This documentary was released in 2002. In 2017, Jerry appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and they have a discussion about Cosby, whose comedy albums influenced them both when they were children. [Note: the earliest claims against Cosby date back to 1965, when he was 26 years old and becoming more successful as a stand up comedian, with his albums winning Grammy awards]. Jerry called Cosby's stand-up, "The greatest body of work in comedy," while Stephen said, "I grew up on his stuff, and I think it saved my life." They ponder over whether they can still enjoy Cosby's comedy, maybe separate the man from his art. Stephen says no. Jerry says yes. The interview is put on hold while they go to a commercial break. When it resumes, Jerry admits straightaway that he is not able to separate the comedy from Cosby. These are the two videos on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert RU-vid channel: "Jerry Seinfeld Talks Bill Cosby, Whether He Can Separate The Man From The Body Of Art" "Jerry Seinfeld Is Becoming 'Modern' Seinfeld."
I got excited when Chris Rock raved about a comedian he'd seen do 2½ hours straight of killer and edgy material. I hadn't caught the name of the comedian he mentioned, so I rewound to 10:21 and then...oh.
It's hard to sympathize with the Jerry Seinfeld in this film. He lives now in a world of limos, private jets, fancy hotels. He's trying to recapture part of his life that's over and done with.
Gosh the audio with the music and other audio at the beginning is overwhelming. Just cut the music after a few seconds, but there also seems to be an audio problem of cut off in this video as well.
8:45 Such an important thing to remember when you are a creative who works for yourself. Discipline yourself like you have a boss, don't wait for inspiration. Fantastic
Hi, I remember there is amazing clip in this documentary where Seinfeld does a short skit something like this: "you ever wondered what is it to make it in comedy... well.. this is it" referring to himself. Is this clip in part 1 2, 3, or 4? I'm trying to find it!
How disgusting is that gold digging whore he called his wife? These whores who were born nothing and without the ability to achieve anything for themselves are so prolific when money is involved. How many “famous “ untalented useless women are only known because of the work and effort put in by a man that they leached and sucked onto? Pathetic lower than a worm whores,the lot of them. Every lowlife whore in Hollywood is only even recognizable due to the work and efforts of a man. Phuck all you low rent do nothing user cunts
The best bit in the entire documentary was cut from this scene. Jerry talks about nurturing a joke like a baby bird, working on it and doting over it, then letting it free from the nest to see if it can fly... Meanwhile this other joke that kills every time, the biggest, cheapest, lowest effort laugh you can get, is like a hawk circling: oh you want a joke? I'M a fkn JOKE.
Orny Adams comes off as very unlikable in the full documentary, which may or may not be totally fair. He was young at the time, and perhaps out of his depth working with one of the all-time greats.
He is real. He is currently working. You can listen to him on Pete Holmes' podcast. He's a thriving club comedian who never got a huge transition to TV, possibly bc of the 'difficult' label. As time has gone on, I have appreciated Orny more and more. It's very difficult to make a living in standup, and how could it not be a huge ego trip for a 29 year old to be on this doc with Seinfeld?
a friend of mine I won't say her name had an accident in her pants in public what she did was crap her pants so embarrassing right? I could only imagine until one day I was in public and like her I had to "go" not wanting to embarrass myself I ran over to this small secluded area away from everyone and did my business there thank goodness no one saw me the only problem then was getting home without anyone seeing my poopy pants
