<title>Was HBO&#8217;s Seinfeld Tribute An April Fool&#8217;s Joke?</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="/fishbowlny/files/original/seinfeld_cooper_hbo.asp"><img src="/fishbowlny/files/original/seinfeld_cooper_hbo-thumb.jpg" width="425" height="231" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>Apparently <a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/04012007/tv/helllooo___jerry__tv_michael_starr.htm" target="_blank">not</a>, even though the event, which featured Jerry, <strong>Chris Rock</strong>, <strong>Robert Klein</strong> and <strong>Garry Shandling</strong> in a panel discussion/roast moderated by <strong>Anderson Cooper</strong>, was filmed almost 18 months ago.</p>
<p><strong>Nancy Geller</strong>, the network&#8217;s senior VP, original programming, wasn&#8217;t available to comment, but she told the <i>Post</I> there was &#8220;no thought of putting this on HBO.&#8221; Which, of course, begs the question as to why it was being filmed in the first place?</p>
<p>As Seinfeld himself noted during the special: &#8220;Your whole career as a comedian is about making fun of pretentious, high-minded, congratulatory, b.s. events like this one. The whole feeling in this room of reverence and honoring is the exact opposite of everything I have wanted my life to be about. I really don&#8217;t want to be up here. &#8230; I want to be in the back over there &#8230; saying something funny to somebody about what a crock this whole thing is.&#8221;</p>
