As synchronicity would have it, I ran out of other interesting things to watch just a couple of days ago, and out of curiosity watched a few of these CICGC clips. I had downloaded them a while ago after reading an interview with Jerry Seinfeld in which he said a few things I thought were interesting. Sadly, he seems to have said everything interesting he has to say *in* that interview, because he certainly didn't come up with anything in the clips I watched. My fault, actually, for even watching. I knew going into it that it would in one sense be re-runs of "Seinfeld," with a bunch of self-obsessed people talking about themselves as if we should find them interesting just because they find themselves interesting. But I foolishly thought that a few of the people might actually *be* interesting. Bzzzzzt. Out of about a dozen of these clips I watched, the only guests I found the least bit interesting were Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey. I was actually hoping for some quick-witted banter between fast-thinking comedians, but Nooooooo. Color me so disappointed that I'm not going to turn Nabby's links above back into links, so that other people don't waste their precious time like I did... This is NOT an "anti-TM thing," as Nabby and others will try to characterize it, BTW. I have nothing against Seinfeld or Leno (although the latter has much better taste in cars). I was actually hoping for better, which is why I downloaded the clips in the first place. Leno was actually "fast on his feet" mentally in ways that Seinfeld never approached in the clip of them I watched. It's just that my reaction to all of it was just like my reaction to seeing an old episode of "Seinfeld" these days: "What on EARTH must I have been thinking to have liked this stuff back then? My standards must have been really low."
