Jerry Seinfeld had some fun with WFAN host Chris McMonigle and producer Paul Rosenberg on Tuesday night. The legendary comedian was apparently listening to the sports talk radio network when Rosenberg took a jab at his sitcom, “Seinfeld,” after McMonigle referenced the Season 8 episode “The Chicken Roaster” during a conversation about the NBA’s colorful courts during the Emirates Cup. “One of the few good Seinfeld episodes,” Rosenberg quipped.
Not long after, Seinfeld himself was on the show, going back and forth with the duo. “It doesn’t bother me, I’m OK with it,” Seinfeld said when reminded by McMonigle about Rosenberg’s thoughts about his show. “One out of two is fine.
” That’s when Seinfeld steered the conversation back to sports. “Look, we made 180 Seinfeld episodes. So, we made three good ones.
We’re like the Giants. We’re 3-177.” McMonigle then brought up Seinfeld’s beloved Mets, whom he took a moment to gush about.
“You could make a pretty good argument that this season was the most magical Mets season, not counting the two World Series wins,” Seinfeld said. “It was a chemistry and it was an energy and it was an emotional thing of guys that weren’t supposed to be that good. “I don’t know what can beat that.
Does winning with Juan Soto and Shohei Ohtani, would that be as fun as this? As an adult to be jumping up and down and screaming, what makes you jump up and down and scream as an adult? Nothing.” But Seinfeld couldn’t hang up before taking a jab at the Yankees. He asked McMonigle, a Yankees fan, about his favorite team’s disastrous fifth inning during Game 5 of the World Series.
“But tell me about the pain of the fifth inning,” Seinfeld asked McMonigle. “Tell me about that. I wanna know, what did that feel like as a fan?” “Do I have to go over that with Jerry Seinfeld right now?” McMonigle replied “Yeah, I wanna hear your pain,” Seinfeld said.
“A day hasn’t gone by yet where I haven’t thought about it for a little bit,” McMonigle would say before Seinfeld danced on the Yankees’ grave. “It makes me feel so good to hear that,” he said. “Your pain is my pleasure.
