‘Seinfeld’ reunion? Julia Louis-Dreyfus doesn’t know ‘what the hell’ Jerry Seinfeld is talking about

Jerry Seinfeld might have hinted at a “Seinfeld” reunion of sorts during a recent stand-up show — but Julia Louis-Dreyfus knows nothing about it.

“Yeah, I just saw [that news] last night,” Louis-Dreyfus told The Guardian. “And I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about.”

Earlier this month, Seinfeld, 69, spoke about the NBC comedy while performing to a Boston audience.

“Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending [of the show],” the comedian said in a clip posted to Instagram. “But I can’t really tell it, because it is a secret.”

“Here’s what I’ll tell you. OK? But you can’t tell anybody,” he went on. “Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending.”

Seinfeld later added that it “hasn’t happened yet,” but “just what you are thinking about, Larry and I have also been thinking about it. So you’ll see.”

“Seinfeld” debuted in 1989 and ran for nine seasons until its June 1998 finale.

Seinfeld and the “Veep” alum played Jerry and Elaine Benes, respectively, and starred alongside Jason Alexander (George Costanza) and Michael Richards (Kramer).

Louis-Dreyfus recently opened up about the show’s continued success and legacy.

“There was a real grief period when the show ended that was real and felt. Because we all loved each other so much,” the actress said.

“There was a real grief period when the show ended that was real and felt. Because we all loved each other so much,” she told People. “I do very much remember wanting and thinking that I needed to keep working. I wanted to keep working. I wanted to keep doing this thing called acting. I wanted to keep pursuing it, which I’ve been able to do, which is great.”

She continued: “I think it’s incredibly cool that it continues to have life. I’m not surprised, because it’s funny, and it stands the test of time.”
