Seinfeld said: "You think I got canceled? Are you under the impression I got canceled? I thought this was pretty well documented."

King responded: "Have I hurt you, Jerry?"

Seinfeld then replied: "I was the number one show on television, Larry. Do you know who I am? 75 million views on the last episode."

Before the interview went to a commercial break, the comedian added: "There's a big difference between being canceled and number one. Can we get a resume in here for me so Larry can have a do-over?"

Seinfeld's tweet was one of the many celebrity tributes made to King last night.

Oprah Winfrey, Piers Morgan, and Former President Bill Clinton also shared their memories of the late talk show host.
