Twelve years ago, Green Bay’s FOX affiliate denied Eli Manning a viewing of Seinfeld and yada, yada, yada… he went on to win the Super Bowl.
Fox 11 (WLUK-TV) is using Manning’s recent retirement to make amends with the Giants quarterback. A press release issued earlier this week declared that the station will air Manning’s favorite episode of the iconic sitcom Seinfeld on Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. local time.
Manning is a fan of the New York City-based show that aired on NBC from 1989 through 1998. The show, which centers on a fictionalized version of comedian and titular star Jerry Seinfeld (co-created by Larry David), continues to air in syndication on local stations across the country, including WPIX in the New York metropolitan area.
