Jerry was on the premiere episode of the new talk show, "Politically Incorrect" on the Comedy Channel. He appeared with Ed Rollins (the unfunny political strategist for Ross Perot and George Bush '88), Robin Quivers (unfunny sidekick of Howard Stern), and some other bozo loser whose name I can't even remember.

Jerry was definitely the CLASS of this show! At one point, the discussion group was examining focus groups (and their validity or bogusness) and Jerry tried to relate an experience that he had with focus groups when the Seinfeld Chronicles was in development. He was saying that the focus groups hated the show, but it ended up beign one of the best shows on TV. Then the idiot host interrupted him saying something like, "You just had to get that plug in there, didn't you," and Jerry came back with "I can hardly call being on this show a plug."

Excellent. Get 'im Jerry! All in all, the show has potential. It's a bunch of celebrities sitting around talking about issues (not show-biz). I'm sure in the future they will get into more current events and stuff. But this premiere show was kind of lame, and it would have been a total disaster with out Jerry.

Larry Miller. Feeling a bit judgemental today, are we?

Personnaly, I think Larry Miller is one of the funniest guys around. I saw his HBO special and I was hysterical the entire time. I do agree that Jerry was the "class" of the show, but I think that's only because he has the most experience with the TV machine and his insights into focus groups, etc. are based on the most experience. Larry was out of his element. Most of his humor is of the surreal/absurd/observational variety.

Everyone else on the show could have left and I wouldn't have knowe the diff.
