About the author
Jerry Seinfeld
16 books569 followersJerome 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.

Jerry Seinfeld can take the most mundane daily event and turn it into a very funny story. In this stand-up routine, he talks about a variety of topics with his characteristic laid-back style. The stories touch upon NYC cab drivers, air travel, Florida (its state flag should show a steering wheel, with a hat and a couple of knuckles), Halloween (taking candy from strangers, without anyone objecting), supermarkets, drugstores, doctors (wouldn’t it be nice to tell the doctor when he comes into the exam room, after making us wait butt-naked for a long time, that it isn’t a good time; he should go into his office and wait, until we call upon him), men & women, McDonalds (okay, we get it, you sold a lot of burgers!), Chinese people, Olympics, scuba diving, #1 fear, sky diving & the idiotic helmet, clothing, late TV, crooks, horses (would they try as hard in a race if they knew that breaking a leg would mean a shot in the head?), and bathroom.

This is a decent collection of standup by Jerry Seinfeld. Although Jerry is like an old friend, this recording is aged. It is a set recorded in 1988. Seinfeld is funny, but the jokes are over 30 years old. This is a good listen for what the listener is reminded of.
