Season 10 is the best season of this show because it gave me loads of empathy for these guests. If you want your public to love you again, just face up against Seinfeld, and we'll dump on him instead.
Alec Baldwin: Jerry gets a little homophobic while they are gabbing which Alec senses, and so he plays with it by going into his gayest character from the theatre, and it's one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen. If you have any horrible feelings for Alec, they will all be wiped away, and you will fall in love with him all over again for how carefully he sways his friend away from saying jerky things. If only Alec had an Alec for his Alec!
Ellen Degeneres: Watch how hard Jerry fumbles his interview with Ellen by talking about his penis, and watch how well Ellen deals with that. You know she's had a lifetime of clowns and their penises, and she's very graceful here, although you can see that steeliness in her eyes from her years in the industry. It's very sad because she wants people to see her as kind, and we know what happened. So, this one had me feeling for Ellen...a lot.
Dave Chappelle: Another sad clown who gets into his feelings of being a fraud, which happy-go-lucky Jerry and his bazillion toy cars can't relate to. A very interesting conversation with the most important working comedian of our time.
Jerry Lewis: This was a painfully bad interview. Jerry Lewis is at the end of his life and petrified of death, and that was all we really got out of this, other than Seinfeld looking like a fanboy.
Jerry Seinfeld is a great host because he's completely carefree, he's given up on solving any problems in the universe, and when you weigh his smile against the angst of most of his guests, it's a truly captivating show.

Too much forced banter and humor. Seinfeld has become too smug and self centered. He doesn't listen to his guests anymore and talks over them, forces routines that aren't working... I actually felt sorry for chappelle sitting through that stupid rectum routine.
it's only when the guest takes the show out of seinfeld's hands that the show flows. Baldwin was the only great episode.
It's just not as easy and natural as it was in the beginning. seinfeld needs to back off and let it evolve naturally.

nice interview. not considering jerry seinfed answers, which are, mostly, material. and I mean it in a sense not true at all. everything he did, do and will do, its about himself, the only gigantic art project he actually consider, and obviously, for da money. the proof are the very, very annoying and distracting Lavazza product placement, really non needed at all, because both Mr. Seinfeld and Netflix have a lot of money. the only gigantic thing I see is the protagonist massive ego, not even far interested to other life experiences. Sadly, as the time goes by, my genuine attachment to the idea of Mr. Seinfeld as a great human being, very alive during the 90s, is, not so slowly, fading away, discovering, a very wrong side, an ugly sideof his personality, almost like, I repeat, almost like, as a concept, not as the criminial acts, the horrific shadow who everyone discovered above Bill Cosby, a comedian I love but, like Stephen Colbert, I cant view or listen anymore.
