New York Mets legend Keith Hernandez joined 'Tucker Carlson Today' and shared how his time on Seinfeld 'gave him another life' following retirement.
"I got this call… ‘they want you to do a sitcom, I mean, they want you to do the show, the"Seinfeld" show.’ And I don't watch primetime because, to this day, I don't, but because we were playing night games. I didn't watch TV." Hernandez started out, detailing his phone call with Boras.
"And I go, 'the"Seinfeld" show?' He goes, ‘they want you to just go to LA and do the shoot;’ he goes, ‘minimal lines,’ and I go, OK, and first thing I said, well, how much?' he jested, before revealing that NBC would pay him fifteen grand for what was his first ever acting experience. SEINFELD -- Season 9 -- Pictured: Michael Richards as Cosmo Kramer, Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes, Jerry Seinfeld as Jerry SeinfeldDespite his fear, Hernandez fit right in as himself with ‘the show about nothing', telling Carlson how the show's co-creatorsand Larry David were baseball fans - with Seinfeld being a fan of Hernandez himself as a New York Mets supporter.
"And that's how they shaped that show. They told me, that was the second year of the show, I believe, or maybe the third, and the show hadn't really taken off. And Larry told me later that they knew they felt they had a winner. And they had it written for an hour to use on sweeps. And it was all reliant on how I came off."
