Meanwhile, Mavis seemed to be in great spirits on the red carpet, laughing at her husband's jokes as crashed Seinfeld's interview with The Hollywood Reporter, above.
The couple's appearance comes just weeks after the former late-night host was granted conservatorship of his and Mavis' joint estate amid her battle with dementia.
A little over a week before he was granted the conservatorship, Mavis' lawyer, shared details about the severity of Mavis' condition, revealing that she sometimes doesn't recognize Jay or remember her birthday, as shown in court docs obtained by TMZ.
A neurologist also discussed Mavis' condition, noting that she has "advanced dementia," and often gets disoriented. The doctor also said she thinks about her late parents whom she lost over two decades ago.
According to ET, the neurologist, Dr. Hart Cohen, told Mavis' lawyer that Jay "loves his wife very much" and "treats her like gold."
Jay filed for the conservatorship so his wife would be financially protected in case he dies before she does.
"Estate planning is something that most everyone needs, but by the time you need it, if you don't have it, it is too late to get it," his lawyer said in the docs, per TMZ. "This Petition is designed to give Mavis that protection with the protection of Court supervision."
