Jerry Seinfeld asks Howard Stern for forgiveness after suggesting he isn’t funny

It’s all fun and games in comedy until one comedian calls out another’s “chops.”

Jerry Seinfeld is walking back comments he made about Howard Stern earlier this week when he implied that Stern was not funny. The admission made headlines, prompting Seinfeld to share his remorse and ask Stern for forgiveness.

“I really feel bad for what I said about my friend Howard Stern in a conversation with David Spade and Dana Carvey, talking about the glut of comedy podcasts,” he told Page Six on Wednesday.

“I meant to say he must feel surrounded, but I said ‘outflanked,’ which sounded terrible and insulting. And of course, none of these little shows are any threat to his giant show. Anyway, it was bad and I’m sorry, Howie. I still love you. Please forgive me.”
