Not A Show About Nothing
Surprisingly, the show was not pitched as a “show about nothing.” Jerry Seinfeld explained during a Reddit AMA in 2014, “The pitch for the show, the real pitch, when Larry and I went to NBC in 1988, was we want to show how a comedian gets his material,’ The show about nothing was just a joke in an episode many years later, and Larry and I to this day are surprised that it caught on as a way that people describe the show, because to us it’s the opposite of that.”
