New York sports radio host Paul Rosenberg doubled down after his criticism of Seinfeld elicited a phone call from Jerry Seinfeld himself. Rosenberg, a host and producer on Audacy’s 101.9 WFAN, caused a stir on Tuesday, November 12, when he said there were o nly “a few good Seinfeld episodes.
” Moments later, Seinfeld, 70, who was listening to the show, called in to address Rosenberg’s critique. “I’m not arrogant enough to think that everybody should like what I do,” the comedian said. “I just wanted to let you know it doesn’t bother me.
I’m OK with it.” In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly on Friday, November 15, Rosenberg refused to concede anything in the face of Seinfeld’s leniency. “I am not a Seinfeld crazy guy like others who live, breathe and die for it,” Rosenberg said.
“I’m not going to Seinfeld trivia nights. You know, in the background on TV? Sure. That’s fine.
But I’m never locked into it. Just for me, it was never the type of humor that I enjoyed.” Rosenberg continued, “It’s not like I said Seinfeld is awful.
Clearly the show was incredibly successful. In my opinion, it’s just not my taste. I don’t think every single episode is a benchmark episode.
” Ultimately, he said, “It’s not my cup of tea.” While he held true to his beliefs, Rosenberg joked that very few in his orbit share or agree with them. After the on-air moment with Seinfeld went viral, Rosenberg said he received an overwhelming amount of “calls.
