Comedian Jerry Seinfeld isn’t just a man of humor. But he’s also humble enough to know that not everyone is a fan of his comedy.

But on New York City sports radio host crossed a line about Seinfeld’s humor he thought he could get away with on-air…

But Seinfeld was listening and decided to give the man a call.

It all started when WFAN host Chris McMonigle made a reference to Seinfeld season 8 episode “The Chicken Roaster” on his Tuesday show.

Paul Rosenberg, the show’s producer and frequent contributor, chimed in and called it “one of the few good Seinfeld episodes.”

But what they didn’t know was that Seinfeld happened to be listening — so he decided to pick up the phone.

“I’m told that the great Jerry Seinfeld was actually listening and has called in,” McMonigle said moments later. “I’m hoping I can defend his honor here.”

Seinfeld was then given the mic.

“I’m not arrogant enough to think that everybody should like I do,” the comedian said over the airwaves. “I just wanted to let you know it doesn’t bother me. I’m OK with it. One out of two is fine for me.”

“Well look, we made 180 episodes. Three good ones. We’re like the Giants,” Seinfeld said, referencing the NFL’s New York Giants.

A good sport about it all, Seinfeld, a huge fan of the New York Mets, then used the call to talk about his favorite baseball team.

“You could make the argument that this season was the most magical, not counting the two [World] Series wins,” Seinfeld said. “This was the most magical because it was the chemistry and it was the energy and it was an emotional thing of guys that weren’t supposed to be that good.

The Mets, a team with low expectations for the 2024 season, finished 16 games above .500 and advanced all the way to the National League Championship Series where they lost in six games to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the eventual World Series champions.

Seinfeld also used the radio appearance to gloat about the New York Yankees’ loss in the World Series, particularly after the Dodgers won the series in Game 5.
