Jerry Seinfeld prefers not to talk Donald Trump during his comedy routines. Apparently, the comedian is much more interested in dried fruit.
When David Letterman asked Seinfeld at Netflix's "FYSee" space in Hollywood if he does any "Trump stuff" in his stand-up, his response was perfect, if not completely unexpected.
"No, it doesn't interest me. I do a lot of raisin stuff," he replied.
He explained to a visibly perplexed but amused Letterman, "I have a lot of raisin material. Because you know you have the Sun-Maid company, and you have the Raisinet people."
Letterman asked Seinfeld if he goes with the Sun-Maid people.
"I just think that it’s interesting that after 80 years, Sun-Maid finally went, 'Hey, why don’t we put some chocolate on it?' Imagine not thinking of that for 80 years. So that really gets me excited, that people pay me to talk about those kinds of things."
Before discussing profiting from chocolate covered fruit, Letterman brought up Michelle Wolf's now famously controversial performance at the 2018 White House Correspondents' Dinner. The two television icons were in agreement that Wolf's comedy routine was both ballsy and great.
Letterman said, "She had the guts to stand up there and didn’t apologize when everybody is now apologizing for everything. So, whether you liked it or not, I really had great admiration for the fact that she was able to just walk in that room and decimate the place." Jerry mentioned that he liked her dedicated work ethic.
