About the author

Jerome Allen "Jerry" Seinfeld (born April 29, 1954) is an American comedian, actor and writer, whose style is often described as observational comedy. He is best known for playing a semi-fictional version of himself in the situation comedy, Seinfeld, (1989-1998), which he co-created, helped write and, in the show's final two seasons, executive produced. In his first major foray back into the media since the finale of Seinfeld, he co-wrote and co-produced the film Bee Movie, also dubbing the title role of Barry B. Benson. In February 2009, it was announced that Jerry Seinfeld will be participating in a reality TV series tentatively called Marriage Ref on NBC. Jerry is rumored to work behind the scenes, mainly operating as creator and executive producer, but may also make cameo appearances. Jerry is also going to be on an episode of the Starz Original series, Head Case. In March 2009, it was announced that Jerry and the entire cast of Seinfeld will be appearing on Larry David's HBO original series Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Seinfeld is known for his incredibly dedicated and devoted work ethic. He was ranked #12 in Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.

Seinfeld is also a bestselling author, most notably for his book Seinlanguage. Released in 1993, the book went on to become a number one New York Times bestseller. The book, written as his television show was first rising in popularity, is primarily an adaptation of the comedian's standup material. The title comes from an article in Entertainment Weekly listing the numerous catch-phrases the show was responsible for.

In 2003, he wrote a children's book titled Halloween. The book was illustrated by James Bennett. There are also several books about both the sitcom and Seinfeld himself, though many of them are not written by Seinfeld.

Seinfeld wrote the forewords to Ted L. Nancy's Letters from a Nut series of books and Ed Broth's Stories from a Moron. Both authors were rumored to be pseudonyms for Seinfeld or a friend of his. Neither Nancy nor Broth have been seen publicly, although Seinfeld is heavily involved in pitching their books for television.

In promoting Broth's book, Seinfeld hosted a toast in the author's honor. Broth did not attend.

Seinfeld also wrote the foreword to the Peanut Butter & Co. Cookbook, from his favorite sandwich shop in New York City.

[Realini Ionescu · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Seinfeld Scripts by Jerry Seinfeld – that was one of the best comedy series ever, they are still airing on some channels here, and you can probably find them on demand on HBO Max or some other places – by the way, or now for something completely different - there are thousands on notes on films from The New York Times’ Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made and other sites on my blog https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/20... and YouTube channel, where my macaws are outstanding


9 out of 10

I have been watching Seinfeld for a few times, some episodes may have been on Television three times, and although there is something about the actor and creator that is not exactly charming, the show was such a massive success https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/20...

Some things may apply to my present state- we were speaking about the Uncle Leo episode, where he takes a book from the shop and he does not pay for it – at least that is how I remember it – and then Jerry does something about it, tells the shop assistant, and they catch the poor man, and he has this lesson…
Nevertheless, Uncle Leo protests – ‘I am an old man’ seemingly using the excuse that he had not known what he had been doing, and indeed, I am sixty-two now and find that I forget quite a number of things, though I still know I can quote Andrei Plesu https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/20...

He is maybe our smartest luminary, and he was talking about old age, how we should not go on uninvited and tell stories about the past, but we can also benefit from the fact that after reaching a threshold, we should not be so worried about a spot on the tie, things like that, I do not know about Uncle Leo though, if he was right or wrong
A sense of humor is included in the ‘transcendence’ category by Martin Seligman, co -founder of Positive Psychology https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/20... he has identified groups of character strengths and having a sense of humor is essential, especially in the world of today

In Is This Anything – and probably elsewhere – Jerry Seinfeld makes a very good point when he talks about Golf and translates it to Go Out Leave Family and it reminded me of a cartoon, in which this man thinks about golf when he is at work, on the course, he thinks about sex, and while having sex he thinks about work
Carpe Diem, the cartoon was used in a marvelous book by Sonja Lyubomirsky https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/20... and we have to find a balance, The Golden Mean explained by Aristotle and others, live in the present, without disregarding the future…

While also reminiscing, enjoying mirthful episodes from the past – humor is also an element of Positivity, Barbara Fredrikson https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/20... the ultimate expert on this subject has written about ten ingredients awe, interest, inspiration, hope, pride, serenity, joy, gratitude, love and humor
