Jerry Seinfeld Not Interested in SEINFELD Reunion

Don't expect the SEINFELD crew to reunite any time soon.

Jerry Seinfeld took part in a Reddit AMA earlier this afternoon, and put to rest the long-rumored SEINFELD reunion, calling it "lame."

"Do you ever think of doing more with Seinfeld?" a user asked the comedian. "I love the show and think a reunion episode or a sequel somehow would be amazing."

"I think you're wrong," Seinfeld replied (per Mediate). "I think it would be lame, and I think it would be an embarrassment to the nice place that the show occupies. I'm absolutely happy keeping it the way it is. You can't keep asking for more of certain things, you know? one of the keys to life is having a sense of proportion, knowing how long to sit at a restaurant after you've eaten, or how long you should go on vacation - if you go to Hawaii for a month on vacation, I guarantee you that by the end you'll hate it. So it's the same with a TV show, you want to do a certain amount of it, so that when people look back on it and they love it. I could have easily done the show for one or two or three more years, but it would have changed the way people look back at it. I think I made the right decision. Because people like the show now even more than they did in the 1990s, because it didn't get worn out."

Seinfeld directed and produced Colin Quinn's one-man show LONG STORY SHORT on Broadway in 2010 and starred in Jerry Seinfeld: LIVE ON BROADWAY in 1998.

The comedian recently created the web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, as well as the TV series The Marriage Ref. He is best known for starring in the cult TV show Seinfeld and has also appeared in Curb Your Enthusiasm and more.
