- I had the rare opportunity to interview comedy and tv legend, Jerry Seinfeld, ahead of his first ever show in Singapore. I was honestly nervous meeting the icon, but his warmth, honesty and willingness to be vulnerable with me, made this one of the best interviews I've ever been a part of.
Tickets to Jerry Seinfeld's one night only show on June 14 at Singapore Indoor Stadium is on sale now at Ticketek. - Komedie
Thank you for the love, for finding this video and letting it into your life. I hope our conversation serves its role in taking you where you need to be.
For updates on future interviews, I’d really appreciate it if you can follow me on Instagram @JoshuaSimonXL
A fully subtitled, portrait format version of this interview has been uploaded there too!
Dear Joshua, This was a wonderful interview with insightful questions and fascinating answers. If you ever talk to Jerry Seinfeld, what he did for humanity could be an example such as myself. When I was busy getting up very early, going to very difficult places in Philadelphia, I feel for my students as I say that, I had this joy of watching Jerry Seinfeld 's television show. The time when the girlfriend broke up with him, and she was a dermatologist, and she had a specific reason and she tells him. He responds to himself by saying "Still got it!" That was some of the comfort I got, that he could laugh at himself for not working out for his girlfriends when I used to seriously bemoan why my boyfriends did not work out. This humor was profound while he had the superficial way of looking at his relationships, I found great comfort in that, that all would be OK. Thank you, Joshua, I look forward to your interviews, read an American newspaper. Sincerely, Melinda Aimee Roth
"If the work is unfulfilling, the money will be too."
That's gold, Jerry! Gold!
I loved that little slice of wisdom also! Jerry is not only a funny comedian, but a smart and thoughtful person as well.
I used to be poor. Now I'm very much not poor. Jerry is right, money doesn't make you happy. It solves a few problems but it doesn't make you happy.
Nice call back
No lies detected. Most sincere Jerry interview I've ever seen.
Jerry's voice is the voice of a new generation.
You were humble. You were yourself. And you gave us a different side of Jerry 👏🏼
These most recent interviews with Seinfeld have been getting better. It feels like he is mellowing out, and is more kind to those interviewing him
Yeah I’ve seen some of his interviews where he’d, take control away from the interviewer and do his own thing. I get it, that’s what an entertainer does. It’s scary on the receiving end though to attempt reclaiming that power. He did nothing of that sort here as you can see. He trusted me and I’m a nobody so that was… very kind of him
-@JoshuaSimonXL
@@THEJOSHUASIMONSHOW You did a great job, and especially with how short it was I learned so much. I also appreciate him being curious about you too!
Seinfeld gives back the same energy the interviewer brings. If they want to be shitty, he will be shitty right back. Deservedly in most cases. He also doesn't suffer fools gladly. Which is difficult when dealing with the media.
@@Pacman398 I'm just noticing he seems nicer than he used to be
He's always been nice. He does know how to dish back, if someone is nasty to him.
This is by far the nicest I've ever seen Jerry be in an interview. That last question was great btw.
This was not clickbait. Great interview
He didn't lie, it was the best Jerry Seinfeld Interview ever!
Hahaha I know it’s a bit of a reach with these titles. But I’m just hoping to hit some strong numbers so his team has me back for more interviews 🤣
- @JoshuaSimonXL
I was just about to write the same thing when I saw your comment. But I still feel I need to write my own comment. 😁
@@THEJOSHUASIMONSHOW I couldn't agree more. You really impressed me. A lot. I don't know if you're aware of this expression: you found your place, young man.
@@micheleparadis2808 thank you Michele, I had that reminder after as well, it felt as if, after a period of questioning my purpose, that yes I’m meant to do this.
@JoshuaSImonXL
@@MM-bh7me Yes, and I'm not joking. It is the most real I've seen Jerry in an interview
I'm glad I allowed this title to lure me in to watching this video. Both the interviewer and his subject were both thoughtful and interesting from beginning to end.
Alas! The title worked. I’m curious how you’d title it though, I definitely feel stuck when it comes to that aspect of promoting a video on CZcams. On my end my obligations were to play it on radio, but putting it here allows me to archive it for the future, open the audience up beyond my little radio show
With love
@JoshuaSimonXL
@@THEJOSHUASIMONSHOW I think you were wise to give your video such an eye-catching title. Anyone with even a passing interest in Jerry Seinfeld is going to be curious as to what makes for the "best" interview of him "ever", and then when they see that the length of the video isn't long, they'll likely be willing to spend a few minutes to find out what's so special about this particular interview. Once they begin watching, they're staying until the end.
I found it interesting to see a young person given a chance to have a conversation with an entertainment legend. You had worthwhile questions for him, and as usual Jerry was brilliant and honest.
Great interview. Probably the most genuine discussion I’ve seen with Seinfeld i.e. he opens up without doing any bits.
That was the most stealth introspective question I've heard in an interview.
Thank you my friend, for even watching.
- @JoshuaSimonXL
Kudos to Jerry for answering the same questions over and over again for years with such respect and passion.
that was truly amazing. Jerry really gave this kid his heart. Amazing questions. Keep going. Life is not always magic, but it can be.
Haha I’ll share with you this little bit. When the camera first came on, he exclaimed “is that a bed?!” Lol
The previous interviews I imagine were by journalists in tv studios
- @JoshuaSimonXL
I like what comedian DL Hughley said: “It took that show 5 years for it to stand on its own. If i could be in the 5th grade for 3 years I’d be the smartest kid in my class.” Ha! NBC gave the show many chances for it to find an audience.
Love love love when an interviewer can ask a question that the guest has never heard before! So good. Nice work Joshua.
This makes me miss the quality sitcoms I grew up watching. It’s so nice to see him as a genuine, kind, introspective guy. We need more men like Seinfeld.
"The money is a side effect ... not that there's anything wrong with that!" (What a wonderful interview. Joshua is a pleasure.)
I can just see Jerry trying to bring a box of Pop-Tarts through Singapore customs, then trying to explain what they are..
This was tremendous and I hope you get your flowers young man.
Just finished "Unfrosted". It was perfect for me (I'm 68)
Bravo!!!!
I feel the same way about meeting a comedian. They are incredibly smart people.
Great interview. Jerry always does a gracious interview, but you did a great job getting him to open up and be so very authentic. He even closed his eyes at one of your questions. So cool. Well done.
Great interview, Joshua-all those scripted interviews are so boring since you've heard those questions answered 1,000 times. It was nice hear a genuine conversation between humans. Thanks for sharing!
This really was the best Seinfeld interview I’ve seen. Nice one
I was going to say the same. 0 click bait
You did a great job here, Joshua. I've watched a lot of Jerry's interviews over the last 30 years and this was as good as any of them. Congrats, man!
Thank you for telling me this Declan. I always fear the worst but hope for the best with these interviews, you kinda never know how things will go and.. I really was blown away by how warm he was. He honestly didn’t need to say yes to my interview, but he wanted to do some press ahead of his first Singapore show so, a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to seize - also this was done at 6am in Singapore time hahaha
With love
@JoshuaSimonXL
@@THEJOSHUASIMONSHOW He's a great guy. I'm from New York but now I live in Penang, Malaysia and want to see him in Singapore but it's bad timing...and expensive haha
Jerry is such a humble guy. He is funny but an even better person.
very touching! i teared up at the end. I think people from the east have a general natural sincere respect (having gone to Asia many times). i think it was disarming Jerry in a way. brought a very kind deep part of him
I love how Jerry is now also a philosopher as well as a comic.
This was a winner! Excellent interview all around Joshua!!
loved it.real,genuine,normal.being normal.such a rare thing to encounter.
It's not clickbait! It really is very good.
I didn't realise Jerry was such a good bloke in real life.
Yeah hey? I genuinely wasn’t sure if I’d get the Jerry character that’s reported about on the news through the years, the actor, the celebrity, the icon… or like you said, the human. When someone, especially a billionaire, can just be like hey, this is me, I don’t need any of this, but let’s talk… it’s refreshing.
- @JoshuaSimonXL
Not only comedians are the smartest but also very brave. Great interview!!!
Best interview ever! Jerry is right about being “rich” is not about money. My dad lived his life and was happy until the day he died. He wasn’t wealthy. He had family and friends who lived him and he was very close to them and me. He taught me that very important lesson in life when he died.
What a blessing to have a father who lived his life like that, offering you a template to how to live yours. Thank you for sharing my friend.
@JoshuaSimonXL
Excellent question. From this and some other interviews i noticed Jerry is quite spiritual.
And wise. He has been meditating for his entire adult life, and attributes much of his success to it. A calm mind is not a little gift, Jerry is colorful but never seems to lose his cool. And his views on life and demeanor reflect a high degree of emotional intelligence, something humanity had none of during Covid.
good one Joshua. that is how you do an interview. Jerry is the best. I always learn.
my daughter and i have long philosophical conversations….so she’s further along than I was at her age, that pleases me.
I’m currently sorting through my parents things since moving them to an independent living facility….my mother documented everything. I have a mountain load of stuff in my garage getting shoved into big tidy bins since she’s still alive.
I tried once to do like her, keep a journal on vacation, I quit after the second day….i’ve always felt who is going yo want to study me, how it went on my vacations…I have studied living in the NOW, to hear Jerry say that makes me feel even better, I’m missing the chronicle my life chip.
You’re a beautiful resilient soul. Thank you for sharing this with all of us
- @JoshuaSimonXL
Your children are your legacy, Jerry!
You did a special interview Joshua - such insightful questions - moving interview and you were as intelligent as Jerry.
Damn I feel like the YT algorithm is about to kick in and this should be everywhere. Such a good and unexpected interview
Thank you for watching hey. I uploaded the video here more so to archive my work, I host a radio show in Singapore, so seeing this grow the way it has already beyond my audience, feels really nice.
with love
@JoshuaSimonXL
Love it Joshua, great interview, Blessings from Ecuador
Very sweet interview. The Seinfeld show was as great an example as I've ever seen of the collaborative efforts of brilliant, creative people and energy to bring authentic joy to people's lives. Even all the amazing advances of technology and the internet have not brought as much enduring happiness and light hearted, shared enjoyment to the world as that show. It is a link to life before the internet, when we all knew how to talk to each other, laugh, and enjoy life much better than we do now! 🙏
And I am still watching it ❤
Wow. I love Jerry. "If the work is unfulfilling, the money will be too." Great interview. Keep it up!
Great interview. Seinfeld has always been a class act.
Great interview! I was so impressed with all the questions!❤❤️
After so many years and interviews, this is the first time I feel I’ve actually met this extraordinary man. It’s a privilege to listen to your thought provoking questions both for his fascinating answers and to ask myself. Thank you. I wish you well.
I’m grateful to have been a catalyst to this experience for you 🙏🏽
@JoshuaSimonXL
Amazing interview, as always. Honestly, you're among the smartest celebrity interviewers I know!
Very kind of you. I hope I can keep doing these. It used to be in person. And in Singapore where I’m at, I do them for the radio show. After the pandemic they stopped flying us out for interviews. But when the opportunities come, I do my best
- @JoshuaSimonXL
One of the most interesting and beautiful done interview . Josh is so talented and honest in asking questions. I feel like this interview touched Jerry meaning it was a typical conversation but a young man who wanted to learn. Congrats and continued success 👊🏽👊🏽
Thank you hey, been at this for awhile now and there are long days when I don’t feel that way about myself and question my purpose, or if my good years are behind me. I really appreciate this.
@JoshuaSimonXL
You did a great job with this Joshua. Loved that last question!
Great questions. Both so humble 😊
Really great interview Joshua. You were being Genuine and that made it work.
I loved this ❤ it was a little different ..real
It really was the best Seinfeld interview ever! Thank you!
Pretty awesome that he gave you an interview on your up-and-coming channel. Hats off to you.
Wow this had 800 views yesterday good job dude this should have at least 50k at some point
Loved this video! Good for you Jerry!
Yes this was the best Jerry Seinfeld interview, feel I learnt more about JS from this interview than from all the others I have listened to, you are a fantastic interviewer, made my day.
We’re both JS, Jerry Seinfeld and Joshua Simon hehe! But hey thank you for finding my video and I’m grateful it played a role in lifting your spirits
With love
@JoshuaSimonXL
@@THEJOSHUASIMONSHOW Another JS here! Very much appreciate this segment. First time seeing your channel, your genuine kindness and sincerityis very obvious. There are not enough people like that in the world, the world needs more laughter, kindness, and less conflict! 🙏
@@johns7530 thank you John! The past 24 hours of this interview coming out has been pretty overwhelming. I was editing the footage for a week, I had a feeling it would resonate but gosh it’s already crossed 7k views, that’s 7k humans… wild
@JoshuaSimonXL
Solid human being...
That was one of the best interviews I’ve ever watched.
This was a beautiful interview.
I love that man. He makes the world a better place..
LOVE. AS USUAL, YOU KILL IT !
Thank you for following my work - @JoshuaSimonXL
Great interview - great questions!
such a great talk. thank you. ❤
I loved that interview! Well done, Joshua!
When Seinfeld was on TV live, it was my TV favorite show!
Nice work Joshua. It truly was one of The Best Jerry Seinfeld Interview Ever.
great interview Great question. you are good!
That actually was the best Jerry Seinfeld interview I’ve seen. Very insightful questions.
Thank you sir :) Have a good week ahead of you
@JoshuaSimonXL
LOVE IT! You did great!
That was wonderful!
Terrific interview Joshua. Jerry was as authentic here as I've ever seen him. In many of his interviews, he can often seem anything but, and I've been a huge fan for over 40 years.
Thank you for watching this video. It's been a couple of weeks now since I uploaded it and the comments from around the world have been very kind and overwhelming. I hope to keep doing this. Be safe my new friend.
@JoshuaSimonXL
Never watched Jerry.
But I love him now..luv his philosophy and thinking! Luv his interviews! He's a good person. Luv his logics! I would definitely go to see him now given the opportunity.
💯 immediately subscribed. GREAT interviewer! Keep it up!
I agree with the title!
Thanks Joshua. Also, Thanks Jerry. I love the way Jerry analyzes comedy. It's great that he has stayed consistent with TM and other good habits.
Home Run! I've watched a million Seinfeld interviews. This had a very unique, interesting perspective, great questions and answers. I liked Seinfeld's questions to the interviewer, too. Thanks!
Good interview….Jerry, if you’re going to Singapore, then come to Manila also! Filipinos love you!
That was a really good, heartwarming interview! I'm glad I watched that.
Dude you nailed it! Great job.
Best Seinfeld interview.
YES...so genuine & beautiful. So authentic.❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙
Great interview by this young man, I really enjoyed this interview. I think you're right. This is the best Jerry Seinfeld interview I've ever seen.
Wow!
For an " oner " question from an interviewer is an achievement on its own.
Thank you Sharon, I'm grateful you enjoyed the conversation.
@JoshuaSimonXL
@THEJOSHUASIMONSHOW Yes...I very much enjoyed it...and to come up with a new question surprising Jerry as I mentioned is applauded.
Seinfeld has become a better and better person as he grows older. He just gets better and better.
That really was a wonderful interview. Thank you.
I wanna be healthy in my 70's like Mr. Seinfield. I mean to have brain that is still sharp and good attitudes.
"All comedians want is sincerity" ❤
Beautiful interview! Thank you !!! 🙏💜✨
Wow - a sincere conversation. Refreshing ☺️
That actually was a good one, I wasn’t convinced at first
Good job getting Jerry!
Good interview.
Easy to watch.
The joke could be really funny.....AI doesn't have comedic timing...
Great interview Ryuichi Sakamoto vibes were perfect
Great job sir. Not easy interviewing someone who's been interviewed as much as he has, but you pulled it off brilliantly. Carry on.
Thank you. That was what intimidated me honestly. The fact that he's a legendary comedian, so his mind is moving at a different frequency than my ordinary brain, add to that he's been... famous, not tiktok famous but 90s real famous.... all that bundled up do not bode well with my anxious head. So yes all this... your comment, i'm grateful. You have a blessed week ahead of you.
@JoshuaSimonXL
@@THEJOSHUASIMONSHOWIf it's any consolation, you came across humble, thoughtful, and composed.
Fairly easy to tell when the subject is irritated or uninterested; he showed neither with you.
May you and yours be Blessed as well. 🙏
So glad the algorithm served this to me.
Like so many people are telling you, you did a great job. That was the coolest interview with Jerry Seinfeld I've ever seen. Liked and subscribed, hope this blows up huge for you!
i love this
Amazing stuff
Great interview. I loved the sincerity of both of you.
Great questions. I love this interview. Thank you.
Thank you! - @JoshuaSimonXL
