Larry David: These Facts Are Pretty, Pretty Good

Seinfeld’s Premise

Now, everyone famously calls Seinfeld ‘the show about nothing.’ Jerry Seinfeld spoke about the real pitch. Seinfeld said, “The real pitch, when Larry and I went to NBC in 1988, was we want to show how a comedian gets his material. The show about nothing was just a joke in an episode many years later, and Larry and I to this day are surprised that it caught on as a way that people describe the show, because to us it’s the opposite of that.”
