Jerry Seinfeldhas some bad news forSeinfeldfans.
The comedian shut down rumors of a possibleSeinfeldreunion during a press junket for the sitcom’s upcoming streaming debut on Netflix on Wednesday, saying “there’s absolutely nothing going on.”
“I am very much a nostalgia person. I love to go to my house where I grew up on Long Island,” he told reporters at Citi Field. “It’s one of the reasons I love the Mets because I loved it when I was a kid, and it makes me think back to that time. But I like to go forward in life. I believe that going forward. I don’t know what we would do that would be good.”
Seinfeld cautioned that there’s a possibility that the cast “wouldn’t be as good” in a reunion setting and said he was content with the show they produced during its original nine-season run.
“I think we did a good job,” he teased.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus,Jason Alexanderand Michael Richards were also in the cast.

“I remember I was in a cab one time, and the cab driver said to me, ‘Why did you stop doing that show? It was very successful,'” he told reporters. “And I said to him, ‘Well, I was at a point, we had done it for nine years, and I realized I could go off the air right now, and I could be a legend in the sitcom world, or I could make some more money. I could risk that to make some more money.'”
“I said, ‘What would you do?’ [to] the cab driver, he said, ‘I go for legend.’ I said, ‘Yeah, that’s what I thought,'” he continued. “So, we went for legend. That’s why we’re not coming back.”
All nine seasons ofSeinfeldhit Netflix Friday.
