Piers Morgan, Jerry Seinfeld
Hey, Jerry Seinfeld! Piers Morgan thinks you may have lost that lovin’ feeling.
As you might recall, the famed American comedian was full of piss and vinegar when asked about the upcoming royal wedding last week. During an appearance on British morning chat show, Daybreak, he called it “a circus act” and also referred to the Royal Family as “a huge game of pretend.”
Morgan has suggested that Seinfeld may be dealing with some classic green-eyed envy.
“He’s just jealous because he doesn’t have a royal family in this country. He wants one,” the 46-year-old CNN personality recently told Access Hollywood. “He’s obviously lost all touch with his romantic side.”
Awww, Jerry, c’mon. Can you find it in your heart to turn an ear to ol’ Piers for a moment?

Piers is clearly an idiot
we kicked British ass so we don’t have to watch this crap
What pathetic sad comments above – I’ll bet none of you have ever been in the U.K. for any of their wonderful pageants – it is great – everyone has a great time – really good for the country – what do we have Obama!!! not much fun & getting together spirit there. Of course Jerry Seinfeld is the expert – I think not. We need some of this spirit here – it’ll be a great wedding. Love it!!!!
Seinfeld is right.
btw Put a muzzle on your Lord Paul McCartney. Keep him in Liverpoole and out of the USA.
If you people are so anti-British then why are you reading a blog about British entertainment???
Couldn’t agree more, Kevin, makes no sense to come on here and just be silly!
Oh, and by the way, I am a Brit, and proud of it, I will be up at 1am my time to watch the whole thing, just as I watched the wedding of his parents – only then I was in the UK. Just because I am now an “ex-pat” doesn’t mean I have resigned my respect for the Royal family and my allegiance to the Queen as an ex-soldier.
The Brits really can’t accept that there are Americans who don’t like them or their civilization. It isn’t jealousy, it’s pure unadulterated contempt. Will Britain ever grow up and stop playing that it’s the 17th century? I doubt it. And BTW, I don’t know one person who ever went to Britain because there is a royal family. I don’t know what difference it would make to a tourist if a tour guide said that’s the building where the royals used to live when when we had them instead of that is where they live now. It’s just a big lie they tell Brits so that they will keep subsidizing those parasites.
I don’t think Jerry is saying anything more than lots of Brits have said over the years — even a hundred+something years ago, realists were saying that the UK was a ‘deferential society,’ a place (unlike the USA) where most people didn’t really try to upset the given social order. The monarchy did an amazing gymnastic turn to make itself a modern symbol of the UK rather than an actual political power, and the Queen is the most recent exponent of that. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad system or a bad idea, but it IS a huge game of pretend.

“Piers is clearly an idiot”
I have to agree. His disgraceful shameless performance judging Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent was disgusting. He proves how awful he is with practically every interview he conducts. His interview of Oprah Winfrey was one of the worst interviews I ever saw. I can’t imagine what CNN was thinking when they hired him to replace Larry King. While King was no great interviewer, certainly no Charlie Rose, Morgan is worthless, almost as bad as Owen Bennet-Jones. He’s boring, trite, and I’m sick of his perpetual allusions to Britain which is irrelevant to this segment of the American audience.
As for the royal family, I see it as a symbol of the British Empire. European colonial emipres were as cruel and brutal as anything humanity has ever seen and none of them was any more cruel or inhuman than the British empire. When the crrimes against humanity it perpetrated are tallied up over the centuries, crimes which at its height extended over one quarter of the entire human race, crimes on which the sun never set, it makes La Cosa Nostra look like pikers. Ironically the last remaining victims of the British empire are the British themselves who are involuntarily forced to subsidize this lot of parasites and deluded into accepting it as desirable.
It should be kept in mind that while it is true that the founders of America were largely very well read taking ideas from many sources including Locke and Magna Carta, America was conceived of as an anti-Brtitain and an anti-Europe. It wasn’t merely a revolt against the English crown but against the very concept of government and its relationship to society that prevailed in Europe at the time. America is not like Britain or the rest of Europe at all. To pretend that we have common shared values is a gross distortion. Britain’s release of Megrahi, the man who was responsible for the cold blooded murder of nearly 300 Americans so that they could seal an oil dea for British Petroleum with Gaddafi is the kind of betrayal that would never have happened in reverse, especially after Britain promised to keep him incarcerated if he were convicted is proof of that. These people are hardly our “friends.” The only special relationship we have with them is that we keep bailing them out of world wars they get themselves involve in and lose.
I am an American that is tired of the British monarchy. I would love to see a Revolution of the British people in my lifetime – where the Brits say, “Enough of these good-for-nothing-else-figure-heads!”…just like the French Revolution & the American Revolution. I think our colonial founding-Fathers would roll over in their graves from the Americans making a big fuss over the royal wedding. As a reminder to all Americans – our founders fought & died to free us from the British monarchy …to see the number of patriots who gave their lives to free us visit any of the historical gravesites in Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey, etc…
