Jerry Seinfeld isn’t a fan of Lady Gaga

Jerry Seinfeld was on WFAN radio Monday night where he called Lady Gaga a jerk and said he hates her. Jerry was talking about the incident where Gaga gave the finger to fans during a Mets game and was somehow upgraded to the luxury box he owned.

“This woman is a jerk. I hate her,” Seinfeld joked during an interview on WFAN radio Monday night. “I can’t believe they put her in my box, which I paid for.”

“You give people the finger and you get upgraded? Is that the world we’re living in now? he said.

In his trademark stand-up schtick, Seinfeld added, “Why is she giving the finger? How old is the finger? How’d it even get to be the finger?”

When host Steve Somers brought up the episode, Seinfeld at first said, “I wish her the best,” but then added, “you take one ‘A’ off of that and you’ve got gag.”

“I don’t know what these young people think or how they promote their careers,” he said. “I’m older, I’m 56. I look at Lady Gaga the way Keith Hernandez watches these kids when they pull the pocket out, they wear the inside-out pocket. … Do you think he understands that? He can’t understand that. That’s a new game, that’s kids.”

He added, “I’m not one of these all-publicity-is-good people. People talk about you need exposure — you could die of exposure.”

“She is talented,” admitted Seinfeld. “I don’t know why she’s doing this stuff.”

You can half attribute this to Lady Gaga being an attention whore and half to Jerry Sienfeld being old. Part way through reading this I was expecting Jerry to talk about the day he tied an onion to his belt because that was the style at the time. The point is, the only way you can figure out what he’s talking about is if you were one of those people who walk around the house breathing with an oxygen tank.
