On "Seinfeld", what is the first talk show Kramer goes on during his book tour?

On Seinfeld, Kramer’s first talk-show appearance during his coffee-table book tour is on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. He announces the appearance in “The Opposite,” the season-five episode centered on the characters making choices that reverse their usual habits.

Kramer’s book, Coffee Table Book, is a deliberately absurd project about coffee tables. He explains that his first stop on the promotional tour will be the daytime program hosted by Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford. The appearance turns the fictional book into a surprisingly successful media event.

The show later depicts Kramer on the program, where he demonstrates the book and discusses coffee tables with Regis and Kathie Lee. The segment is one of the episode’s comic payoffs and helps establish how Kramer’s eccentric ideas can unexpectedly become mainstream successes.

The title is sometimes written with an exclamation mark—Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee—and the hosts’ names are occasionally misspelled in episode transcripts. Those variations refer to the same talk show.
