Seinfeld promptly turned the “Tik Tok” singer with a simple, “no thanks,” after three attempts, she jumped away and Seinfeld claimed, “I don’t know who that was.” When told who he’d just encountered, Seinfeld said “well, I wish her the best.” Seinfeld was headlining the event along with Hugh Jackman, Jay Leno and Margaret Cho.
