Jerry Seinfeld reveals his greatest 'regret' about his hit sitcom

"I had an episode all ready to go that we were going to do entirely, secretly, in claymation," Seinfeld said, to resounding gasps from the audience. "I had the studio ready, and the figures ready, and it was all good to go."
But Seinfeld was dissuaded from the idea when he learned that Tim Allen had already done a claymation episode on ABC's "Home Improvement."
"I got scared off," Seinfeld said. "I thought, I don't want people to say I'm imitating Tim Allen. And I canceled it. I realize now that was a huge mistake. You know, we had Kramer taking a pencil and sticking it in his eye. And we were going to shoot fake promos, and everybody was going to think a regular episode was going to come on, and it was going to be all claymation. And so, that was a huge mistake. So yeah, that's what I regret."
