Paul Shaffer on Seinfeld?

I’ve been considering a purchase of Paul Shaffer’s new autobiography, We’ll Be Here for the Rest of Our Lives: A Swingin’ Show-Biz Saga.

Now I may just have to pick it up.

Shaffer has been at the flashpoint of some of the great show biz moments of my life:  the birth of SNL, SCTV, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Late Night and the Late Show with David Letterman, Avengers #239.

Through it all he has remained pretty nonplussed.

Now,  Rolling Stone reveals that Jerry Seinfeld left Shaffer a messsage offering him the role of…

 George Costanza on Seinfeld.

Shaffer didn’t return the call.

Try to wrap your shiny head around that one kids.
