He recalls his first date with his wife Jessica Seinfeld when she attended the filming of his HBO special, and explains the relationship between them works because of their mutual crankiness.

    Jerry sounds very similar to my ex boyfriend whom I loved very much. He was a New Yorker, Irish, cranky, well educated and didn’t feel like he needed anyone and marriage wasn’t his thing. I’m cranky but I don’t really like to show it because I empathize with other people. The way I show that I’m not in the mood is to stop talking and just do my thing. If you insist on being in my face then there’s going to be a problem.

    He stole that girl from another man. The girl before that was a large breasted 19 year old Jewish girl and he was 38.

      It's icky all around. Jerry is funny, but not a nice person -- and neither is his wife.

      You think her being 19 was a problem, lol? Why exactly? And what does her cup size have to do with it? So if she was a flat chested 19 year old, would that be OK?
      You also can't steal anyone or break up a marriage. If she was open to someone new the marriage was long dead. Grow up.

    Marriage fails everywhere. Don't try to set that narrative about comedians. What if I were to say people like you are liars? You wouldn't like that very much would you? I wouldn't enjoy calling you that either. I'm not like you Americans. I'm a grown up.

    Graham,your feet is inappropriately extending to your guest. This is not the first time you do this. Why ? Projecting power or dominance? Come on.

    Why Jerry Seinfeld would be nothing without Larry David

    • @Kinesiology411
      @Kinesiology411 Před měsícem

      False. Larry would still be doing open mic nights and working in retail without Jerry. Jerry was a huge success before the show. In the world of standup, he was already the guy they all wanted to be.
