Jerry Seinfeld

The first book in twenty-five years from Jerry Seinfeld features his best work across five decades in comedy.Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a twenty-one-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.” For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In page after hilarious page, one brilliantly crafted observation after another, readers will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy.

These and dozens of other guests talked about the intricacies of stand-up, the evolution of their careers and personal lives, and whatever else popped into their brilliant minds. Seinfeld’s carefully crafted episodes have reimagined the talk show format, each one a unique, hilarious, and yet intimate conversation—a rare opportunity for viewers to witness their favorite performers unscripted and unvarnished.

Jerry. George. Elaine. Kramer. We've followed their misadventures for nearly ten years on Thursday nights. Here, finally, are the scripts of the first two seasons that will take you back to the beginning of Seinfeld. Featuring the first 17 episodes ever aired, The Seinfeld Scripts contains all the great lines that have kept us laughing for the pilot episode, "The Seinfeld Chronicles," where it all began; George introduces his importer/exporter altar ego Art Vanderlay in "The Stakeout"; Kramer becomes obsessed with cantaloupe in "The Ex-Girlfriend"; Jerry and George meet Elaine's dad in "The Jacket"; is Jerry responsible for a poor Polish woman's death when he makes "The Pony Remark"?; Jerry and Elaine decide to become intimate again in "The Deal"; what will George do when he is banned from the executive bathroom in "The Revenge"?; and Jerry, George, and Elaine wait for a table in "The Chinese Restaurant." It's all the award-winning writing of Seinfeld, "the defining sitcom of our age". Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. My roommate has Lyme disease. Lyme disease? I thought she had Epstein-Barr syndrome? She has this in addition to Epstein-Barr. It's like Epstein-Barr with a twist of Lyme disease. She calls me up at my office she says, "We have to talk." The four worst words in the English language. What a body. Yeeaaah...that's for me. Yeah and you're just what she's looking for, too--a stranger, leering through a pair of binoculars ten floors up.

At the last curtain call made the gesture of "being quiet" with my finger to my mouth. That was my signal to the house and to those around us--an to myself--that there would be no more words from Kramer. Elaine was someone who single women laughed at because she wrestled with her worst secrets and biggest fears. Let's face it, she embodied lots of problems. In fact she was a jerk. Anyone who chooses Elaine as a role model should be in therapy. When people reflected on their own lives in comparison to George's, they felt pretty good. They could tune in and see it was far worse for this poor slob. In a sick way that was comforting. After nine years, how do you say good-bye to the experience, the people, the accomplishments? Emotionally, I just hoped not to get crushed, yet all the while I knew I would.

This book was inspired by Kramer's great idea in the Seinfeld episode "The Cigar Store Indian," which was originally broadcast on December 9, 1993. Although this is not a coffee table book about coffee tables, it is a book with an amazing amount of "inside information" about the making of Seinfeld: anecdotes, facts and a behind-the-scenes look at this phenomenal television series.This special limited edition book has images of unique artifacts and some rarely seen photos from the private collections of the people who made the show so successful. Cast and crew were consulted, making the information in this volume as accurate as possible. Each character is profiled in depth, and all 180 episodes are meticulously featured in the order in which they aired. There's only one Seinfeld - and you now have a very exclusive companion to go along with it.--from "Seinfeld: The Coffee Table Book" (page 21)

'Heel goed vertaald, heel erg leuk, zeer aan te raden!' Martijn KoningVanaf het allereerste optreden in 1975 als 21-jarige student in de legendarische New Yorkse club 'Catch a Rising Star' tot op de dag van vandaag heeft Jerry Seinfeld al zijn materiaal zelf geschreven. En hij heeft alles bewaard. Zo schrijft 'Als er iets grappigs in me opkwam, of dat nu tijdens een show was, of tijdens een gesprek of waar dan ook, dan schreef ik het op en bewaarde ik het in van die ouderwetse schoolmappen. Ik heb dus alles nog, van al die 45 jaar waarin ik steeds m’n stinkende best deed.'Seinfeld heeft voor dit boek zijn favoriete materiaal geselecteerd en presenteert het per decennium. Hierdoor krijgt de lezer de ene na de andere hilarische en briljant verwoorde observatie en volgt zo de ontwikkeling door de jaren heen van een van de beste komieken van onze tijd. Het is tevens een nieuwe inkijk in de spannende, prikkelende, maar ook meedogenloze kunst van het schrijven en uitoefenen van comedy.Beluister nu ook de Zoeken naar boeken-podcast over Is dit wat?
