LOS ANGELES, May 5: In a moment that delighted audiences, comedian Jerry Seinfeld made an unexpected appearance on Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update segment. Colin Jost, one of the show’s hosts, introduced Seinfeld with a playful jab, describing him as “a man who did too much press.”
Seinfeld, known for his iconic sitcom “Seinfeld,” has been on a promotional tour for his latest project, the Netflix movie “Unfrosted,” which he directed and stars in.
Arriving at the Update desk, Seinfeld humorously feigned confusion, jokingly asking if he was on a podcast. Jost playfully reminded him of his recent appearances, including one on The Rich Eisen Show, prompting Seinfeld to quip, “I like Rich Eisen, I find him accessible.”
When asked about excessive press, Seinfeld shared insights, remarking, “That’s the thing. You don’t know until someone who cares about you shows you a video package and you see yourself with these people with these names… Hoda, Maraca, Chanel, Vlad…”
Seinfeld, with his signature wit, extended words of encouragement to fellow actor Ryan Gosling, humorously reflecting on his own press experiences. “If you are struggling with press, you’re not alone,” he said, addressing Gosling. “When I started doing press for Unfrosted, I was like you—funny, good-looking. Now, look at me.”
The lighthearted segment took a comedic turn when Seinfeld received an unexpected call from the Spanish-language network Univision, adding to the hilarity of the moment.
As the segment concluded, Seinfeld cheekily reminded viewers of his upcoming appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, indicating that his press tour was far from over.
Seinfeld’s spontaneous cameo brought laughter and entertainment to SNL’s Weekend Update, showcasing his timeless humor and comedic charm.
