Jerry Seinfeld Discography of CDs

Jerry Seinfeld CD discography Includes material from Seinfeld's HBO special of the same name. I'M TELLING YOU FOR THE LAST TIME was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Spoken Comedy Album. By August of 1998, when this concert was recorded for broadcast on HBO, Seinfeld had rung down the curtain on the most popular sitcom of the decade and earned enough money to buy Jason Alexander a different toupee for every day of his life. As I'M TELLING YOU makes clear, no matter how big a pop culture icon he'd become, Seinfeld's roots are in standup comedy, and he still knows how to make a live audience bust a collective gut. His natty, neurotic urban Jewish shtick is far from new, dating back at least as far as the Catskills comics of the '50s, but Seinfeld puts a decidedly '90s twist on his humor. Tackling everything from the female orgasm to the medical profession, Seinfeld puts contemporary society on a satirical skewer, enabling listeners to simultaneously identify with him and laugh at themselves.

Jerry Seinfeld albums Fans of Jerry Seinfeld's hit comedy series Seinfeld shouldn't hold their breath -- Jerry Seinfeld on Comedy is not the long-awaited sequel to 1998's I'm Telling You for the Last Time. It is, however, a helpful, educational tool for would-be stand-ups who yearn for a glimpse into the hot comedian's mind. Through a series of interviews with former comic/motivational speaker Larry Wilde that span the course of a decade, Seinfeld discusses the tricks of his trade, from the painstaking thought and self-discipline necessary to survive the club circuit to the dedication and perseverance necessary to succeed in the national spotlight. (Seinfeld practiced for his first gig on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show over 200 times, realizing it would make or break his fledgling career.) There aren't many laughs here -- Seinfeld plays it straight, providing thoughtful answers to every one of Wilde's ultra-technical questions. Even so, it's interesting to hear his definition of a joke ("proving something that is absolutely trivial, but with rigorous logic"), his conceptual approach of comedy ("really good comedy is a dialogue, not a monologue...because laughs contain thought"), and his disdain for dirty material ("profanity is the great shortcut to comedy"). By now, American audiences are well acquainted with Seinfeld's brand of wry, observational humor; Jerry Seinfeld on Comedy affords them a rare opportunity to pick his brain and learn to secrets of his success. ~ Rossiter Drake Personnel: Jerry Seinfeld (vocals).
