Jerry Seinfeld Goes On The Telly And Tells The British That Their Royal Wedding Is An ‘Absurd’ ‘Circus Act’

(By Jon Bershad, Mediaite) - Yesterday, Jerry Seinfeld proved an old show biz rule; the ballsiest way to promote a show in a foreign country is to go on their TV and mock their royal family and their most beloved institutions. Seinfeld appeared on the British morning show 'Daybreak' to talk up a new comedy special and gave his thoughts on the royal wedding, calling it a “circus act” and explaining how the royals aren’t actually “special people.” Unsurprisingly, some of the reaction to Seinfeld’s comments overseas has been a little bit chilly. I suppose we should just hope Seinfeld never tries to do a stand up tour in somewhere like North Korea.
