"Jerry Seinfeld has defended the two-part ending of Seinfeld. Season nine closer &amp;#039;The Finale&amp;#039; attracted an estimated 76 million viewers but divided fans on its broadcast on May 14, 1998.  The episode saw lead characters Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer prosecuted and jailed after violating a Good Samaritan law when they failed to help an overweight man who was getting carjacked. During an AMA session on Reddit, Seinfeld was asked how happy he was with the finale and if he would in hindsight have changed anything. &amp;quot;I was happy with the Seinfeld finale because we didn&amp;#039;t want to do another episode as much as we wanted to have everybody come back to the show we had so much fun with,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It was a way to thank all of the people who worked on the show over the years that we thought made the show work. I don&amp;#039;t believe in trying to change the past but I&amp;#039;m very happy with it.&amp;quot;      Of the sitcom&amp;#039;s reputation for being a &amp;quot;show about nothing&amp;quot; after the pitching of Jerry within Seinfeld, the comedian added: &amp;quot;The pitch for the show, the real pitch, when Larry [David] and I went to NBC in 1988, was we want to show how a comedian gets his material. &amp;quot;The show about nothing was just a joke in an episode many years later, and Larry and I to this day are surprised that it caught on as a way that people describe the show, because to us it&amp;#039;s the opposite of that.&amp;quot; Asked what the most mundane thing he and show creator David had obsessed over was, he added: &amp;quot;We never obsess over anything that isn&amp;#039;t mundane. Most recent was intentional mumbling. &amp;quot;We wrote this script for this thing that you will eventually see but I can&amp;#039;t reveal what it is at this time. &amp;quot;All I can tell you is that it&amp;#039;s big, huge, gigantic. Even bigger than that Amazon package.&amp;quot;  Of how much David is like George Costanza, Seinfeld said: &amp;quot;Larry David is not really that much like George in real life. George is a little bit angry. And does not care if he has to break the rules to get what he wants. &amp;quot;And Larry David is not like that at all. Larry David is a very considerate and respectful kind of person. George is not.&amp;quot; Asked if David was like the fictionalised version he plays of himself in Curb Your Enthusiasm, he added: &amp;quot;I find his character on Curb to be the most reasonable and logical person. And I&amp;#039;ve never understood why people think of him any other way. &amp;quot;To me he is one of the most intelligent and perceptive people, and our minds are very synchronous. So I think he is very much like that character, maybe not as nice all the time.&amp;quot;      Quizzed on his feelings about the use of laugh tracks in sitcoms, Seinfeld said: &amp;quot;This was something we struggled with quite often on Seinfeld. &amp;quot;Because we had real laughs on the scenes that were shot in front of an audience, but then we would shoot other scenes that were not in front of the audience (which didn&amp;#039;t have any laughs) and then it felt like a bit of a mismatch, so we tried to compromise and put in a subtle laugh track. &amp;quot;I think that one of the fun things of a sitcom is feeling like you&amp;#039;re in an audience even though you&amp;#039;re home, watching it by yourself. I have to say I like some sitcoms with them and some without. Depends on the show.&amp;quot; A famous car fan, Seinfeld was asked if he would ever go on Top Gear as a &amp;#039;Star in a Reasonably Priced Car&amp;#039;, and responded: &amp;quot;Sure. It&amp;#039;s a little inconvenient though, since they&amp;#039;re in England.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
