Famed actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld was a guest on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live. The comedian was a guest on the popular segment “Weekend Update.” During his appearance, Seinfeld pretends to not know where he is and then Weekend Update co-host Colin Jost informs him that he is on the set of SNL.
But even after Jost brings him up to speed, the comedian remains clueless.
“Is that a podcast?” he replied.

Jerry Seinfeld Named Drops Ryan Gosling
Jerry Seinfeld appeared on the late-night program to promote his upcoming movie Unfrosted. The flicks follow the journey of how the popular Pop-Tart snack came to be.
And although he was on one of the top television shows in the country, SNL, Seinfeld admitted to doing too much press for the film.
He also namedrops movie star Ryan Gosling.
“I want to help other people. If you’re struggling with the press, you’re not alone. I’m talking to you Ryan Gosling,” he said.
Gosling was one of the stars of last summer’s blockbuster film, Barbie. He did a considerable amount of press for the film including an Oscars performance after the movie was released.
“When I started doing press for Unfrosted I was like you. Funny, good-looking, now look at me. Do you think this is how I wanted to celebrate my 26th birthday? But you can get clean.”
‘SNL’ Actor Apologizes to Sharon Stone
Saturday Night Live is one of NBC’s top television programs. The show has earned a reputation for pushing the envelope with the content of some of its skits. But in this current climate, some of the older skits have been deemed inappropriate.
Recently, cast member Dana Carvey apologized to famed actor Sharon Stone for a past skit that was racy. In the SNL skit, Carvey and fellow cast members Kevin Nealon and Rob Schneider play airport security agents. They essentially sexually harass Stone, making her disrobe during the security check.
“I want to apologize publicly for the security check sketch where I played an Indian man and we’re convincing Sharon, her character whatever, to take her clothes off to go through the security thing,” Carvey said. “It’s so 1992. It’s from another era.”
