Fans discuss why the real soup stand owner seemed easier to understand on Seinfeld than on David Letterman, with one theory attributing it to the actor's accent versus scripting differences.

I sw him on David Letterman showing how he makes soup. They showed the episode he wasa in and it looked like one of the funniest episodes this season (hope they rerun it soon so I can see it). He seemed like a nice guy though. But why was he so easy to understand on Seinfeld but almost impossible to understand on Dave?
