"You're Livin' In The Past, Man!"

This is Jon Favreau, creator of The Mandalorian, savior of Star Wars and the MVP at Disney right now.

You should know that back in 1994 he guest starred on Seinfeld. He appeared in the Season 5 episode The Fire, in which George saw a small fire in his girlfriend Robin's kitchen and knocked kids and an old lady out of the way in order to flee to safety.

Favreau played "Eric The Clown," who'd been hired by Robin for her son's birthday party. Eric got into a fight with George because he'd never heard of Bozo The Clown.

(George approaches the clown Robin hired and asks if he's heard of Bozo).
George: "Bozo?"
Eric: "No."
George: "B-O-Z-O?"
Eric: "Sorry, I..."
George: "You've never heard of Bozo the Clown?"
Eric: "No!"
George: "How could you not know who Bozo the Clown is?"
Eric: "I don't know, I just don't."
George: "How can you call yourself a clown and not know who Bozo is?"
Eric: "Hey, man, what are you hassling me for? This is just a gig, it's not my life. I don't know who Bozo is, what... is he a clown?"
George: "Is he a clown? What, are you kidding me!?"
Eric: "Well, what is he?"
George: "Yes, he's a clown!"
Eric: "Alright, so what's the big deal! There's millions of clowns!"
George: "Alright, just forget it."
Eric: "Me forget it? You should forget it! You're livin' in the past, man! You're hung up on some clown from the SIXTIES, man!"
George: "Very good, very good. Alright, go fold your little balloon animals, Eric. 'Eric!' Ha, ha! What kind of name is that for a clown, huh?
