After audiences shoo-ed off Bee Movie, Jerry Seinfeld is looking to create some buzz on the small screen again. The NY Post is reporting that "the comedian will be playing himself in an exaggerated reality, in a show set in New York." Reportedly it will be a rip off of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David's HBO series (David co-created Seinfeld).
The series is said to be aiming for a June premiere, but what's in store? With Seinfeld ending a decade ago, the comedian (now in his mid-50s) will have to change what he's yada yada-ing about. He'll also be coming back to a post-9/11, and post-Giuliani, New York.
Will the new episodes focus on mysterious maple syrup smells? An overabundance of rats in restaurants? A plagiarized cookbook scandal? Will the germiphobe ban all bars and restaurants after a hepatitis scare? One thing's for sure, he'll likely ditch his portable phone for a cell and an email account.
The show will be on NBC, so perhaps some 30 Rock crossovers are in order.
UPDATE:Curb your enthusiasm Seinfeld fans, apparently this isn't happening (at least not yet). NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks says, ''There's nothing to it" (though they would probably like there to be!). And Seinfeld's spokeswoman, Elizabeth Clark Zoia, also says the rumors are untrue, but, ''We appreciate the enthusiasm.''
