On October 12, comedian Colin Quinn and newly minted Broadway director Jerry Seinfeld sat down to discuss Quinn’s latest one-man show, Long Story Short, which begins performances on October 22 at the Helen Hayes Theatre.

Oh yeah, and Anderson Cooper admitted to starring as Sholom Aleichem in a high school play. Click through for a look at this chat between comedy legends!
