Jerry Seinfeld is one of those "comfort" human beings. I love just his mere visual. His voice is nostalgic. His humor is perfect. Let's pray he lives another 70 years.

Jerry: "Do you do meditation?" GB: "I don't, I tried it once." Jerry: "Oh great, good try." 🤣🤣🤣

When Jerry said he was 70 it blew me away, he looks and acts Amazing!👍😉🇨🇦

Jerry Seinfeld looks FANTASTIC for 70 years old.

Jerry has earned his success. He worked at it for years honed his skills and made then right decisions that propelled him into the star he became. Very thoughtful person.

I think Jerry might have won the game of life in a way no one else has. He has spent his entire adult life not taking things too seriously, practicing and perfecting his craft and yet still continues to improve himself. He's amazing. Further, as a podcast myself, I'm such a fan of how good Graham is and how he's built such an amazing practice of his show. Very good interview.

He always drops so many pearls. Really insightful.

I read Marcus Aurelius about 10 years ago, and I was very impressed with the stoic attitude. Jerry inspired me to read it again.

This wasn’t an interview for Jerry, this was a life coaching session for Graham.

So many emotions when I hear that Jerry is 70. First it makes me realize that I'm getting old. I have been watching the forever young seinfeld in his show for two decades as I aporoach 40 years old. Second, he simply looks incredible for 70. This man is a treasure

Transcendental Meditation is absolutely wonderful. After hearing Bob Roth and Jerry Seinfeld talk about 5 years ago i found a TM center and went for it. TM has made a huge difference in how i live my life. Life still happens, but TM gives you the peaceful energy to deal with it. Always loved Jerry Seinfeld, bless you for spreading the word.

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.

i love hearing from older people like jerry in their 70s. such great advice, sage as hell. thanks jerry. very reasonable.

I totally missed out on Seinfeld, the TV show. Never started watching it, never got into the habit, and never knew what people were talking about. Just recently, I pulled his book, "Is This Anything?" from one of those little roadside libraries. Now I'm nuts for Seinfeld. He's extraordinary.

This Jerry guy is going places. I have a feeling.

Meditation, Weights, Espresso

This discussion is gold jerry..GOLD!!

Jerry, I'm 62 year old homeless vet. And i watch a lot of videos, because I love to learn. Like you, i feel younger than i am. Like you, i didn't work after covid for 2 years. I just started exercising 9 months ago. I couldn't walk half a block. Exercising, weight training has been my savior. ( my depression is still here, and unlike you i want to not live, but at least I'm physically healthy). Working out is my meditation. I can squat and deadlift very heavy weights because I focus on one simple thing at a time. I do meditate and have taught others. I also do yoga. I love how you interview. You do it with humor, mindfulness and with Sincereness. At least that is what i have observed. Thank you. I will read up on stoicism. I have read a bit on saint Thomas Aquinas, Buddhism, and others. In prison, my friends said to me," is anyone shooting at you?" This question is like your current philosophy. If no one is shooting at you, don't worry. Just move on to the next thing. Be blessed and Shalom.😊 Ps, instead of expresso, its instant coffee😂.

Graham Bensinger is great at interviewing -- I love how he pushes the conversation into the most interesting areas (like the stuff about exercise and Seinfeld's study of Marcus Aurelius, etc.. I've seen Seinfeld interviewed a thousand times but this is the first time where I learned more about who he is and even got a nice reminder about what's important in life. Wow!

Respect to Jerry for sticking by Michael Richards and his stand up career😀

I love this guy. Such a clear mind.. I discovered Marcus Aurelius last year. One of my favorite quotes was: „Don’t think about other people, unless you want to do something good for them“. Will start my TM session now. Love to all of you ❤️

Maybe the best interview line of all time, "exercise is not funny so I don't want to talk about it."

I have been studying stoicism for the past 5 years. It has save my life I LOVE YOU JERRY!!

When I started Transcendental meditation I had no idea that my favorite person Jerry Seinfeld also did it since he was young! And everytime I would go off my practice, his TM talk would bring me back. Been practicing for over 2 years and it’s truly life changing. Thanks Jerry!

Jerry is unexpectedly very wise.❤

Never heard of Graham, but great interview skills. He actually listens and asks questions based on where the conversation goes. Too many interviewers just have a set of questions that they want to get through.

Hooray for you Jerry. Transcendental Meditation is a game changer. I define my life as "Before Learning TM and After Learning TM". It is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

This was insanely great advice from Jerry. I wholeheartedly recommend literally everything he said in this interview clip. Going to start reading the great Stoic authors and take my mediation practice more seriously from now on. God that was inspirational.

I'm also turning 70 next week 😅. Jerry was so inspirational during this interview that he encouraged me to do something positive. Consider this a new beginning 😊. I don't know if meditation is something I would consider. Graham gave a terrific interview 👍 😊. I look forward to Jerry's upcoming movie.👍🦋🦋

Have always loved Jerry. He is straight to the point. I have also learnt over the years to just focus on yourself, and ignore the noise around you.

Good insightful interview! 👍👍

You know what's cool is that he did the work, he gave it his all in the 90s, went out on top, and then had the rest of his life to do whatever he pleased. Must be nice! Wish him well.

Jerry seems like such a decent guy offscreen ❤

Ready for the whole interview!!!

Jerry reached out to Graham in a very personal and generous way. I hope Graham appreciated what was being offered. Jerry must have dozen a bazillion interviews but still remains engaged and creative.

It's gold, Jerry! Gold!!!!

Jerry always made fun of Bania for weightlifting, now this time HE is following in BANIA'S footsteps. Now THAT'S gold!

I love Jerry. He is a national treasure.

And just like that, Jerry Seinfeld started to lead this interview and tell the interviewer what to do with his life. Brilliant!

Happy Birthday Jerry 🎂

he doesn't have to do anything, his place in the culture is assured. Generations will continue to discover his sitcom. Clearly to him, it's all about standup, probably next to his kids it's his favorite thing in the world. people complain that after "Seinfeld" Jerry really hasn't done much. People always said the Beatles never achieved the same level of creativity after the Beatles, yeah, no kidding, they really didn't have to

Thanks for the rec mark Normand!

Love this wisdom of Jerry.

Graham is the best interviewer in the business. A lot of wisdom here from Jerry.

I heard Bob Sacamano taught Jerry the ways of the Stoic

Great interview! This is so inspiring and knowledgeable

"How can anyone not like Jerry?" LOVE HIM!

Jerry is the only guy I look up to.

Such great wisdom….and reaffirmation that I’m on the right path…

Starting meditation tomorrow, thanks Jer.

Meditation should be taught in schools not as a religious practice but as mindfulness training…. I’m 74 and I’ve been meditating for 36 years morning and night… it has changed everything…. I’m calm more loving the concentration of the breath does in fact increase one’s energy

I would have never thought that Jerry Seinfeld would ever be giving a lecture on self help 😀

So much wisdom.. I'm impressed

I absolutely enjoyed living life out of this interview! Thank you for making this happen and thank you for doing your both best in delivering this beauty to me at 2:30am when i couldn't sleep. I appreciate my life a lot more because of Seinfeld's insight. I really do and I want him to know that I do relate to his experiences. He is a very beautiful man with countless words of wisdom he shares with us. And to be frank we should listen to what his lips are saying. He's done so much for the world. Thanks to him. I skipped my breakfast lol. This man is a treasure. He speaks his mind and he says it as he lives it. There's no better way to taste organic product than to listen to this men's wisdom and advice. Also the folks making this interview happened are appreciated for their contribution and are given the opportunity to make more like these. Thank you soo much for this. This has opened my eyes to see the beauty in life. Much love!!

Damn I think Jerry got me back into meditation

He doesn’t look a day over 50👏

Thank you Jerry, you’ve given us SO much!

Fantastic info mate, God bless

Jerry please do the Daily Stoic! 🙏

Im shocked he is 70 ,how did that happen. He looks great !!! Sounds a little slower but still great

Wow had no idea Jerry had such amazing advice to give. I made the same change in my life in the last couple of years and everything changed. He’s so right, people need to hear this.

This was great thanks!

As a daily meditator and is my #1 activity..... I would like to talk to Jerry about it and if he limits his meditations to 20 mins as they do in TM. Would recommend to try meditating as long as you can without straining.... 1 hour becomes a short meditation and longer feels so nice! Hope he's not limiting meditations and just meditates till stops naturally...

4:00 Marcus Aurelius

as a man trying to be a stoic i just have to keep telling myself whatever gets in the way is the way, no point complaining, just get on with it

Transcendental Meditation also changed my life and helped me to accomplish so much more! It’s so restful and gives me so much more energy and clarity of mind, I wish everyone would learn! ❤️

I’m turning 70 and am a stoic. Best life ever.

Jerry seems much more self aware here than I’ve seen before. Still a bit arrogant but coming more from a place of not caring what others think; in older interviews I thought he often came off as smug and lacking awareness.

Great interview Graham! You have great guests and are a very good interviewer! Best wishes and continued success!

Jerry should go on the JRE

Jerry actually looks better now, getting older.

Thanks jer❤

Love Seinfeld! Such a funny and interesting guy! 😀👍

Because Jerry has carved out an exceptional career based on observation as a consequence he’s become incredibly wise.

My ADHD approves of this interview 😂. But yeah… meditations! 🙏🏼

I really appreciate a guy like Jerry Seinfeld is around. He's a good dude, and has a provided generations ample happiness - now turned to wisdom. Whilst always crediting his own teachers. I think when people call him arrogant they don't fully understand him.

Only Seinfeld could admit to an espresso addiction and then say "but I get all my energy from meditation."

the man looks 48

I am so happy to know that Jerry meditates, it has completely changed my life. His career trajectory makes so much sense now.

The smugness in people who do meditate vs people who don’t is hilarious! Love you @Jerry

Seinfeld is slowly turning into Pacino.

The bad reviews really hurt. They are often unfounded and said by someone who couldn't do it better.

He's right on meditation - it's deeply recharging - but there are so many types, I certainly didn't find it effortless in the first 25 years of practicing and experimenting with different types

He forgot to add personal chef, no fixed schedule, and hair dye.

Instead of meditating, why not unload the dishwasher?

A very frank & truthful interview by Jerry. Thank You Bro!!! As a stand up myself I always looked up to Jerry, because he was so clean & creative. A friend of mine opened up for him back in the late 80’s (At Mr. Rips in Spring Valley, NY-Remember Mr. Rips Jerry?) I was very envious of him as I would’ve liked that gig myself. Anyway our paths never directly crossed & the show soon came out & he took off. I was a regular at Dangerfield’s & he never played there. Alas, most of my friends in comedy have passed as it is a tough lifestyle, but myself like Jerry-we keep going. Even though I’m not regularly doing stand-up anymore I think about comedy all the time & think about funny stuff. I’m looking forward to Jerry’s MooVee-Unfrosted!!! It looks like it will be pretty funny as people from our generation will relate to it (Jerry & I are about the same age). Regardless of the reviews I’m sure I’ll love it❤️❤️❤️❤️. Keep on keepin’ on Jerry as in these horrific political times we all need to laugh more than ever!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@4:20 Love this. Essence of Stoicism.

Hairplugs look good makes him look younger

Key #4: date a high schooler when you are 39 years old

I have so much respect for him!!!

Incredible!

He doesn't look 70

1. Make friends with Larry David 2. Make friends with Larry David 3. Make friends with Larry David

Keep rockin Jerry.....

I agree exercise is unfunny, but good for you. He's priceless.

Meditations changed my outlook on life. It really helped me gain perspective and has been such a benefit. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Jerry Steinfeld really only has one key to success Meet Larry David

Unparalleled ego.

Jerry's a GREAT Guy
