Rewind: Woody Allen on "Seinfeld," Oscar appearance after 9/11 & more

My 2002 interview with Woody Allen for the film, "Hollywood Ending." He surprised me with what he said about the time he figured in a "Seinfeld' plot, the secrecy about his Academy Awards appearance after 9/11, and more.

I looove Woody Allen, his cinema and his dialogues are funny philosophical and witty he inspires me so much!

[@randycunningham7318]

He is a robot.

[@tod3msn]

I love Woody’s films.

[@nietzschesmuse]

I love this man, Woody Allen is a great writer and amazing filme director!

[@opaljk4835]

But how do you feel about him?

[@loveanimals-0197]

This video is a real gem. Hadn't seen this before. Keep them coming.

[@kevinhealey6540]

You can learn from him from these interviews. He's a straight shooter and speaks from the hip.

[@lynnewebley7270]

Fantastic talent

[@dylanthrillmour866]

I would've thought he knew about the Seinfeld bit since he's friendly with Larry

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

Yeah you would think so 😂

[@henryulric]

Larry and him got close much later on coz of Whatever Works. I don't think Woody knew him back then, although L. David was always a fan and already knew him like all of us do.

Love Woody, love New York!

[@roccoz2231]

I always wondered what Woody thought of that Seinfeld episode since he never publicly commented on it. He didn't mention it in his memoir either. Him pretending not to have heard of the episode in this interview is classic Woody. Meanwhile, Kramer's line is probably quoted back to Woody more often than the lines from his actual movies.

[@peterzang]

Don’t forget that Woody and Larry David go way back. And also, of course, did Whatever Works.together. Which is a gem.

[@commanderkeen3787]

It's a single episode and a very minor part of the Seinfeld series. Not surprised he forgot about it

[@davidlabarca4268]

I highly doubt Kramer's line is quoted back to Woody more often than lines from Woody's films. My guess is that Larry never mentioned the Seinfeld line to Woody because Larry knew Woody would not give a darn about it.

[@lepetitchat123]

I don't think Woody watches TV. So it's understandable he never heard of that joke

[@lexkanyima2195]

​@@lepetitchat123Woody is too famous for tv

[@TimeIdle]

"Lucky"? How about deserving? It's the public that is lucky.

[@user-er3ri6sc3j]

Jerry Seinfeld owes Woody Allen a lot.

[@lesleyheller2271]

Jason Alexander was embarrassing in the first season or so, basically doing "Woody Allen". "George" only found his own way later on.

Never seen Seinfeld? Jeez

[@BuckForearm]

Sorry but that first question was dumb. Who cares about some minor inconsequential line in an early Seinfeld?

[@randycunningham7318]

He's a robot.

[@Tupapaperro777]

People still respect this monster ?

You bet. The art and the artist

Thank you. Trolls. Uggh

@@peterzang "Grow up" is a rather ironic response in this case lol
