Watch: Jerry Seinfeld In New Super Bowl Ad With A Celebrity Twist

Expectantly, we have been seeing lots of Super Bowl ads this week… first we had the Ferris Bueller homage for the Honda ad with Matthew Broderick, today we have one with Jerry Seinfeld – also for a car company! Is this a direct competition with or response to Honda? There is a lot of allusion happening as well, clearly with great Seinfeld references (one of my favorites is the Soup Nazi?!). The best part… the celebrity twist at the end? Who is it? Watch and find out.

What do you think? I think its pretty hilarious, and I love the twist at the end giving it that Super Bowl ad quality. I think it is natural that people will be comparing this one with the Ferris Bueller Honda ad. They are both car ads and both using allusion techniques to classic shows both lead stars are famous for.. which ad do you like better, Seinfeld or Bueller?

Quote Of The Day

"To be honest with you, I never felt great being at that pinaccle. There was a point where the show was really at a very high level of, it was a thing. It was the thing for a period of time. And I thought, this is not good, because it's not where I belong. This is not comedy. I always thought comedy and star are mutually exclusive."

More Trouble With Boundaries For Broadway Pariah Eric Nederlander

This man needs to learn to leave women alone.

Eric Nederlander, son of tycoon Robert Nederlander, violated an order of protection when he allegedly pulled ex Nancy Okun's hair while she was sleeping and yelled "You're cheating on me."

Nederlander was arraigned and prosecutors asked for a $15,000 bond but the judge let him off with $5K.

His reasoning? Nederlander's lawyer, Eric Lipton, said his client was a lifelong New Yorker. How sweet.

This isn't the first time Nederlander has had restraining orders slapped on him. His most infamous relationship with Jessica Sklar (now JerrySeinfeld) ended with the "Leave Me Alone" papers too.

Okun was given a full order of protection and Nederlander continues to walk the streets.

When will he ever learn his lesson?!

Regis Reflects On The End With Jerry Seinfeld

Coincidentally, the man who will take over his chair when Regis leaves the show for good! (But only for a short while.)

This week marks the end of Regis Philbin's 30+ year career hosting Live! and for the occassion, he sat down with Jerry Seinfeld for an interview with Newsweek. Jerry knows a thing or two about leaving network TV on a high note (walked away from Seinfeld at the top of its game in 1998), so the pair shared their thoughts on leaving such dream jobs behind.

Jerry focused primarily on Regis though, asking how Regis has managed to keep his a career in broadcasting viable for nearly six decades. He responded:

"You know, I never knew if I had any talent when I started in this business. My first job was being a page at The Tonight Show. I saw Jack Paar come out one night and sit on the edge of his desk and talk about what he'd done the night before. I thought, 'I can do that!' I used to do that on a street corner in the Bronx with all my buddies."

Seinfeld adds that Philbin is unquestionably "the most successful television performer in (Read more...)

NPH Added To List of Live! With Kelly Guest Co-Hosts

Awesome!!

Neil Patrick Harris has officially been added to the list as the second guest co-host when Live! With Kelly premieres next week.

With Regis Philbin leaving, Kelly Ripa will be sitting down with a select few guest co-hosts until the seat is permanently filled with a replacement.

Jerry Seinfeld will kick off the new show on Nov. 21.

Meanwhile, the revised Live! With Kelly has been given the greenlight until at least 2017.

Way to go, Kelly! Smart girl.

And we're excited to see her and NPH together again! They have major C-H-E-M-I-S-T-R-Y.

Still No Replacement For Regis, But…

The show must go on and it shall with Jerry Seinfeld taking the reins for a bit.

As a permanent replacement for Regis Philbin has still not been found, producers at ABC has decided to temporarily retitle the show Live! With Kelly and have a barrage of guest hosts fill-in with Kelly Ripa while one is found.

So, basically, you'll be doing what you have been doing since Reg had his heart attack. So, the point of Regis leaving is ...

Regardless, on Kelly's first week without Regis permanently, Jerry will be filling in as co-host with special guests Jason Segal, Kim Cattrall, Howie Mandel, Jamie Oliver and Miss Piggy. Producer Michael Gelman called having Jerry on as their first co-host is a "great way to kick off the new beginning of our show.”

Don't know who you are all kidding. No one can take the place of Regis. No one!
