And he says Seinfeld had nothing to do with his success. Yeah, sure. I'm looking forward to the Letterman appearance. If there's anyone who would refuse to follow the Nazi's "Do not mention Seinfeld" rule, it's Dave.
This could be worth watching! (May 12) You know that Letterman's the one who tipped the Seinfeld writers to Yeganeh, right? (Or is this old news?)
