00:00If you're a celebrity who dreams of being on South Park, you'd better have a sense
00:03of humility that's much higher than most A-listers.
00:06No comedy series currently on television has less patience for celebrity worship than Trey
00:10Parker and Matt Stone's Masterpiece.
00:12And even when they do get a VIP voice actor to crack a couple jokes in an episode, it's
00:16never a part that most movie stars are dying to play.
00:19Like when they made George Clooney voice Sparky the gay dog in Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat
00:22Ride.
00:30And so, though many superstars have instructed their agents to get them an offer on South
00:34Park in the last 27 years, few have humbled themselves enough to actually accept the part
00:38that Parker and Stone have in mind.
00:40Trey Parker and Matt Stone offered to let Seinfeld play the role of Turkey No. 2 in
00:44the episode Starvin' Marvin.
00:46With Seinfeld still putting out new episodes and South Park just getting started, Seinfeld
00:50declined.
00:51In fact, Seinfeld's representative was reportedly a bit put off by the offer.
