Remeber when David Letterman, in a search for Paul, ran on to the Seinfeld set during one of his specials? George and Jerry were talking about a hot dog being considered a sandwich. I was really expecting the bit to be much more entertaining. With the talents of Letterman, Alexander and Seinfeld in the same room, I was hoping for at least a chuckle. Was anyone else kinda let down in that molment in time?
Seinfeld, Alexander and Letterman
Fans discuss disappointment with a David Letterman cameo on the show, debating whether it was edited and discussing unclear dialogue about "Larry."

I'm not sure, but it looked to me like Letterman was "dubbed" in. Somehow, the quality of the picture seemed to make the scene appear as if Kramer of Elaine was erased out of it and replaced by Dave. Any thoughts?
I'm not sure if it's edited or not, but did anyone notice at the end that Jerry says as Paul & Dave are leaving... "Bye Larry." Who is Larry? Was that a mistake on his part or just a joke that I didn't get?

Maybe they meant Larry David, co-creator of the show and model for George. Maybe they were pretending not to know David Letterman. I think it wasn't edited, or at least not all edited, because at the end, they said, "What's the opposite of 'must-see TV'?"

The reason that scene sucked is because Letterman was in it. He is so incredibly old, stale, and tired... and it really showed at that moment.
