Part 6/9:
Seinfeld's insights seem rooted in his own experiences as one of the most successful standup comedians of all time. He references Larry David, his long-time collaborator, who he notes benefits from a "grandfathered" position due to starting before these restrictive rules took hold.

In contrast, industry-approved scripts and shows often lack this honesty, resulting in content that feels bland or unoriginal.
