Jerry Seinfeld continues to make the rounds to promote his new movie Unfrosted, where he took a not-so-subtle shot at Howard Stern.

The 70-year-old comedian appeared on Dana Carvey and David Spade’s Fly on the Wall podcast, where he wondered if Stern essentially invented podcasting.

‘Howard Stern invented this, right? But we’re better than him now. Howard is interesting. Howard is a great interviewer, but comedy chops, I mean, can we speak candidly?’ Seinfeld asked, as Spade said, ‘Sure,’ but Carvey said, ‘No!’

Carvey added, ‘Well, he got Robin, and Robin is a big part of how he’s funny,’ referring to Stern’s longtime co-host Robin Quivers.

‘Yeah, they’re all great but let’s face it, he’s been outflanked by some… and yourselves, I mean absolutely, this show, comedy podcasts? This is the best one on the air,’ he said.

Reps for Seinfeld issued a statement to DailyMail.com, where he admitted, ‘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.’

‘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,’ Seinfeld concluded.

Seinfeld added, ‘Because you guys play nice together, it’s smooth, you’re not jumping on each other, which is annoying to listen to.’

The comedian also mused of the comedian podcast boom, ‘Who knew there was a market? Who knew people wanted to get to know us? Who gets the credit for figuring it out?’

He also went on to call out comedians who go deep into their personal lives instead of making people laugh.

‘Jesus Christ, make us laugh, how interesting do you think you are? You’re not that interesting, okay? You’re not. When you’re funny, you’re worth it. This is my line, which you know me, you know me, no but you know that I draw that line. If you’re not that funny, we’re not that interested in you.”

Seinfeld had been a frequent guest on Howard Stern’s radio show in the 90s, but he faced criticism in 1993, when the comedian, then 38, started dating 17-year-old Shoshanna Lonstein.

Stern poked fun at the relationship, stating, ‘So, you sit in Central Park and have a candy bar on a string and pull it when the girls come?’

Seinfeld insisted, ‘She’s not 17, definitely not,’ with the comedian reportedly meeting her just a month before she turned 18.’

A reported feud ensued, with Stern even bashing Seinfeld in a song about his girlfriend being ’17 with double D’s’ in an undated song that recently surfaced on Reddit.

They would ultimately reconcile at some point, with Stern appearing on Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and Seinfeld returning to the Stern show in the 2010s.

Seinfeld also recently made headlines when he revealed he had considered casting three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis in the film, who has been retired since 2017.

‘I was going to ask Daniel Day-Lewis. I wanted him to play – we have a sugar drug lord who controls all of the world’s sugar, his name is El Sucre,’ Seinfeld explained.

‘I wanted Daniel Day-Lewis to play it like Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood. I wanted him to do that, but I never called him,’ Seinfeld admitted.
