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.

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 student in autumn 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 favourite material, organised 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.

Untitled Jerry Seinfeld

Michael: 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. Julia: 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. Jason: 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. Jerry: 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.

Inside The Final Days Of Seinfeld

George Wallace

"Some people say that the stress of the "real world" is what stops the laughter from coming. When you grow up there are bills to pay. You've got to work a nine-to-five. You've got relationship troubles. But come on people, you don't think a kid deals with stuff to? There's a bully on the playground, a math test the next day. Their teeth are falling out of their heads. Parents are yelling at 'em to eat their broccoli. Kids have their own problems, but they still find a way to laugh their pint-sized behinds off. So why can't the adults have some fun? Does it all have to be so darned serious? Why can't we find the laughter in our lives? I BELIEVE WE CAN"--P. [4] of cover.

Ted L. Nancy

Ninguém seria capaz de adivinhar o mundo surreal à espreita na mente do escritor de cartas Ted L. Nancy, descoberto por Jerry Seinfeld. Os pedidos inocentes, exigências, queixas e sugestões feitos a todos os tipos de lojas, personalidades e instituições são tão absurdos que até custa crer que tenham tido resposta. E o mais interessante é que muitas vezes as respostas ingénuas de lojas, hotéis, teatros, companhias aéreas e multinacionais conseguem ser igualmente engraçadas. Ted escreve a uma loja para dizer que um dos manequins expostos nas suas montras se parece com o seu falecido vizinho e perguntar se poderá comprá-lo para o oferecer à viúva inconsolável. Informa educadamente um hotel de que vai dar entrada com a sua própria máquina de refrigerantes. E estamos a falar das suas ideias mais normais. Das suas inúmeras invenções, ideias para negócios, amor pelos trajes de fantasia, semelhança inquietante com Abraham Lincoln ou das suas sardas que se parecem com Anthony Quinn é melhor nem falar.

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 years: 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 here: the award-winning writing of Seinfeld, "the defining sitcom of our age". Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. Elaine: My roommate has Lyme disease. Jerry: Lyme disease? I thought she had Epstein-Barr syndrome? Elaine: She has this in addition to Epstein-Barr. It's like Epstein-Barr with a twist of Lyme disease. George: She calls me up at my office she says, "We have to talk." Jerry: The four worst words in the English language. Kramer: What a body. Yeeaaah...that's for me. Jerry: Yeah and you're just what she's looking for, too--a stranger, leering through a pair of binoculars ten floors up.
