The interviewer deserves an "A+" for her smooth, seamless guiding of her guest from theme to theme in a relaxed, natural, genuine way, keeping focus on him but sharing her very real opinions.
are you sarcastic? otherwise its a bizar comment. take it easy, its just a random interview, you want to watch because he's jerry seinfeld. some open doors questions and some personal ones....
I've seen hundreds of interviews with Jerry over the years starting with the Tonight Show over 40 years ago, and this is the first time I've seen him get emotional. Maybe that's why that moment landed harder. Thank you for sharing this conversation with us!
I just want to comment before the trolls show up. This was such a great conversation to wake up to. It could've been 3 hours long and I would've watched every minute of it.
Just a message to people reading this. People who disagree with you aren't trolls and people are free to disagree. Just as you aren't a troll for disagreeing with a media personality, people aren't trolls for disagreeing with bari weis. Echo chambers are boring and lame.
"Are you thinking of someone in particular?" - was the most meaningful and thoughtful question to ask/say in that moment. I ran through every possible thing that people say in these moments, and not one matched the depth. This question just revealed Bari's brilliance to me. ❤❤
@@fabjtown1 No one would call this a hard hitting interview, but that doesn't mean she's terrible. Then again, Jerry probably wouldn't sit for a hard hitting interview. I get the impression he doesn't handle criticism very well. I don't believe him when he says he looks forward to reading the negative reviews. He only wants to read the worst ones? Because he thinks they're hilarious? Because he doesn't care about reviews? C'mon.
hey look barri has got another lame boring curated scam website university podcast show that nobody wanted, when will these people find the self-awareness to just go away?
I dont know why, but I cried when I heard this podcast. I never cry. I think I needed to hear that comedy is still here for us. Jerry is a gift to the sane in an increasingly insane world!
I ended the episode with tears in my eyes and it was a total surprise. I’m still not sure what it means, but I think it has to do with what Jerry said about comedians seeing through the veneer and how politics is all bullshit. It seems like everything is political these days and by extension, that means everything is bullshit then and it’s so depressing and demoralizing to exist in that.
Except he is railing on about wokeness like every other male comedian over 40, while simultaneously creating literally the worst comedy movie of the past 30 years. The guy who is mad that politics is everything these days is going around giving completely unfunny interviews about wokeness and masculinity and other clearly political bullshit, because his comedy isn’t hitting like it did in the 90s. A Pop Tarts movie is like doing a movie about airline peanuts in 2024. Wildly out of touch. This guy brought you to tears? 😂
Agreed. Handled so kindly and gracefully. Bless you both for this wonderful, enlightening interview. Every comic - and human being - can learn from these brilliant folks.
@@SoFloCo-ne4rk I have never seen Seinfeld like that. Men often glance around when they get emotional, especially when they don't normally express their emotions.
I love the way you handled the moment in the interview when Jerry teared up and couldn't say a word about his trip to Israel. That brief silence and the look on his face spoke volumes. And you graciously moved on from there... Perfect.
Yes! Well said. She didn’t milk it and exploit it like Barbara Walters might have. She just let it exist, honored it, and him, and then moved on. Such a great interview.
I totally relate to Jerry. I feel like I'm cosplaying as a human whenever necessary just to be able to survive and get what needs to be done. I also prefer delegating "social tasks" to friends and loved ones to do the talking and schmoozing for me in social settings. Otherwise, I prefer alone time.
Beautiful interview. I’ve always been a fan of Jerry and unlike many famous jewish comedians and actors he stood by Israel and didn’t care about what the public said. Thank you Jerry for doing the right thing❤
I don't think there's a better interviewer on the planet than Bari Weiss- she's so prepared, yet sounds so spontaneous. She somehow articulates the questions I wish I knew I wanted to ask. I have heard & seen so many interviews with Jerry Seinfeld this past month and this one is definitely the best and has the most depth.
Such an amazing interview with one of the greatest comedians of all time. I wanted to cry when he got emotional about Israel - I’ve never seen Jerry Seinfeld like that. He’s such a treasure. Thank you for sharing this conversation!
Jerry Seinfeld is the GOAT of comedy, and also a very wise man with a great perspective on life and death. Bari Weiss did a fabulous job with the interview.
Jerry always seems intensely private, and well equipped to handle any question thrown his way. The interview was worthwhile for that one heart-felt teary pause.
Nothing I've ever seen has made me appreciate the skill involved in interviewing like this did. Bari and Jerry, the sum was more than its parts. Really excellent.
I have never liked Jerry more. Actually.....this made him likable to me. Great interview and it brought out his humanity which I so loved seeing. I cried right along with him. 10/10 interview
@@johndoe-vc1we He met with the parents of some of the hostages and met survivors of the terror attack who also did a tour in the Kibutss that the massacare happened in. I suppose he thought about the people he met or the things he saw
@johndoe-vc1we While I can't say what was on his mind, I can say that almost any jew certainly of that age still has the holocaust and the thought of others wanting to wipe jews out fresh in his mind. Seeing it the aftermath of it actually happening and knowing that the people who stud would have done the same to you, your family, your kids, if they only had the chance, can hit hard. I would guess that that's also a part of it.
My gosh, Bari is such a smart and nuanced interviewer and the genius of it is that she still manages to put her interviewee (Jerry, in this case) at complete ease
He did get emotional one time on "Comedians in Cars" when talking about the late Garry Shandling, who was a very good friend of his. But usually, yes, I think Jerry wants people to think he is a sociopathic robot who cares ONLY about being funny and about nothing or nobody else. But clearly that isn't true.
I don't think she went deep into his soul as you say but rather their souls felt comfortable expressing themselves in each other's company. Two brilliant Jews resonating harmoniously.
It´s Bizarro Jerry! "He's weak, he's frightened, and he can't fly. Up is down, down is up, he says hello when he leaves, goodbye when he arrives..." What a disappointment! His position on this , just seems that 2024 Seinfeld lives in the backwards Bizarro world. I can't watch that show anymore... Seinfeld was one of my favorite shows of all time...Just sad
For me, on my first visit to this channel, I was struck by the incredible maturity, intelligence, and empathy Bari has. She is clearly "that" person in her personal life and we are fortunate to be able to see her stunning interview skills. It feels nothing like a traditional interview and it is the only time in my life I have seen Jerry so emotional. Well done.
I know that she is a millennial but as a professional journalist/interviewer etc who is now 40 years old PLEASE get rid of the word "like" in every sentence. And no, hardly the top 10 of anything --yet.
@@JMBvideo The pain of Palastinians is not the fault of Israel, same as the pain of Iraq , Yemen, Syria and the people of Iran. It's all the fault of the islamic region that brainwashed and colonized lands to use it's people as pawns in their sick pursuit of Islamic world dominion , starting with the middle east
The key to a great life is comedy. Find a spouse, friend, whatever, that MAKES YOU LAUGH. You can’t buy it, it’s something everyone can consume, create. Like coffee, it’s a huge chunk of the “joie de vivre”. People who laugh and can make others laugh aren’t too full of themselves. What a great interview!!
"There is no writer's block. There is only laziness and fear - the fear of maybe realizing that you're actually mediocre at this, and you're going to have to work hard to make it good." (something like that!) I'll always look forward to a Jerry interview, he always has insightful things to say. He's a real philosopher.
22:41 as a young Jewish girl growing up in Australia in the 90's I used to watch seinfeld all the time, it was definitely a connection for me. There was practically no Jewish community so Seinfeld, Roseanne and the Nanny felt like family 😅
Having watched this again, I have to say that this is a master class in interviewing by Bari. She's brilliant ---she knows how to use silence, her questions are wonderfully structured, and she knows just when to ask it. I know alot of work went into creating this. Truly magnificent conversation.
This was an excellent interview Bari! Honestly, even though I love Jerry's stand up, I wasn't the biggest fan of the show or how he presented himself in interviews. I think this is the first time we've pierced through the veil into his humanity. Now I get him...and I like him. Thank you both for that.
Two of my favorite people in the world. I have always dreamt of bumping into Jerry Seinfeld in Manhattan and saying “Thank you for the joy you bring to me and millions more. We are forever indebted to you” . My dream will remain just that; a dream. Now that I made Aliya, the chances have decreased significantly. Bari, thank you for realizing who you are and what your potential is. You are a gift to the world. How sad would it have been if you had “hid yourself” by choosing a career that would lead you to anonymity. I could listen to you for hours and hours. What a pleasure.
I used to live in Los Angeles, and bumped into stars all the time. Some are nice, some are putzes. But, Henry Winkler is the nicest man to walk the earth. I ran into him several times, and he was always gracious and kind. I belonged to the same shul, when he brought his little daughter in, for her naming. I've never seen anyone so happy and proud. Seinfeld gives off a similar vibe, warmth and humor. And, unless you're in the periphery, you might run into him someday, בארץ.
This is a brilliant conversation between an absolutely fantastic comedian who understands our society and its challenges better than our leaders and a great journalist who figured out that our society needs more than what our current media culture offers --- honesty, objectivity, and smart analysis as well as human conversations. Someone already said it but these two are national gems. Thank God for them.
He’s bang on about New Yorkers being funny…..certainly different. On one trip years ago I saw Mr. Spoons on Park Avenue; a guy in a rabbit suit playing the spoons. Ok, then at a crosswalk, I watched an old man with a cane slowly shuffling across when the light changed. He was mid way across and cars/drivers just laid on the horn at him. He stopped in front of a Yellow Cab who was honking; whacked the hood of the car with his cane and continued his shuffle across the street. And entering the underground parking at old Yankee Stadium; the attendant dancing to rap his music on the largest boom box I have ever seen. I turned to my friend and said “Welcome to New York”. It was fabulous……and memorable! I just gotta go back one day.
I know that she is a millennial but as a professional journalist/interviewer etc who is now 40 years old PLEASE get rid of the word "like" twice in every sentence. Then maybe she'll be among the greats.
I am a Jerry Seinfeld groupie and proud of it! We are the same age,but I am as Anglo Saxon as you can be. Yet I think his Jewish New York centric comedy is my jam. Thanks for this interview. Jerry unplugged is awesome! Bari - i am a new fan of yours too!
Jerry! Marcus Aurelius was a Taurus - You have introduced me to Stoicism …. I thought Marcus sounded like a Taurus - as you are - and indeed he was. You are the absolute best. Thank you for making the world a better place …. you have made us all laugh and smile. ❤️
oh my, nothing like watching a Seinfeld interview, and all Bari's interviews - but what a visceral moment to see Jerry (for the first time ever!) just have to pause, let alone shed a tear - that was hard. bless you both
Beautiful, thoughtful interview. So glad I watched this. In our era of perfidy and strategic restraint, to watch two thoughtful, funny people uncensoredly sharing their real thoughts and feelings is a real joy.
I’m not Jewish, but there is something incredibly wrong with anyone who would have hate in their heart after just a couple minutes listening to these two.
Jerry is a comedyatician. His jokes are like equations. From the miasma of life he finds some absurdity, and it exploits it. Genius. Deserves a Noble Prize in my opinion.
This was a fantastic interview. Bari is so talented, and that part seeing Jerry get emotional shows the depth of both of their talent and insight. As a new, I’m proud to have both of them in my corner
One can not grasp the amount of pain the Jewish community is in since Oct 7. The grief and shock is tormenting our very core . No wonder even Jerry cried . The pain is insurmountable.
@@MichelleG405 Who could ever have imagined that "never again" would be forgotten in so brief a time? There are still people alive today who were victims of the first Holocaust, and now we have campuses full of "students" who have the same attitude as those who perpetrated it. And they think nothing of it. God help us.
@@MichelleG405now imagine how the families of the tens of thousands of palestinians killed by the IDF in Gaza must feel. Also, the families of the israeli hostages want a permanent ceasefire in exchange for the hostages. Their government doesnt. Stop using the hostages as props to push for more blood bath
Really loved this conversation. Being exposed every single day to tones of hatred and negativity online- you made me happy. Intelligent, positive, love.
This made me laugh and tear up in moments, too. I loved it so much that I listened to it immediately again after finishing the first time. So great!! Thank you 💙💙💙
The older I get the more I appreciate his sense of humor and his take on life and the ppl around us. I have to honestly say I’ve never seen Jerry get emotional in an interview before. That kind of emotional response always seems like it would be very foreign and uncomfortable for him. To see him show it was humbling.
As a Jew raised by a first generation Jewish Mom, there's something so delicious about hearing two Jews, generations apart, saying "farchadat." Thank you, I'm verklempt.
Jerry is under rated one of the greats. He always has great material on tv, not always in person. I saw him in Tahoe it seemed he was trying out new material that wasn't working so he asked the crowd whats your favorite bit of mine. "Whats with Coca Cola machines"
What a great interview. Bari, well done handling of a comedic genius. I have seen Seinfeld several times live, because I was always a fan. I dabbled in comedy at clubs back in the 70's and continued it on with my life on a day to day basis. You don't have to be in in comedy to be funny.
Best interview I've ever seen with Jerry and probably the only time I show Jerry comfortable enough to show a more tender side. ''It's gold Jerry, gold''
The interviewer deserves an "A+"
for her smooth, seamless guiding of her guest from theme to theme in a relaxed, natural, genuine way, keeping focus on him but sharing her very real opinions.

It was fabulous……and memorable! I just gotta go back one day.
To see a man who has dedicated his life to making others smile cry brings a tear to my eye.
I have never, never, NEVER seen this side of Jerry @ 25:10. My goodness--the humanity is so vulnerable, so beautiful. Truly touching
I love Bari's reaction at the end, she's like "CAN YOU BELIEVE I GET TO DO THIS SHIT?!?!". Great interview!
I can't believe how accurate he is about "place." He's definitely one of my kindred souls. Also: Bari is such a gift to all of us.
Bari is one of the very best interviewers I have ever seen in my life .
Couldn't agree more. Extraordinary.
I know that she is a millennial but as a professional journalist/interviewer etc who is now 40 years old PLEASE get rid of the word "like" twice in every sentence. Then maybe she'll be among the greats.
I am a Jerry Seinfeld groupie and proud of it! We are the same age,but I am as Anglo Saxon as you can be. Yet I think his Jewish New York centric comedy is my jam. Thanks for this interview. Jerry unplugged is awesome! Bari - i am a new fan of yours too!
Thanks Bari! Jerry would be stunned to know the impact he's had on me and my family -- love the interview!
Jerry! Marcus Aurelius was a Taurus - You have introduced me to Stoicism …. I thought Marcus sounded like a Taurus - as you are - and indeed he was. You are the absolute best. Thank you for making the world a better place …. you have made us all laugh and smile. ❤️
He will love me on X. That is my name almost.
oh my, nothing like watching a Seinfeld interview, and all Bari's interviews - but what a visceral moment to see Jerry (for the first time ever!) just have to pause, let alone shed a tear - that was hard. bless you both
Great interview. Jerry's description of New York is precisely that reason I love it.
Jerry was on a media blitz, but this interview, hands down, was the best one yet. Ever, really.
Beautiful, thoughtful interview. So glad I watched this.
In our era of perfidy and strategic restraint, to watch two thoughtful, funny people uncensoredly sharing their real thoughts and feelings is a real joy.
This was a pleasure to watch. Thank you.
I love that when the camera pans out, you see Jerry's jeans and sneakers. Adorkable and authentic.
I’m not Jewish, but there is something incredibly wrong with anyone who would have hate in their heart after just a couple minutes listening to these two.
Jerry actively supports a regime that has slaughtered 40,000+ humans, mainly women, children & babies.
I only hate war crimes
@@eemoogee160 They'll delete that comment like they did mine. Zionists.
what a stupid comment
@@eemoogee160 I hate the delusions that lead to people committing war crimes.
This is the best interview I have ever seen.
Damn this was so good. Thanks Bari, this spoke directly to a few things I've had on my mind as of late.
This was healing and warm beyond measure. I LIVE for this kind of exchange. Love Jerry Seinfeld and Bari Weiss! Thank you!❤❤😂😢❤
Jerry is a comedyatician. His jokes are like equations. From the miasma of life he finds some absurdity, and it exploits it. Genius. Deserves a Noble Prize in my opinion.
Jerry is always exceptional, and I have become an instant fan of yours. Nobody deserves to be that bright and funny.
Not only an awsome comedian but also a deep personality. The interviewer is very talented as well
this was beautiful. people who hate this gentle soul are fools. I could listen to him speak all day.
This was a fantastic interview. Bari is so talented, and that part seeing Jerry get emotional shows the depth of both of their talent and insight. As a new, I’m proud to have both of them in my corner
05/28/24: As a "new" what? Are you a Gnau?
@@donreed Jew*. It autocorrected on me
@@DevonPatrick16 !!! (Anti-Semetic software?!)
@@donreed who knows these days haha
By far this is the best Seinfeld interview I’ve ever seen
He cried. Never in my lifetime would I believe he’d allow himself such public vulnerability. I cried.
If you can actually get Jerry Seinfeld to tear up, you've done an amazing interview. That was a powerful moment.
I couldn’t believe it 🤯
One can not grasp the amount of pain the Jewish community is in since Oct 7. The grief and shock is tormenting our very core . No wonder even Jerry cried . The pain is insurmountable.
@@MichelleG405 Who could ever have imagined that "never again" would be forgotten in so brief a time? There are still people alive today who were victims of the first Holocaust, and now we have campuses full of "students" who have the same attitude as those who perpetrated it. And they think nothing of it. God help us.
@@MichelleG405 Yes, every Jew has cried, and talking to her he knew she knew that pain.
@@MichelleG405now imagine how the families of the tens of thousands of palestinians killed by the IDF in Gaza must feel. Also, the families of the israeli hostages want a permanent ceasefire in exchange for the hostages. Their government doesnt. Stop using the hostages as props to push for more blood bath
Really loved this conversation. Being exposed every single day to tones of hatred and negativity online- you made me happy. Intelligent, positive, love.
‘The clientele’ of New York is a great way to describe what is special about this city.
This made me laugh and tear up in moments, too. I loved it so much that I listened to it immediately again after finishing the first time. So great!! Thank you 💙💙💙
THE best interview with my favorite comedian, and so honest. Thank you!
I was completely captivated by this thoughtful, genuine & very moving interview!
The older I get the more I appreciate his sense of humor and his take on life and the ppl around us. I have to honestly say I’ve never seen Jerry get emotional in an interview before. That kind of emotional response always seems like it would be very foreign and uncomfortable for him. To see him show it was humbling.
As a Jew raised by a first generation Jewish Mom, there's something so delicious about hearing two Jews, generations apart, saying "farchadat." Thank you, I'm verklempt.
jerry could be her dad ... 30 year difference ...
@@direwolf6234 Yes, just 1 generation apart. But still I agree that it warms my heart.
@@susieq7360 I always think young people are younger than they are LOL
Jerry is under rated one of the greats. He always has great material on tv, not always in person. I saw him in Tahoe it seemed he was trying out new material that wasn't working so he asked the crowd whats your favorite bit of mine. "Whats with Coca Cola machines"
I just watched two of my favorite people do one of what turned out to be one of my favorite ever interviews ever. Thank you, Bari and Jerry.
What a great interview. Bari, well done handling of a comedic genius. I have seen Seinfeld several times live, because I was always a fan. I dabbled in comedy at clubs back in the 70's and continued it on with my life on a day to day basis. You don't have to be in in comedy to be funny.
Best interview I've ever seen with Jerry and probably the only time I show Jerry comfortable enough to show a more tender side. ''It's gold Jerry, gold''
Wow that was amazing, thank you both! 🥹😂💜
Love this conversation ❤
This interviewer is a class act 🫰🤌 Great interview!
Thank you both for being.
Thank you Bari for revealing a side of Jerry Seinfeld I've never seen before.
Time and time again Barri is the best interviewer and one of the best interviews in the business
Such a brilliant interview. Jerry at his articulate best
words of wisdom from Mr. Seinfeld, well done Ms. Weiss
2 of my favorite Jews
I always enjoy Jerry’s insight and perspective. Thanks for the memories also.
Could have listened to another hour of this.
I saw Jerry’s show in Salt Lake City about 15 or 20 years ago. It was worth every single penny. I just discovered Honestly this year. Great podcast!
