We went to go see Jerry Seinfeld. All we saw was some guy named Ari who kept interrupting the greatest comedian on television. The worst night of my year.
I’m a guy but I have to say there’s gotta be at least one woman on this Comedy mount and that woman is undisputedly Joan Rivers. Jay at least has gotta know better
Listening to Larry and Jerry was awesome (at their recent live show) WHEN they were given a chance to talk, which wasn’t much because Ari kept interrupting them. It was quite annoying and rude. I don’t think Ari has the interviewing skills needed to be a host or have a podcast for that matter!
“One of the worst live experiences I’ve had since living in Los Angeles.”
Appreciate Jerry and Larry trying to save the night, but Ari’s arrogance, poor interviewing skills, and inability to read the room made for a tough watch. Next time, let your legendary guests get a word in edgewise.
The live show with L.D. and Seinfeld was pretty cringe. Nothing to see here. Try Smartless instead?

Hosts Ari and Ben guide expansive conversations that mix career highlights, cultural impact, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and era-driven context, often weighing competing criteria to crown four ultimate figures in a given category. Noteworthy is the blend of high-profile guests with a freewheeling, improv-heavy format that invites bold takes, humorous banter, and thoughtful historical or cultural rationale—making it appealing to listeners who enjoy cross-domain discussions and spirited rankings.
