Jerry Seinfeld is still haunted by his TV mother's words -- "How could anyone not like him?"
No wonder Seinfeld has been all over social media in recent months.
He forgoes his usual stoicism and criticizes everything in sight, from critics of his movie "Unfrosted" to Howard Stern, college campuses, and even the cast of Friends.
In a recent interview, Lisa Kudrow stated that Seinfeld tried to take credit for Friends' success and implied that if not for Seinfeld laying the groundwork for a quirky New York group of misfits, the show would never have made it.
To this day, many Seinfeld fans think Friends was a rip-off of Seinfeld that just happened to inherit a cushy Must-See TV time slot.
However, Friends fans, and even some Seinfeld fans, quickly point out that Friends' humor is nothing like Seinfeld's outlook.
The issue may be confusing when one tries to break...

Paramount Pictures has renewed its first look development deal with Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort Productions for an additional three-years. The Melrose lot is releasing the Reynolds’ headliner and feature production, If, on May 17; that pic getting a big push during Super Bowl which is airing on the studio’s sister Paramount+ and CBS.
Reynolds’ new pact, which covers motion pictures at all budgets, will go through December 2026.
Brian Robbins, Paramount Pictures President & CEO, beamed, “Ryan and George epitomize the kind of creativity and innovative thinking that allow this industry to reinvent itself time and again. On behalf of everyone at Paramount, we’re thrilled to continue working with Ryan and the team at Maximum Effort to create theatrical projects that are as original, smart and fun as they are.”
“The Paramount partnership feels like home to everyone at Maximum Effort so another 3 years was a no-brainer,” said Maximum Effort Co-Founder Reynolds.
