Reboot facts….
The original show goes back a bit, and even the reboot attempt was a while ago. i was on set for the pilot reboot. just quick facts, Jerry wasn't passed…..i wanted him to come back and say , “See i told you it wasn’t over.” (a call back to the original finale, where he refused to admit the show was over). The new pilot was awesome and hilarious… i knew/know all the warm up guys. I’m sure he tried his best, but Universal hired a former writer of Seinfeld. A writer/standup isnt the same as the expert warm up performers.
If they got Ron Person, Universal would have gotten 4-5 super strong sessions of the reboot. Producers had the cast rehearse with a studio audience for 3 hours….THEN another 3 hours of taping with a new studio audience. The warm up had to do 6 hours. Too much. Should have just spent the money and got Ron Person in my experience. A few bucks cost in the beginning to get 4-5 seasons…would have been well worth it.
Not convinced? The only joke told that was “funny” by the warm up of the 3 hours of taping….”I like to ask the cashier when i check out of the supermarket…..’Do you think i bought enough toilet paper for the amount of food i bought?’.” QED
