This morning, Jerry Stiller was the mystery guest on 94.5 out of Winston-Salem North Carolina. He talked about his son, Ben, and his first few days on the job of Seinfeld. He said that the producers wanted him to be quiet and for Estelle Harris to be the loud one. But when he read the lines, they didn't sound very funny, so he started yelling them, and the audience seemed to like that a little bit more. and Jason Alexander is the one who suggested to Jerry Stiller that he start slapping him on the head...("right on that bald spot")
