But can Jerry's coffee table book BECOME a coffee table?? If it can I'm sold.
I see what you did there......
Hey, you know what would make a great coffee table book? A coffee table book about coffee tables!
I laughed so hard at your post I choked on the black and white cookie I was eating.
It can if he hires Kramer to do it.
I knew this comment would have already been made.
.. criticism of Israel, does NOT equal antisemitism
I was about 24 years old, at night hanging on the west side, can’t remember where exactly in NYC but I saw Jerry and dashed over to him and said, “Hi Jerry, I love Seinfield!” Like he’s never heard THAT before.. he smiled and said, thanks so much and gave me an autograph. He was wonderful… ❤ I’ll never forget the encounter because I was so nervous but he was “normal.”
Great! What year was that?
I had the pleasure of seeing him perform at a college in Terre Haute many years ago. It was such an amazing show. I laughed so much that night. I'll never forget it.
I do love this man, and his imagination is so led by constantly thinking about every LITTLE WORD, AND HOW PEOPLE LOOK, SAY AND REACT TO THOSE LITTLE WORDS. Jerry microscopically dissects everything about us and loves to pull it all apart, and tells each of us how funny we act as people. His mind is a whirlwind of brilliance ❤🌀
They think VERY high of themselves but they don’t think as highly about the rest of us. I mean, imagine you believed that you were in a group of Gods chosen and everyone else isn’t. That must do something psychologically to a person.
What about the rise in antiwhiteism?
No one cares obviously.
Jerry is a national treasure, I was in high school during the height of Seinfeld and it was the best sitcom ever!
I love all good comedy. All good comedy is funny, but some sparks conversation, some sparks debate, some sparks controversy and some sparks unity. Seinfeld has always been a comedian that unites. In this world we need that now more than ever. I could just watch this man order coffee and be endlessly entertained for hours.
I'm not going to unite with people who want me dead.
Post Edited o
He looks incredible at 68. Might be the freshest looking 68-year old I've ever seen.
Wealth can help your fight fight aging.
Jerry states that daily TM meditation gives him energy.
He's so vibrant, he's spinning!
@@christopherallen9580
Not always
He has the best doctors... Plastic surgery! It's easy to see. Look at the smooth face compared to the neck.
Jerry has such great normality. We need more. Much more.
Not remotely
He dated an 18 year old while he was in his thirties.
@@Bryce3189 She was actually 17 when they started dating and he was 38
Yea he’s real down to earth. 😂
And the fact that he’s nearly a billionaire is even cooler that he’s human….!
God bless you Jerry. I love and support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people. La'chiam & Shalom. 🙏
.. do you support the regime of Israel?
@@imemine6494 Great question.
You do know the history of porsche
Odd how jews pay 100k for a porsche when they built the engines for the tanks. Might as well buy Hugo boss
@@maralynfarber2068 well I drive a vw so
Jerry is my all time favorite comedian. Everything he does has great taste, never over the top. Fantastic human being.
We’re just gonna ignore the fact that he dated a teenager when he was in his 30s? Ok got it 👍
The bee movie the marriage ref he is nothing without Larry David

I was thinking the same thing! it's thinning but haaair!

@@Mr.Wonderful69 maybe using minoxidil or propecia now?
@@christopherallen9580 lol prob not, I think it just looks like more when it's longer
@@christopherallen9580 nah those people are hairy
When I was 8yrs old I looked into the YMCA dojo and saw guys practicing Karate and Judo and said to myself: "I want to be one of those guys." My dad signed me up and 48yrs later I am still practicing martial arts.
It's easy to relate to Jerry's ''I wanna be one of those guys.'' comment. 🥋
Well it’s always good to practice things, we’re never to old to practice doing something
But remember one thing, I don’t want you to do it because you want to be like someone else
You should just be you, if your not good at it then find something your good at
Just be you don’t be like someone else, because you’ll never be like that person you saw it’s like them teenagers who want to be like Katy Perry or Kelly Clarkson
They’ll never be like them, but they certainly can be as funny as them and do their own jokes and funny statements
But if people tried to be just like them, then it’s kinda like acting like someone your not
People don’t like that, people like people who just try to be themselves, people will never be Jerry Signfeld, never
But they can still be a Comedian certainly then can but it’s not right to act just like him
Otherwise people will get to the point it’s like” yeah this person is trying to be someone their really not” you know people like people who try to be themselves
Jerry, you're a legend. Best comedy ever. Thank you so much.
He's a good man. His series has brought me joy and comfort.
No one is good... repent as God commands
Yeah right Ha haha hahahaha 😅
He dated an 18 year old while he was in his thirties.

@@Bryce3189 That's not illegal.
Jerry Seinfeld is still so funny. I loved his Netflix special so much! ❤
I used to love his stuff, but he's a lightweight when compared to Bill Burr, Louis CK, Gary Gulman, Patton Oswalt, Mike Birbiglia, and others.
He dated an 18 year old while he was in his thirties.

On a related note, anti-Christian sentiment among jews is high like it always is.
Which ethno-religious group invented Christianity? Saul (Paul), Simon (Peter), Matthew, etc. What ethno-religious group were they from? Hint: They weren't "Smiths".
@@camillabruford7216 There's a difference between an Israelite and an Edomite
@@camillabruford7216 You seem really smart.
Jerry looks good with the new hair weave. I like it!! Love Jerry Seinfeld!!!
I'm going to try to say this without weeping profusely but Jerry's always been in my heart and gotten me through the worst of times by just putting on his show it's so comforting and I'm going through a divorce and so many other problems addictions and stuff thank you buddy appreciate it I wish I could shake your hand but I know that I'll never happen. It would blow my mind if he ever actually responded to this. The host did a great job of listening and not over talking with Jerry. Like she said this should have been an hour special this was way way too short people want to know what Jerry's up to what he's doing we miss his show we miss him and the cast I miss Julia and Jason and Michael as well. I know Michael made a big mistake that night but that was one night we all make big mistakes and God is very forgiving it's scripture show if we want God to forgive us we need to forgive others so Michael needs a second chance like we all do many times I hope to see him again soon I miss you and love you Michael Richards!
I hate the Michael Richards issue. I mean, one moment of unfiltered anger of being heckled, lost a career and then some years later you see the most vile president ever, being ACTUALLY racist for many decades, and a lot of proof Stuff like: Where's my black guy, do you see my black guy in the crowd? Always bringing up intelligence when talking about most women or most black people. Making it look as if all black people know each other, while not specifically racist, his reasoning to put it that way is. Wanting a special episode of black vs white in he Apprentice. Then of course the rental housing and black people, birth certificate of Obama and other stories. His base (not all Republicans, thankfully) love him being racist. It makes them feel like they can then call everyone the N word in their little chat fora they have left.
@@nlx78 You don't know what you're talking about...too bad.
He made me start to see the world in a new way and ask my own questions about society and manners. For example, if I open the door for you at the bank, do I still have to stand behind you in line or should you let me go first?
@@nlx78 Those are quite some mental gymnastics there for whatever you are talking about, lol. You definitely deserve a medal for them, lol. Good grief.
🙏ers and ❤for you.
He's a class act. And he is able to do adult comedy without getting disgusting. I believe in an interview about not using profanity, he pointed out that using profanity or crude humor is cheating because your comedy isn't that good. To become vulgar is a cheap way of hiding the lack of imagination and cleverness.
All but class act. He is a narcissistic p Rick
@@miciboo9993it’s a bit dude Jesus how don’t you guys get this
@@Lightningkuriboh funny, not
jerry is funny and i can share my enjoyment of his comedy with my sons , which is rare and special thanks jerry. God bless us every one .
If he was any funny you wouldn’t claim so
Every time I see Jerry , I always think the same thing. He seems like such a nice guy. I wish I knew him.
Love Jerry Seinfeld. Thanks for your contribution to making all of our days a little better. :)
I ❤️ Jerry and I never knew Jenna... but now I ❤️ her too.
Jerry and Dave Chapelle, no 2 comedians speak more about their love and admiration for comedy and comedians than these 2 legends. So very different, yet so much in common
Gratitude is a beautiful attitude, and gets one much benefits.
They are fun, but they are not legend..no way.
Happy Thanksgiving, congratulations in your new book Jerry!
jerry seinfeld really is the master of social everything, the guy is just naturally a people person which is part of why ive always loved the irony of the show
There are successful people who deserve their success and those who don't, and he certainly is in the first group.
Jerry with the hair looks like old Jerry. Amazing how hair transforms people’s appearance.
he's 70
I LUV that he let his hair grow out!! And, I LUV him!❤
I like this Jerry. Very human. They both really clicked wish it was longer.
Very human but not 100%
I was going to say "Wow, Jerry finally looks like he's aging. He must be in his late 50s". Then I looked it up. THIS MAN IS ALMOST 70 YEARS OLD. HOW DOES HE DO THAT?
The type comedy Seinfeld is famous for reminds me of a guy named Brian Regan. Seinfeld's delivery is much more subtle and less physical (funny faces and the like), but both comics are completely CLEAN. I can't emphsize that enough. For those of you old enough, Red Skelton comes to mind. Competely clean and HILARIOUS! My family and I saw him at John Ascualegga's (sp?) Nugget in Reno, Nevada in the 70's. Skelton was so funny that my face literally hurt and was sore after his performance from smiling or laughing so much. To make me laugh, someone HAS to be funny, and without any of the vulgarities. 🤣
Jerry sidesteps any serious question. He never gives away his actual thoughts. I understand why
Love Jerry’s show. I started watching it on Crackle. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years. Wow
One of the ogs like myself
Both series Seinfeld and Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee are classics
Thank you Jerry Seinfeld for your humor and insights
Why does it look like Jerry's head was squeezed in a vice and his eyes popped out.
Jerry, you are the BEST!
People are waking up.
Obsess is the wrong word. Obsessing about the little things can drive you nuts. I think Jerry meant that finding humor in the little things can make life good.
A rich jew telling you not to question his people who disproportionately run the federal reserve, both sides of congress and the media 😆
Jerry has the best laugh. It would be great to crack him up.
Watching him laugh and just crack up is the best. Best part of Comedians in Cars.
@5:39 why is she holding her coffee cup like that? so funny
HaHa
OK - Actually bearable interview - rare ly seen on TV these days - Good Job J & J !!!
What’s TV
@@Matthew.M.S. HA!!!!!!!!!!
I’m glad he’s talking about it. We rise together when we celebrate each other’s differences. Not point fingers but instead support how multicultural, diverse in food, religions, etc etc we have in US. Something to be proud of. I appreciate that folks talk about sensitive topics without gaslighting.
It's the differences in all of us that make us so interesting and exciting. Can you imagine if we were all exactly the same in every way how boring this world would be.
He’s actually not talking about “it”
.. You agree criticism of Israel, does NOT equal antisemitism???
@@imemine6494 - Exactly! It's about Israel's policies of death and destruction against the Palestinians! If they're SO religious they should be accepting of their neighbors REGARDLESS of their different religions!!
@@davidpaul6656.. Exactly
Jenna has all the warmth and charm of a crouton. At least she worked hard for the gig.
"I guess y'all are people."
Her dad is a Chad too
Jenna sticks out her middle finger when she lifts her cup. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when George thinks the waitress is giving him the finger when she points at the menu.
🤣🤣
I'll always remember Seinfeld, he's one of OG's .
“And this offends you as a Jewish person?”
“It offends me as a comedian.”
The great noticing has begun.
Facts
Got the book for Christmas and I love it ❤️ 🎁
An aspect instead of a defect. That was just… wow. 🤯
Jerry is one of the greats♥️ Have never been able to warm up to Jenna Bush. I can’t quite put my finger on it. She puts in a good effort but something is lacking.
Same. Got to where she is by using family ties to get a job doing "hey, isn't this cool?" stories instead of real journalism, then rose quickly to the top by making friends with Savannah. Tries to outshine the guests, and adds little of value to any conversation or interview
@@LindaC616 I couldn’t have said it any better!
@dawnpatrol4099 lol, I've been mad about it for years, as it was happening--does it show? 🤣
The secret service made me wait outside a bank in New Haven while Jenna was a Yale student inside. I'm bitter and angry about this infringement on my rights. ( Ha ha only kidding , but it did happen)
They should have asked about Jerry's history of being an anti-dentite.
Love is the essence of humanity.
He looks great with hair again!
Why are the Jews always complaining whenever someone says a negative thing about them? Does any group of people do this?
Without antisemitism (real or imagined), the jews cease to exist.
Yep. People of color, Muslims, and trans folks just let it slide right off their backs.
Thoroughly enjoy watching Comedians in Cars......so funny, not to mention timely. Was introduced to Brian Reagan, who was hilarious and who knew Alec Baldwin was funny. Keep making us laugh, Jerry. Heaven knows we need it these days.
He dated an 18 year old while he was in his thirties.
Baldwin was hilarious and ridiculous. He was as funny as any good improv comedian. What Baldwin did in that show was....show how clever and amusing he could be. "...I was Lincoln" line is grandiose and hilarious (as he discussed his petty complaints about his younger brother playing ball all day while Alec was working).
Can the Jewish community be criticized without labeling someone antisemitic?
Yes
@@Hadesthief...provide an example.
@@Dracoool anything that doesn't make a generalization about all jews is fine
@@Hadesthief...provide an example..be specific.
@Dracoool you can criticize the support of Israel, or the Orthodox anti-lgbt stance, or the feeling of superiority as the "chosen people" of God. It's just a problem when you generalize for all Jews.
I’m addition to the book, I wish the team also release the full cut of comedians in cars getting coffee
Jerry, you say weightlessness and what I say you are is “ in the sacred space,” the space that is what/ who we are and to recognize that while on earth is beyond priceless because it everlasting and offers a freedom available to everyone regardless of who you are, where you live, how much you are worth financially and doesn’t it make sense that it is the Way it’s should be, the only time the word “😅” is inclusive and loving .❤ ps you are a Light bringing joy and merriment and Spirit to all.
HUH?!?
Hearing this stuff breaks my heart. Much ❤️ to my Jewish brothers and sisters and all. 🌎
A Jewish comedian that rarely mentioned being Jewish. Rare.
Crazy how time goes by so fast
I just have a lot of respect for Jerry Seinfeld. Very good human being.
What makes him a good human being? Name a single thing he has done for other people in need. Just one. Meanwhile he steps over homeless people in NYC while walking to the place where he stores his 100 collector cars. Even in this interview, he wiggles his way out of giving a real answer about the rise of antisemitism. Oh, and he pursued his wife even though he knew she had only recently gotten married and he refused to give his co-stars on Seinfeld (the ones who truly made it a hit) a producer credit so that they could earn a bit more in residuals while he hoards a billion dollars. He may not be evil, but this is a completely self-involved, selfish man.
Ha! That's funny he only respects himself.
@@Bryce3189 that's impossible for you to know.

Here it goes AGAIN....(rolleyes)
If anyone out there ever thought of taking a comedy class, don't bother just watch CCGC. It is a doctorate level class in comedy. My favorite thing on the internet

I think, Why? I’m not Jewish and I love going to temple. I have never felt so loved and accepted.
Because Satan is embarrassing to all

I have many Jewish friends. I really don’t care about peoples religion. If they are my friends, then I love them. I support my Jewish friends and the Jewish people.
Fake or Real??? Satan or God?
.. do you support the Israeli regime?
I think all religions have been exploited by unsavory factions,but what I've seen of the Talmud is clearly,despicably evil.
@@imemine6494 Support Israel, yes. I hope they cut a deal to get the Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza citizenship to Saudi Arabia, or at least Jordan and Syria. That would help solve the situation there. One way tickets back to the Arab lands
@imemine Do you support the global Islamic caliphate? You want the US and Israel to follow Sharia law?
That side turn though…lol
Jerry has always been a favorite of mine, especially that his popularity is based on his own merits, as opposed to famous people who gain popularity based on the hatred they spread about others.
I miss Seinfeld!
Antisemitism and other types of bigotry are a product of people with personality disorders, those who need to attack others that they consider different and which makes them feel better about themselves for some bizarre, twisted reason. Growing up, my family had this issue and I severed them from my life. Best thing I ever did.
kudos to you, pal. I hope you find a family in people you really deserve to be around.
@@qurratulainzehra8760 I appreciate your kind words.

Priceless!
There is nothing better than watching comedians get together. The more the better laughing with and at each other. It’s an intellectual Art form that far too many don’t or can’t understand and appreciate. Hooray to you All.
2 GOATs are Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Burr (honorable mention to the avante-garde stand up genius Donald Trump)
Great interview Jenna! Love Jerry Seinfeld
Jenna got that job because of her dad right?
@@Matthew.M.S. Jenna is very charismatic and stays out of partisan politics. She's awesome.
Love u ❤️ Jerry... anti Israel 🇮🇱 isn't antisemitism
Interesting, u feel the need to say this here....😅
@@atidfelixcastillo-najerala6891 Why shouldn't he?
She's right. The Eddie Murphy episode was easily the best.
Nah, Brian Regan and Bill Burr episodes were better.
Comedians in Cars was so good, there were a couple junk episodes because of the guests not being interesting but 95% were excellent. We have rewatched them at least 10 times and certain episodes at least 20.
One of the most amazing moments of Comedians in Cars is when during the Bridget Everett episode Jerry went on an absolute tirade about Bobcat Goldwthait (who wasn't mentioned by name (well it was bleeped out), but who he was clearly talking about)... I've never seen him get so heated about anything... really, I don't know if I had ever seen him GENUINELY get heated (besides for comic effect) about anything before.
Why does he not like Goldthwaite
Jerry needs to start a new show. America needs a comic relief
He would just complain about cancel culture and rail on Bobcat.
If you mean a sitcom... as much as I love Seinfeld, I'm doubtful that Jerry could make lightning strike twice.
We have Larry on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and I think that's enough.
@@Bryce3189
Just cut the crap
Love to see Jerry looking great!
I love Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. 2 Comic geniuses.
anti semitism never seems to be on the decline it's just always on the rise isn't it. quite perplexing.
Because it's just propaganda.
Jerry Seinfeld is 68 and he’s still looking young
Money.
Took 30 years but Jerry finally looks a year over 40. (He ages really well).
Jerry gives hope with very successful individuals in showbiz
No dramas no drugs (except coffee)strong marriage always loved his comedy and natural vibe .
Jerry and Jay Leno, for sure.
No dramas but he dated a 17 year old when he was 38
*hand shakes holding coffee as it spills over on the sides* oh yeah I totally agree I can see sound...... ☕☕☕☕☕
@@marymagdalene3004absolutely no way can jay Leno go in Jerry’s category. Leno is a jerk. God tier is Jerry, Dave Chappelle and Bill Burr. That’s it, it’s objective and scientific.
"support Jewish people" regardless of who they are or what they've done. Carte blanche is a wonderful thing.
The cast of Seinfeld was so diverse. Kinda like drama and yearbook clubs in certain school districts... ;)
maybe the word "diverse" has changed meanings.
How was the show diverse when the entire cast was Jewish?
@@Gr13fKvlt Imagine that.
Man it's so crazy how many times in life without ever meeting somebody you have a deep admiration and respect for that individual and you just know for certain that they're a decent human being. Jerry's one of us, no fluff or celebrity entitlement, he encapsulates the cliche down to earth kind of personality. Come on seriously eh Jerry, because it's so nice when it happens good.
He's an actor. You don't know this man, stop being fooled by mimesis. Read Plato's Republic.
@@jameseldridge3445did you go into this comment section just to be angry? seems like an "interesting" use of your time. Most of us click on the video to enjoy one of our favorite comedians.

Hair plugs and hair dye help. Plus when you have millions of dollars at your disposal, it kind of takes the stress and edge off a lot of things.
Neither do the girls he dates.
Great show 😁😁😁😁😁
“I guess what suprises me about the show is that it is hilarious, which is what people would expect”

Pop tarts are yummy. Anything that's 95% sugar will be.
