Larry King (https://www.primetimer.com/people/larry-king) interviewed more than 30,000 people in his lifetime, according to CNN (https://www.primetimer.com/networks/cnn). Naturally, that meant there had to be a few uncomfortable moments here and there. One such moment manifested when King hosted Jerry Seinfeld (https://www.primetimer.com/people/jerry-seinfeld) on his show in 2007. King asked Seinfeld a question that the prickly comic didn’t take well to.

In 2007, Larry King hosted Jerry Seinfeld for an interview. At the time, Seinfeld was filming for Bee Movie, and promoting it during filming. However, King asked Seinfeld a question about his eponymous sitcom that didn’t go over well.
“You gave it up, right? They didn’t cancel (https://twitter.com/JerrySeinfeld/status/1353070864573468676) you? You canceled them,” King asked Seinfeld of the sitcom.
Seinfeld sat there and stared at King with a dumbfounded expression before shooting back, “You’re not aware of this?”
“No, I’m asking you,” King retorted.
“You think I got canceled? Are you under the impression that I got canceled?” asked Seinfeld, his voice rising.
King sensed that Seinfeld was behaving rather sensitively to the question, despite the fact that King put emphasis on the fact that “you canceled them” in his question.
“Have I hurt you Jerry,” snapped back King.
“I thought that was well documented. Is this still CNN?” asked Seinfeld. “Yeah no, I went off the air, I was the number one show on television Larry. Do you know who I am? 75 million viewers, the last episode!”
“Well don’t take it so bad,” replied King. Clearly Larry King was asking the question to establish a basis of information for the audience, something common to talk shows that Jerry Seinfeld seemed incapable of grasping.
