During a Netflix event, the comedian joked about the similarities between his sitcom and the series “Friends”.
During his appearance at the event “Netflix Is a Joke Presents Jerry Seinfeld”, held on Tuesday, May 5, Jerry Seinfeld spoke about the similarities between the series “Friends” and his own sitcom.
The two iconic NBC series followed a group of single friends living in New York and exploring very similar comedic scenarios.
According to a report by People, the comedian joked about the subject and revealed his “theory”: “I think NBC was watching my show and thought, ‘Hey, this is working pretty well. Why don’t we try the same thing with good-looking people?'”, he said.
Created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David and often described as the “show about nothing”, “Seinfeld” was one of the most successful sitcoms in television history. The show aired from 1989 to 1998, totaling 9 seasons and 180 episodes.
Meanwhile, “Friends”, the sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman, aired from 1994 to 2004 and became a global cultural phenomenon, with 10 seasons and 236 episodes.
