well shit - i loved that show, and have always thought it was sad that the chemistry of that type of show is so rarely recreated. the audacity of the situations they created, the way the jokes were completely circular within the episodes, and sometimes lingering for several episodes or seasons, was fucking fantastic. i agree with the statement that seinfeld's acting wasn't what carried it, or really any individual contribution. the way the show was written, i thought, was brilliant, but more importantly was the particular chemistry those actors had at that particular time. i thought they worked amazingly well together; it's unfortunate that the last episode was what it was, because i thought it sucked.
as for this clip, it's impossible for me to say anything with a 45 second clip taken out of an entire interview, without context, etc. my guess is that seinfeld was fucking around with larry king, but who knows? sometimes it's hard to be the primadonna one day, and 'the guy who used to have that show' the next. i also have never enjoyed seinfeld's standup. i'll take stanhope or izzard any day.
edit: switched thought train in midsentence.
