Jerry Seinfeld is Coming Back to TV

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 16:58:20 +0000

Jerry Seinfeld has created a reality TV series for NBC called Marriage Ref. The show will have a panel of judges consisting of celebrities, comedians, and athletes who will recommend resolutions to marital conflicts.

The suits at NBC stressed the show is "strictly comedic."

Jerry will executive produce the show, but may make a cameo.

Are marital problems something we should be laughing at?

Microsoft Dumps Jerry Seinfeld

Crispin Porter, from the ad agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky, said Microsoft currently has no plans to air a third commercial featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates, amid criticism that the ads made Microsoft look even more out of touch with consumers. Instead, Microsoft will accept the $10 million loss paid to Seinfeld, and go with anti-mac ads for the remainder of their $300 million ad campaign budget. Why didn’t they do anti-mac ads in the first place? We think Bill is trying to get past his geek image. We’re not sure why that would be. Chicks may not dig guys with fast computers, but they do dig guys with fat bank accounts.

Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld – New Family

Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld have put out a new ad, which is more like a short movie. It’s better than the first one. I still don’t see how this $300 million ad campaign is going to sell more copies of Windows.

Is anyone viewing HG with Firefox on a Linux box? Didn’t think so.

Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates Microsoft Ad

Microsoft released their first ad co-starring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. It’s not funny. It’s not entertaining. It’s a waste of money. Jerry got paid $10 million, and Microsoft plans to spend $300 million on the campaign. Jerry’s fine, but Microsoft really need to fire their ad agency and hire a new one.

Steve Jobs will always be the cooler geek Bill.

Jerry Seinfeld New Face of Microsoft

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:03:51 +0000

Microsoft will embark on a new $300 million advertising campaign, and has hired Jerry Seinfeld to be the face of that campaign. Jerry inked a $10 million deal, and will appear with Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. Microsoft is trying to compete with the "cool" image Apple has built for itself with younger tech savvy consumers. Brian Steinberg, television editor for the weekly advertising magazine Ad says:

"Seinfeld does represent sort of a challenge. He’s not Dane Cook. He’s got a more sophisticated everyday take on things. He often comes across as a questioner of conventional wisdom but also can be kind of a crank. It’s a fine line to walk when you’re dealing with a younger person."

As Apple replaced the Mac operating system with a customized version of a Unix operating system called Free BSD, then renamed it to OS X, the Mac has been able to utilize a larger choice of software applications, but the number of choices still pale in comparison to the number of applications available to Windows customers. With that fact it would seem Microsoft should focus on usability, and the benefits of Windows, but Apple has already attacked the ease of use of Windows by taking aim at prompt dialogue windows related to security on the Windows Vista. Microsoft is left trying to make Windows cool, so the consumer bypasses their logic, and purchases based on their emotional impression of Windows versus Apple’s Mac. That’s a tall order with Seinfeld as Microsoft’s new pitchman, especially when a Macintosh could be seen in the back of his apartment on episodes of Seinfeld.

Perhaps one approach might be to show Seinfeld’s frustration with the lack of applications available for the Mac, which causes Seinfeld to switch to Windows. Even if Microsoft is not entirely successful they still win. Years ago Microsoft stole Windows and the Mouse from Apple, after Apple purchased those inventions from the Xerox research group. Once Steve Jobs returned to Apple, Bill Gates settled the long standing legal fight by investing $150 million into Apple, giving Microsoft a share of Apple. If Apple wins the ad fight, so do Microsoft shareholders. Resistance is futile.

On a side note, it was recently reported that Steve Jobs was getting medical treatment for a very serious medical condition, but he would not disclose what that condition was. We wish him a speedy recovery, and many more years at the head of Apple.

Jerry Seinfeld in Car Accident

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:07:13 +0000

Jerry Seinfeld (53) is lucky to be alive after the brakes in his 1967 Fiat BTM failed on Saturday. The brakes failed as the car approached an intersection. Jerry swerved causing the car to flip onto the passenger side, the roof, and then the driver’s side. Responding to questions about the crash Jerry said:

"Because I know there are kids out there, I want to make sure they all know that driving without braking is not something I recommend, unless you have professional clown training or a comedy background, as I do," Seinfeld said. "It is not something I plan to make a habit of."

His wife Jessica said:

"He was a little shocked when he walked in and it started to dawn on him what happened."

Luckily Jerry wasn’t hurt.

Tom Cruise Six Part Scientology Video Series

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 17:19:58 +0000

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, and Suri Cruise, all went to have dinner with Jerry Seinfeld, and to see his cool Porsche garage. The Church of Scientology International (CSI) has been trying like crazy to stop people from seeing his Scientology videos. CSI only wants you to see Tom the father, Tom the husband, Tom the movie star, but we’ve got six more videos you are forbidden to see by The Church of Scientology International (CSI). Click the link below to see all six if you want to know who Tom Cruise the Scientologist really is.

At the Scientology awards, held a few years ago, Tom was awarded with the Freedom of Valor Medal. This first video is of Scientology’s supreme leader David Miscavige.

Jerry Seinfeld Sued

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 02:13:07 +0000

Jerry Seinfeld and his wife Jessica Seinfeld, are being sued by Missy Chase Lapine who claims Jessica heavily plagiarized her The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals. She’s now suing Jessica for unspecified amount of damages for her similarly themed cookbook, Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Getting Your Kids Eating Good Food, which was published six months after Lapine’s. Jerry says Lapine is accusing his wife of “vegetable plagiarism.”

On David Letterman, Jerry said that both books were published at the same time and implied that his wife’s rival cookbook author was “wacko” and a celebrity stalker. He joked about Lapine’s name, saying, “If you read history, many of the three-name people do become assassins." He went on to name John Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman as an example.

Lapine claims she was the victim of a “slanderous attack” carried out on national television. Lapine’s suite says, "He told E! News, [Lapine] is another kind of nut. You know, she thinks she invented vegetables. And she is accusing my wife of stealing her mashed-up carrots. Jerry Seinfeld is an enormously wealthy and well-known comedian, and Jessica Seinfeld is his wife, but that does not give them license to slander and plagiarize."

These two women should do this the old fashion way. Go on Martha Stewart and have a cooking contest, with Martha as the judge. The loser has to pull their book off the shelves.

American Gangster, starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, took in $46.3 million this weekend to take the top spot over Jerry Seinfeld’s Bee Movie which took in $39.1 million. Don’t bring a stinger to a gun fight. American Gangster was good, I saw it on Friday.
