Schaffer concluded by highlighting the unique privilege of being able to create such a long-lasting comedic legacy.
"It was just incredible, by the way, getting to bring all that full-circle and then getting to do it one last time in the season finale. As Jerry [Seinfeld] said, it was a joke 26 years in the making. It's neat that you can stick around long enough to do that."
David then shared a message to his critics. "F--- you!" he quipped. "You didn't like the first one? F--- you!"
