Introducing Jerry Seinfeld Dot Com

"When I was ten years old, I started watching stand up comedians on TV. I fell in love with them and I'm just as fascinated with stand up comedy today. When I started doing TV, I saved every appearance on every show I did.

I thought it might be fun to go through all of it and pick out three bits each day that still amuse me for some reason or another. I've also included stuff I'm doing now, and I'll be adding new stuff as I go.

Somewhere out there are ten year olds just waiting to get hooked on this strange pursuit. This is for them. I'm just hoping somehow it will keep this silliness going."

--JS

Yep, that's right! Jerry Seinfeld has launched his own website, which will contain a ton of all the material he's ever done. Not only will we now get to go see some of his great stuff from when he primarily did stand-up, but he's making it all the more easy for us - this is his personal library! As a special note, it remains to be seen whether or not we'll see any "Seinfeld" references at Jerry Seinfeld Dot Com, but for now he says, "that stuff is being reserved for another special Web project."

Quoting a recent N.Y. Times article: "I really thought, ‘Where’s my stuff going to be when I’m dead?’ Is it just gone for all time? Who could sift through it? I thought, I should filter this out and be the judge of what I thought was good."

"...[E]ach day the Web page will offer only three of these videos, chosen by Mr. Seinfeld, a strategy that reflects his theories about online content as well as his concerns about what he called 'portion control.' "

"I don’t want everything, Burger King now has a burger where you decide how many patties. How disgusting is that? That’s the problem right there. That’s the cultural moment that I am repudiating here."

My favorite for today was "The chicks and the checks" - from Letterman, 1989.

Two Life Forms

"You're an alien. You see two life forms. One of them's making a poop, and the other one's carrying it for them..

Who would you think is in charge?" - Jerry Seinfeld

The Analogy

(Puddy walks in)

Jerry: Hey, look whose here - Puddy.

Elaine: My Puddy? But we broke up.

Jerry: And yet he continues to live.

(Puddy walks over to the table)

Puddy: Hey Benes, How are you?

Elaine: I’m doing great.

Puddy: Great. (pauses) See ya.

Jerry: Well, that’s it. You two are back together.

Elaine: What?

Jerry: The bump into. The bump into always leads to the backslide.

Elaine: David and I will not be getting back together.

Jerry: Elaine, breaking up is like knocking over a coke machine. You can’t do it in one push, you got to rock it back and forth a few times, and then it goes over.

George: That’s beautiful.

Steinbrenner Relished Wacky Depiction On Seinfeld

Even if you never watched a baseball game in your life, there was a pretty good chance you were well acquainted with George Steinbrenner, the 80-year-old New York Yankees owner who died on Tuesday.

Steinbrenner -- or at least a bumbling version of the baseball baron -- appeared on 14 episodes of "Seinfeld" as the boss of George Costanza

(Jason Alexander), the assistant to the team's traveling secretary.

The Steinbrenner double, always with his back to the camera and voiced by series co-creator Larry David -- who had fantasized as a kid about working for the Yankees -- was depicted as a nitwit with a fondness for calzones, Pat Benatar and Cuban cigar wrappers.

"(David) really created this very caricature, this very mercurial personality who's just completely all over the place and neurotic," star and co-creator Jerry Seinfeld later recalled.

In one episode, the Steinbrenner character opines that "(Yankees icon) Babe Ruth was nothing more than a fat old man with little-girl legs."

He then reveals that he is wearing Lou Gehrig's baseball pants, but takes them off after worrying that he could catch the neurological disease that killed the baseball legend. "I'm too important to this team," he says. "Big Stein can't be flopping and twitching."

"If you can't laugh at yourself, then you're not much of a person," Steinbrenner told Entertainment Weekly in 1997. "It also pleases my grandchildren."

Seinfeld and David originally asked Steinbrenner to appear as himself, but he turned them down, wrongly thinking that the George character was a spoof on him. He eventually gave them the green light to use a double.

"I guess they did a pretty accurate job," he later recalled. "Nobody likes to admit they're quite like that, but I guess I was."

Alas, Steinbrenner struck out with his one chance to play himself on the show. At Seinfeld's request, he stopped by the Los Angeles set in 1996 to appear in the final episode of the seventh season -- the one where George's fiancee dies from licking toxic envelopes.

Steinbrenner's character offered to accompany Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) to the wedding as long as she lost a little weight. But the episode was too long -- a common problem on "Seinfeld" -- and it was cut for time. David was forced to call his idol to deliver the bad news.

Steinbrenner was actually pleased, telling Entertainment Weekly that he disapproved of the fiancee's death scene. "I felt it was sick," he said.

Brand New Seinfeld

Lady Gaga aparently went to two consecutive baseball games recently. One Yankees, one Mets. You probably saw the news report that she was scantily clad at both, and was even recorded giving the camera "double middle fingers" at one.

And soon after, Jerry Seinfeld was asked about it.

This is what transpired.


~~Commercial~~

But only then did I realize that this was already happening. "Seinfeld reunites with Hernandez on air tonight". So yeah, check that out.

This is incredible timing. Is it not? Jerry is one of the best. His show was top-5 of all-time. All of this isn't just a coincidence!

In case you're still here instead of there:

Lifelong New York Mets’ fan Jerry Seinfeld will call three innings of the Mets-Detroit Tigers game tonight on SNY alongside a person who made one of the most memorable cameos ever on his eponymous NBC comedy.

Keith Hernandez, the former Met who now does color on the Mets’ TV broadcasts, appeared in the 1992 “Seinfeld” episode “The Boyfriend.”

No word if Hernandez will have any “magic loogie” with him, or the whereabouts of second-spitter.

~See~

And then I come upon this - OMG

"Seinfeld, Hernandez to team up in booth" 6/22/2010 - 8:52 CT

It will be Seinfeld's first visit to the SNY booth and the first time he and Hernandez discuss the episode in the 18 years since it was filmed. The two have been friendly ever since meeting on the set, at which point Hernandez was the comedian's favorite player. During his radio appearance with Somers, Seinfeld said he wasn't sure if he'd be doing more play-by-play or analysis during his time in the booth. He wasn't intimidated by either.

Joked Seinfeld: "How hard is it to say, 'There's a hit'?"

Lady Gaga will be at Madison Square Garden again on July 6th!

And 7th... And 8th...

12 Comic Actors’ Stand-Up From Way Back When

Before they got their big breaks in various movies and TV shows, many of today’s best comedy actors were just regular guys doing the stand-up circuit, trying to get noticed like everyone else.

I’ve searched around the internet to find some early stand-up performances from some of today’s most successful comic actors before they hit it big. Some are funny back then, some definitely needed some time to evolve.

Check the performances out below:

Jim Carrey on Johnny Carson
