@@braziliantexatlantis9512 Jerry will be the first to tell you, and I've heard him say it, that his companions and colleagues on the show were of incredible value. There's a reason why he didn't make the show all about him and let the other stars shine so brightly. Also his reputation on the set was that of a good man.
@@matmcd Did not imply he was lucky. I saw him do standup a few years before the show. $12 and thought he was hilarious without even telling a dirty joke. But the show was rich and full because of his three co-stars. He and Larry David were smart enough to understand how valuable they were to the show.
"The griminess is what made me good". He hit that exactly on the head. So many artists fed off their angst and struggles when starting out, then hit it big and have no more impetus for creativity.
@@UnauthorizedComedy Don't get me wrong, I love Seinfeld but in a lot of interviews, he comes off as a bit arrogant. Also, the whole recycled jokes controversy from 2017 upset a lot of fans.
Hard to imagine anyone disliking Seinfeld...everyone who worked on or around the Seinfeld show talked about how he was a rare showrunner/star who had no ego. Didn't matter who got the best jokes or the biggest laughs...he just wanted it to be as funny as possible.
The thumbnail has Jerry behind the wheel. Did you reconcile the title with the thumbnail before or after you had your chauffeur thought? That would reveal a lot to me about you.
He has the most underrated quality of a genius...he does not take himself seriously and is not above other comedians, and is always dead on accurate on human behavior
alex dornelli are you kidding? He is one of the most egotistical and self-important comedians out there. Just look up for example him yelling at Larry King.
Got a little teary when Jerry said he loves the grime. Real humanity there. Something beautiful and real about his attitude. And the statement that the only way to top his success with seinfeld was to remain an artist. So basically he’s saying that being an artist is ultimately more important to satisfaction than making $800,000,000.
Very interesting interview. I believe the "art of comedy" is what Jerry loves and is most important to him in his heart and soul and that is he is what he is doing with his life. To me, that is a true artist. It is like Beethoven continuing to compose after composing a great masterpiece. I think that his comedy now keeps life fresh and new and on the edge. Who cares if people like it. He is doing what he loves.
If you love cars (not necessarily being a gear-head) and love comedy/comics (especially Seinfeldian humor), then you'll absolutely love his show and all his guests. My impression is that JS has worked incredibly hard his entire life (since he was a little kid) and he deserves all that he as and that's coming to him. Nice work.
Never smoked, never a drinker, daily meditation for over 4 decades, and I guess vitamin enriched cereal :D. He's the same age now as Jerry Stiller (actor who played Georges Dad) was when the show aired. He looks 20 years younger.
Why do people think that once you have a certain amount of money you’re done? It has nothing to do with money it’s about craft, creation and satisfaction. If you think that way you’re in the wrong career and need to do what sets you on fire!
I loved his analogy to surfing. Even though he doesn't surf, he gets the principle that it's the pleasure of doing it that keeps driving one to continue doing it. That same principle can be applied to anything that keeps people doing what they love to do. And that's what keeps him doing comedy in one form or another.
When we see Seinfeld we see obsession. He is obsessed to get laughs and will actually do mental surgical work to figure out how to get jokes that really work. As you said money has nothing to do with it. He is obsessed.
I never found Seinfeld (the sitcom) interesting in the 90's when it was actually current. Now it's 20 years later and I love watching it. Funny how that works.
Was never a fan, however, when he said he wanted to stay grounded as the reason why he still does stand up, it was his foundation where it all started.A great point in life how to remain sane and grounded after achieving great success.
Wow, I'm impressed by Jerry making the surfer analogy, and he's right. There are geezers who've been surfing 80 years, and they still paddle out every day because it's such an amazing experience.
Gotta love Jerry!!!! A funny guy who likes cars. All my life I was told I was funny because I liked cars !! Who could have known? I settled on being a telephone man. Mike
At 5:40 or so, Seinfeld mentions that fans shout lines from his tv show back to him randomly. He says that it's not funny. He wrote those lines for us (the viewers). I want to ask, if you crated something for us and we're trying to give it back, aren't we "regifting"?
@@nawaf8258 then he didn't "make it for you" like he says he did he made it so he could make money and since "regifting" it doesn't make him any money, he doesn't care for it. Which has probably turned to dislike over the years because of how repetitive to him it is.
I used to think that he was arrogant from his other interviews. But now with this video i finally understand his philisophy. It is brilliant,it is only way to keep being sane and healthy when you have almost everything.
Jerry finds the humor...he searchers it out in places you wouldn't ordinarily look and finds that hidden crumb of humor. And his standup routine is where he outs those crumbs to be laughed at. Humor isnt complete until it gets a laugh...and Seinfeld is brilliant at it.
very interesting interview. I thought he had a little bit of that businessman in him, and certainly he does, but I do believe him he means to remain an artist. It sounds over-the-top, "remain an arrrrtist" - but it's true. You either sell out, or you continue doing what YOU want to do and hope others will like it, as an artist.
+yoe91 I certainly dont think that he was over the top when he says that. What he really meant was that after his being in such a big success of a tv show, he couldn't just drop what he had been doing his whole life suddenly. its a lot like how Micheal Phelps said how he went into depression after he stopped training as hard for the Olympics, the daily grind was what had kept him going and giving him purpose. Jerry just happened to realize the same thing, and decided that he had to continue practicing his art in order to have satisfaction in his life. Not arguing, just agreeing with you in a different way
+Jai Guru Yes, I'm still trying to figure out whether he's an ego-monster or not. It doesn't appear so anymore, although I thought so earlier. He does seem to be highly conscious of the whole Jewish culture "eh you made it big, you're a star" and the need to show off a bit all that, and doesn't seem the most modest man in the world. But I don't think he's the pretentious guy I thought before either.
+Jai Guru ah okay, now we're here aye. Was just pointing out that typical Middle-Eastern, Semitic show-off attitude and culture as probably part of why he looks so full of himself (may not be, but looks) - was not talking about Seinfeld "leveraging his Judaism publicly"...
yoe91 at some point, when is hubris just honesty? He's one of the best stand up comedians of all time, he made the single best sitcom ever, and could never work another day in his life and still live better than the vast majority of people on earth. "Eh, I've had some success." At least he still walks around in sneakers.
I have recently become sort of friends with Jerry might I add just a 20 or so times I have talked to him he's the most upbeat positive person I've ever met!!!!!!!
I loved Seinfeld, and I will honestly say, when Seinfeld went off the air I stopped watching sitcoms all together. Mainly because most of the other shows were not on the same level. I agree it is impossible to top Seinfeld! But staying out there and staying active, saying hey i'm still here, doing what I love surrounded by my friends who happen to also be comedians, that would also love a good cup of coffee and some breakfast! Jerry i'm so glad you decided on Comedians in Cars getting coffee, rather than Comedians going to the Movies getting Dinner. You are a true artist who is at his best standing in a hot frying pan! Right when the pan gets hot, that's when you create and develop! A master Chef always has to try out something new, each guest you have on your show makes each show something new.Every show is a different show! I do understand the method and the drive. Like everyday is my first day at work , you may not like me but I will give my 100%. when I hear the laughter my heart smiles.
Honestly, only 30 rock and always sunny have the same philosophy as seinfeld, being that funny is the number one priority. You should check them out, they're on a similar level of quality
Its amazing how many people here are not fans of Jerry Seinfeld, yet watch this somewhat obscure interview with him. When I don't like something or someone I don't go out of my way to look up these things on youtube. If you don't like it thats ok, but why torture yourself by watching more of something you don't like? Its very confusing to me.
Those are the bitter ones who will forever suffer from jealousy and frustration. Jerry already has said that he doesn't care about changing people's opinions about him. And we can see by how he lives that he says the truth. Look at him, he's got it all. Smart, healthy, lovely family, rich... The losers can't handle their hatred.
He did what the smart artists do after they've reached the pinacle of their fame: he went back to his roots. Where he started. Paul McCartney did the same thing. What do you do when you formed the greatest band in the world and at the peak of their fame they break up? He went back to his roots, got all new musicians no one ever heard of, formed a new band from scratch, and started out playing college gigs with all new songs nobody ever heard.
@@judywright4241 Carlin was more philosopher than comic, he spoke truth to power and seemed to focus more on that the older he got, which some misperceive as bitter, especially if the hard truth makes them uncomfortable.
Brilliant talent. It still takes hard work to be successful like Jerry but it’s just a shame that many people like him don’t acknowledge or understand that it’s a gift….from your creator. (John 14:6)
A few hundred bucks for a few GoPro cameras, mounts, and you're off. Pitching to networks online is such an archaic mentality. Seinfeldt doesn't seem to understand the internet.
I thought his reply was a bit arrogant. People who enjoyed his show are just trying to connect with him and show him how much they liked the show by shouting the line. Why adopt such an attitude about it.
I love, LOVE Jerry Seinfeld!!! I can watch anything and everything he does. I have watched Seinfeld from the very beginning to the end and I continue to watch it in syndication, and I continue to laugh.
I recommend the Eddie Murphy episode. The contrast between two of these all time great standups is amazing. Eddie hit it big early in his career (his 20's), and went into movies. It seems like Eddie is intimidated to do standup again... like he wants to wait until he's written the right material and can get it perfect. As a contrast, Seinfeld achieved massive success later in life (his 30's) and simply isn't trying to top his peak, but rather to stay sharp by taking risks and performing standup. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is a good program for Gen X'ers. I suspect that boomers would enjoy it as well. I do not know what Millenials would think of it.
What got me started watching Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, was word coffee, and its like hanging out with the Jerry and his guest. I usually drink coffee while watching it. I'm sure you people reading this don't even care, right?
When he says that Comedy is the only field that doesn't suffer from "interpretive opinion culture"... Comedians suffer the most from "interpretive opinion culture". Hecklers are the epitome of "interpretive opinion".
Here I was thinking how the video's going to be about how Jerry doesn't actually drive the cars, how a film crew drives the car around on top of a film production trailer or something.
Didn't like the early episodes ... but his interviews with the comedy 'old timers' Norm, Mel Brooks, Carl R, Bob einstein and Don Rickles were realy fascinating ... Like going back in time, nice and hilarious stories
No matter what people say or think about Jerry, he is doing what he dreams of doing right now in his life. So kudos to him.
I'm happy for him he met Larry David and Jason Alexander and Art Carney.
what ya mean?

nah, pretty cheap
The video title made me think this was a video on why jerry has a chauffeur 😂
(that's the joke)

Greatest Comedian on the great TV SHOW!!
i need to meet Jerry for a cup of coffee someday
He was so good on David Steinbergs Inside Comedy show on Showtime. Talked about Rickles
Comedian Andy Bumatai had a "In The Car" interview show with local comics *before* the Seinfeld show.
With the glasses, Jerry looks like Steve Jobs! Just throw on a black turtleneck shirt and jeans.
ANYTIME Jerry has an idea for a show about nothing YOU. JUST. AGREE. TO. IT.
There is nobody in the world better to Seinfeld than Seinfeld.
There are 3 TV shows in my life that I consider to be without doubt, the best and Seinfeld is in that list. Rockford Files and MASH are the other two.
I recommend the Eddie Murphy episode. The contrast between two of these all time great standups is amazing. Eddie hit it big early in his career (his 20's), and went into movies. It seems like Eddie is intimidated to do standup again... like he wants to wait until he's written the right material and can get it perfect. As a contrast, Seinfeld achieved massive success later in life (his 30's) and simply isn't trying to top his peak, but rather to stay sharp by taking risks and performing standup.
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is a good program for Gen X'ers. I suspect that boomers would enjoy it as well. I do not know what Millenials would think of it.
Lol the guy almost didn’t laugh at his “not listening to his wife” joke.
It took me a few "beats" before "I got it!". Very subtle, as he just slipped it in there.
Nice!
What got me started watching Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, was word coffee, and its like hanging out with the Jerry and his guest. I usually drink coffee while watching it. I'm sure you people reading this don't even care, right?
Fantastic series. Bravo Jerry!
When he says that Comedy is the only field that doesn't suffer from "interpretive opinion culture"... Comedians suffer the most from "interpretive opinion culture". Hecklers are the epitome of "interpretive opinion".
Jerry news flash...your still on the flying saucer, just in a different way.
Got to love the Sein
I enjoyed this interview btw
Did jerry or anyone else, write a good biography about him that is worth reading?
Six years later - he has written “Is this Anything”?
That comment about comics not being subject to interpretive opinions didn’t age well in the age of Communist cancel culture
Wonderful, brilliant concept for a show.
Here I was thinking how the video's going to be about how Jerry doesn't actually drive the cars, how a film crew drives the car around on top of a film production trailer or something.
Didn't like the early episodes ... but his interviews with the comedy 'old timers' Norm, Mel Brooks, Carl R, Bob einstein and Don Rickles were realy fascinating ... Like going back in time, nice and hilarious stories
