Jerry Seinfeld has reflected on a previous interview with the late TV icon Larry King.
A clip from a 2007 interview, in which King asks Seinfeld about his self-titled hit series going off-air, has resurfaced following King’s recent death at the age of 87.
The video saw King saying âYou gave it up, right? They didnât cancel you. You cancelled them,” before Seinfeld replied: âYouâre not aware of this? You think I got cancelled? Do you know who I am?â
Now addressing the infamous interview on Twitter while paying tribute to King, Jerry Seinfeld wrote: “Always loved Larry King and will miss him. The âcancelledâ bit was just me having fun with his little mistake. Nothing more. Or less. #ripLarry”

âFor 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television and digital media, Larryâs many thousands of interviews, awards, and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster.
âAdditionally, while it was his name appearing in the showsâ titles, Larry always viewed his interview subjects as the true stars of his programs, and himself as merely an unbiased conduit between the guest and audience.â
