Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJerry used many of his jokes from past performances for this film.
- GoofsWhile joking about landing at LaGuardia Airport, he mentioned having to go through customs. As a native New Yorker, he should know LaGuardia is not an international airport in the sense there is no U.S. Customs office there. (They DO land international flights there, mostly from Canada, but those passengers are pre-cleared before boarding the planes.)
- Quotes
Jerry Seinfeld: I was SO nervous that night, because I was showing them this whole side of myself. It was like my little gay closet moment, ya know, where I had to say, "Mom, dad, I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm a funny person. And, uh, I don't wanna be ashamed of it any more, and I wanna lead a funny life style, now. I wanna be with other funny people, I wanna have breakfast at two in the afternoon."
Jerry Seinfeld: And the other thing was meeting girls - in the bar, out there. That was a new thing, to, because comedians sometimes have a little difficulty in normal social situations. I can do THIS, for some reason. And I always felt comfortable doing what I'm doing right now. I can talk to all of YOU, but I can't talk to ANY of you.

And then there is the voice thing. I don't know what happened to him, but at some time he would just raise his voice a little bit and it would come out all shrill and broken. In this show he managed to keep it under control, but not all the time.
Bottom line: I always enjoy Seinfeld, but I expected some more depth in something that was about his personal life and was marketed as "before Seinfeld". I understand he took all the good bits and put them in the TV show and he couldn't have made another show just with the bad material, but still, I wanted to see him write again, not just reminisce about the good jokes he thought of when he was a kid. Maybe next time.
