Jerry Seinfeld joined Gary Cohen, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez in the SNY broadcast booth on Tuesday night for a few innings.
The comedian was amused by Matt Harvey’s decision to hold off on Tommy John surgery after visiting Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Fla.
“I want to know why these doctors are getting billing now. Who the hell is this guy? He’s a big star. Dr. Andrews. Why do I have to hear about him for? Do we get free treatment out of this guy for all these plugs? ‘I’m Dr. Andrews. I talked to Matt Harvey. Didn’t do a damn thing. Did you hear me on the broadcast? They said my name four times. I’m Dr. Andrews.’ ”
Seinfeld also reminisced about the 1993 “Seinfeld” episode in which Hernandez dated Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus).
“I really can remember that like it was yesterday, Keith. You and her in that car, and you having to do that make-out scene,” Seinfeld said.
“Eight takes,” Hernandez said, laughing.
“I really was so excited when you walked on that set,” Seinfeld told Hernandez. ”We weren’t a hit show at that time. It was ’93; the show didn’t really take off till ’94. It was the biggest thrill we had had up to that time.”
