a role in Seinfeld in the finale of the show. After the finale aired in 1998, critics and fans alike were disappointed with the end result since it was more of a philosophical goodbye rather than a comedic ending. Several critics hailed this as one of the worst finales ever of any show and in general, people were disappointed.
Co-creator and main lead of the show, Jerry Seinfeld, even revealed in his conversation with fans (via Today) that he regretted the finale and he shouldn’t have done it at all!
“I sometimes think we really shouldn’t have even done it. There was a lot of pressure on us at that time to do one big last show, but big is always bad in comedy.”
And although this might be true for comedy shows, his co-star and co-writer Larry David feels quite the opposite. Infamously known for never regretting the series finale of Seinfeld, here’s what Larry David had to say when a fan questioned him about the 1998 finale!
