Jerry Seinfeld: Larry David, stoicism and filming 'Unfrosted' | Full Interview

[@Superdisco199]

The best thing about unfronsted is all these new Seinfeld interviews. Always equal parts creative process and philosophy. So much to learn from him.

No pretense? He acts like he’s normal but he doesn’t forget he’s one of the richest comedians to ever live.

I like the few celebrities that never lose appreciation for their position in life. They don’t take their talent for granted.

IDK but you seem gullible and just licking all over his body like a housefly. Jerry would take you out as soon as he was aware of you. 🪰

[@c-p1976]

Seinfeld is hands down my favorite sitcom of all time! It never gets old!

[@susanheinz5804]

It still makes me laugh the 3rd or 5th time!😆 I always said there’s a Seinfeld episode for nearly every situation in life! I love learning something new behind the scenes, like Jerry Stiller not being the first Mr. Costanza. And how he decided to play it differently than the more subdued character Larry and Jerry had written. When they heard the audience laughter they went with it. It was brilliant. I recently read the number of Kramer’s funny entrances. It was over 100. He got too many laughs and threw off the timing of the show.

[@Batterybus]

But the finale was horrible.

[@jmp01a24]

There's never been such a popular tv-show with a bad actor as Jerry. His stand-up material was never THAT funny and look how he failed at his own project coffee & cars. Seinfeld was Larry's jokes + hired writers to do the good stuff. Larry IS funny and have proved it with curb. Seinfeld has aged into an old tired: "there were good people on our side, send the others to the ☢camps" kinda guy.

so many nights I have relied on old Seinfeld episodes to reset my bad day. his humor is very unique.

[@alanvallazza9781]

When I want to laugh it's one of the big shows I put on. It's up there with the likes of I love Lucy, Beverly Hillbillies, Sanford and Son, The original Night Court, Everybody Loves Raymond, Jefferson's. when I laugh I put on one of those.

[@Latigo]

There was a time in my life i was so lost and depressed. Seinfeld got me through those tough times.

[@DoggmaticProductions]

Definitely my stress relief too. My hubby puts it on for me if I've had a trying day.

[@jmp01a24]

Dull you mean? Yes, I agree. The show was the other characters. Mr. Stiller, Kramer, George + that angry medium aged woman and the guest stars... But yes, I found it amusing too back in the day. Jerry was already then a bit annoying with his constant bickering about the smallest things.

[@carlafilla3031]

The description of the timing of syllables is genius. I love that he brought this out in the interview.

[@EasyGoer-e3z]

Jerry Hit The Nail on The Head With "Energy"...Energy Certainly is LIFE....What a GREAT Down to Earth HONEST Interview...Thank You Jerry For Being Who and What You are

[@hd9ek]

This is one of the best Seinfeld interviews I've seen.

[@SeaOfMadness]

Love this. Rarely seen him interviewed like this. On the few occasions I've seen him chatting on the red carpet or talk shows etc. he came across as not particularly likeable. As a die-hard Seinfeld fan that was always weird. Now, seeing him relaxed and serious, talking about his craft and deeper subjects is fantastic - Really enjoyed it. He's got a so much more to say beyond just comedic material. All of the insight into what it takes to do comedy as effortlessly as he can, and his outlook on everything is absolute gold and frankly just makes me love Seinfeld (the show) even more, if that were possible.

[@artmaltman]

I watched Unfrosted last night. I had read that “either you love it or hate it”. I LOVED it. Fell off my chair laughing a few times, which *never* happens. I think it is brilliant. I especially loved seeing Seinfeld style comedy with no commercials and no laugh track. Melissa McCarthy is gold. So is Hugh Grant as a Shakespearean actor playing the role of Tony Tiger “Grreeaat!” And so many other wonderful recognizable comics and actors. Some of the humor is baby boomer stuff, perhaps, such as the imitation of Walter Cronkite.

[@TheCapedWanderer]

I loved it too, also fell outta my chair. It’s all about the jokes with Seinfeld and the jokes were a riot. “Excuse me, I was serious about the 1940s question...” “Can ve jast move onn?”

[@susanheinz5804]

When I heard Hugh Grant would be Tony Tiger I just don’t see him in that role. I have a decades long image of Tony and he sure doesn’t have a British accent! I’m going to watch it this week. Glad to hear it was so funny after reading mixed reviews.

[@MS-bs8dd]

Ok, now I’ll prob sign up for Netflix for a month to see it. He’s my generation. Am liking a deeper look into his mind. He was my impetus decades ago to learn TM and I never regretted it eve tho I practice less regularly now. Still, it was a great technique to learn from a certified teacher.

[@cassidybb10]

Might be the best interview ive seen with Jerry yet. Especially since Unfrosted.

[@JonathanLopezUT]

I watched this guy for years growing up, but I never recall an interview with him. Longest I've seen him get interviewed was on a late night show. Thanks Graham!

i ran into jerry in nyc and as a ny're the unwritten rule is to treat them like any other person you see in nyc, ignore them :) but i got to stand next to him and his wife and overheard him speaking to her a few minutes. He is an authentic person - he talked about the things you would expect to hear from him and in true seinfeld style made fun of and drove a stake into the absurd with good old logic. One of the coolest celebs i ever "met".

[@beckyandrus3977]

Yes absolutely!!

[@chrisrasku2261]

Everyone on Seinfeld was funnier than he was. That is why they are still acting, and he is not. He has to make up his own shows that really are not funny. His driving around was only relevant because of the guests.

He says that TM, lifting weights and Expresso or something similar are VERY important for him. To keep him MINDFULL. For me, it's introspection, cardio and energy drinks.

The genetic component to a persons humor profile is a super good point Jerry makes. Love how he credits his pops to being a true key to his delivery and wit.

[@Latigo]

Can't believe Graham does not believe that. He thinks comedy is just something you learn. I mean, you can and should learn how to write/produce humor, but if you lack the genetic component, you're going to be a Bania of sorts.

[@thebigcheese5114]

Those stories about just those two people from his past that pushed him to pursue comedy. I still remember a friend from high school telling me he admired my ability to go after what I want, which is driving me till this day about 8 years later.

Like or dislike, Jerry Seinfeld is in a different league than most entertainers.

Congratulations, Graham, on a great interview!

I learned alot more about him and his philosophy on life- fascinating stuff. I’ve never heard of you until now, but if this interview is any indication, I will be keeping my eye out for more from you and your channel. (Don’t know if you’ll even read this, as popular as you are, apparently, anyway thanks again and great job!)

[@frankwatts3374]

SEINFELD absolutely the best sitcom ever! I'll watch season one in the same order it ran from season 1thru to season 9. and like a fine bottle of wine it gets better with age. what's hard to believe is the shows been off for 26 years but it still seems like it was just a few years ago that it was on. and like Jerry said he turned 70. Im so glad we've had Seinfeld to watch all these years where it never gets old!

[@thomasbomortino839]

Before this morning I was not aware of Graham Bensinger. I am now a subscriber. What a great interview with Seinfeld. I cant wait to see more of Bensinger.

[@JFairhart]

I can relate to Jerry in many ways. I have practiced meditation since 1988, so I get what he’s talking about. His ability to capture the essence of things is displayed here concerning the benefits of meditation, but there is of course so much more to be discovered by consistently practicing meditation. But his emphasis on energy is the salient point in this venue. There is a lot more to unpack from this interview, but this is not the time or place to do so. All I’ll say is the interaction with creativity is an uplifting endeavor and to share it with others is as rewarding a life as there can be. Still enjoy hearing George yelling: JERRY!!!

Great interview!

[@bg-ij9uc]

7:10 Jerry paints a clear picture of the fright a comedian feels walking onto a silent stage. It's something we all have thought of and suspected but watching and listening to Jerry express it, does wonders to drive the point home. I'd have a heart attack if it were me, for sure. Kudos to all comedians who got up on stage and did it, first of all, and then went back again and again. There ought to be an award for the very act of doing your act. But it's like Jerry has been saying on this latest circuit promoting his movie Unfrosted, where he has learned the philosophy of working on the craft as what counts, and not whether or not people validate you. Still though, that doesn't diminish the reality of the fear newbie comedians must experience going up under the spotlight. After all, no one wants to be hated, disgraced, or humiliated either. Bravo on an exquisite career, and hats off to all in your footsteps. It's a damn hard job.

[@veritas6335]

Benign neglect was a parenting philosophy in the 1950s - I grew up then as well and have heard my parents, whom I adored, use the same expression. As kids we all had a fabulous childhood of exploring and adventure and putting on plays and Christmas caroling and riding bikes and playing kickball and hide and go seek on the front lawn. I only saw my parents at breakfast and the family dinner every night. Then homework and walking to school again the next day. Summers were a magical time of tree houses and swimming races and building rafts to sail on the creek.. It was suburban, not urban, and classic Americana. It was Camelot.

I noticed it as well. I saw another interview as he is promoting Frosted and noted that he has the head bobble of someone on meds for Parkinson’s. If he has it , I’m sure it won’t slow him down. Watched all of the Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and was very entertained when he had a good interview. Those videos really made me appreciate the beauty and history of classic cars. He really does his research and puts in extra effort. Good mule, Artemis. Pull that cart! 😅
