CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline Hollywood reports:

In a sit down with Bari Weiss for The Free Press’s podcast Honestly, Jerry Seinfeld reminisced about growing up and wanting to become “a real man,” joking that he never “made it.”

“I really thought when I was in that era, again, it was [John F. Kennedy], it was Muhammad Ali, it was Sean Connery, Howard Cosell, you can go all the way down there. That’s a real man,” he said. Seinfeld said he grew up admiring these figures, but as a comedian, he didn’t become that because it is a “childish pursuit.”

He continued, “But I miss a dominant masculinity. Yeah, I get the toxic thing. Thank you, thank you. But still, I like a real man.”
