    The sock in the dryer joke is the one I retain above all his other standup stuff. Weird that he says that about not repeating jokes, though. People have listened to comedy albums for generations, over and over. I’m sure he did as a kid. We all did (I’m about his age). Carlin, Brooks & Reiner, Cosby… we’d tell them to each other and crack up.

    I’m surprised that Seinfeld seemed not in touch with his singular presence when he referenced that a joke told was basically over once told. There is also the joy in recalling funny stuff alone or together. Great interview.

      A lot of comedians don't actually understand comedy. As Seinfeld says here, they come up with jokes spontaneously. But they don't necessarily understand why the joke works on an audience.

    He was on "Later" THREE TIMES before the show was anywhere near a hit? (Costas references "last year with a half dozen shows" that means this interview is taking place after the second season, when the show was still struggling mightily)

      Do you even know what he gets paid for his presence? He can make millions each day... if he chooses. Put yourself in HIS shoes next time you're at work. When you go to take a dump, remember this: "If I were Jerry Seinfeld, this shit would have cost me 6 figures!"

      Adam Sandler had only first appeared on SNL less than 2 weeks before this Costas episode aired. But he was barely in the episode. Most likely Jerry did not have Adam Sandler in mind when he made this remark.

    Interesting to see Jerry this early in his Seinfeld (show) run, before the show REALLY exploded into the phenomenon it eventually became. He still seems pretty grounded here, and not that he became a big megalomaniac, but you definitely DO feel that his ego now is DEFINITELY not the same as it was prior to the accolades (and CRAZY money!) he's since received since his show has gone off the air.....
