[@litigioussociety4249]

He has said he wears contacts now. He probably wore glasses at the time, because he was going for the geeky comedian look that was popular in the 70s.

[@kma5699]

That's what Lloyd Braun said too. Just to prove it Jerry wore those coke bottle glasses where he couldn't see anything and thought someone was making out with his girlfriend but it was really a police woman petting her horse.

[@iplayloud2]

I thought Jerry had never been younger than he was in the first Seinfeld season.

I feel like Jerry looks like a scrawnier version of young john travolta

[@duke0219]

@ottawa3453 it’s funny you say that because I always thought Travolta and Seinfeld had a resemblance, like they could be cousins or something.

[@gutobernardo7457]

It's amazing how he already got the same precision in timing and rhytm as today. I would have thought he developed it slowly through the years. That's why he's the greatest standup comedian of all times!

[@rnash999]

I had to check and he had done some open mic stuff some time in the last two years of college and as this is one year after that he, at most, has three years experience with the third year being the one he did the most work.

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

One of the best by far

[@Jive33]

I disagree. His comedy is so boring. I’ll never understand the hype. Love the sitcom, hate the standup.

[@uncleelmer]

Jerry Seinfeld has a genuine quality that comes out. Watching this clip is like time traveling back to 1977. It's easy to see why Jerry Seinfeld got so popular. However, the years of all the fans telling him how great he is and comedy clubs kissing his butt to have him "drop by" has supersized his ego and the Jerry here in 1977 has long faded away.

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

He’s kind of annoying in interviews these days. All ego, no personality. Arrogant and boring.

[@MrJames-tw3so]

It's sad eh,with all that fame and money comes quite a big price. You can't relate to the everyman and I think at some point they don't even want to anymore. You make a really good point sir,one I kinda wish I didn't learn.
