Jerry Seinfeld - A Comedy Legend’s Systems, Routines, and Methods for Success | The Tim Ferriss Show

[@HunchbackJack]

Outstanding interview. I’ve seen a lot of Seinfeld interviews, but never have I heard him talk so much about the craft of writing comedy and performing standup. He was really relaxed and opened up, and seemed to enjoy the interview. Really well done.

[@changeyourself3404]

This is the most insightful of all interviews I’ve heard I’m a big fan of Jerry as a comedian and now all I can say it’s that I’m also a big fan of his work ethic. Thanks Tim for sharing this with all of us! Really appreciate it

[@samuelvilz]

Don't mind me, just pasting timestamps for myself here: 00:00 Introduction 02:15 Sponsors 07:35 How did the book The Last Laugh: The World of Stand-Up Comics by Phil Berger enter Jerry’s life, and what made it so influential to him as a high-schooler who didn’t do much reading outside of comic books and magazines like Esquire? 11:41 How is Jerry’s writing technique similar to that of fiction writer and past guest Neil Gaiman, and how has it changed over time? What did Jerry learn very early on about the importance of writing in his chosen career as a stand-up comedian? 18:42 What’s the real wellspring of ideas that Jerry spins into comedy gold, what is typically the enemy of this wellspring, and what lifestyle choice did he make that almost ensures the well never runs dry? 21:05 To understand Jerry’s micromanagement approach to steering Seinfeld for nine seasons on network television (and why this turned out to be his limit), imagine it as a boat. 24:51 Did Jerry look toward any role models when deciding to step away from this massively successful creative endeavor on a high note? 26:01 Is the irritability Jerry credits as a wellspring of material actual dissatisfaction, or just more of a sensitivity to notice what others might overlook in the moment? 28:23 Jerry says there was a lack of discord among the cast of Seinfeld, which seems to be a rarity - especially for a comedy ensemble that lasts nine years together. To what does he attribute this lack of discord? 32:17 Why Jerry considers “systemize” a valuable part of his personal operating system, and how he’s trying to instill it in his own kids to apply it to their own projects. 36:23 What are the main lessons Jerry would try to convey if he taught a class on writing, and how does this tie in with the methods he used to get back in shape later in life? 38:43 On feedback and why Jerry never shares what he’s written for at least 24 hours. 41:23 Does Jerry solicit feedback from fellow comics when he’s finished a stand-up set? 42:29 If a reward is crucial for a writing session, does Jerry have a self-reward for completing a stand-up set? 43:17 As a beginning comedian, did Jerry have a long-term career plan? 44:23 What kind of audience feedback from a set would, for Jerry, beat the reward of an ice cream sundae? 47:49 Aside from writing sessions, what other routines does Jerry consider imperative to his well-being, and how often-and for what kind of duration-are they followed? 52:27 How learning to nurture your creative self is akin to parenting, and why Jerry believes that “pain is really knowledge rushing in to fill a void at great speed.” 53:56 Aside from his aforementioned daily routines, is there anything else that helps Jerry stave off or mitigate depressive episodes? Would he agree with other comics who fear seeking help for depression because it might rob them of the mechanism that gives them their best material? 56:24 Does Jerry have any favorite failures that set him up for later success? 1:01:14 What happened when Jerry went from writing three days a week to seven? 1:03:00 How many times did Jerry rehearse his set before appearing on The Tonight Show for the very first time? 1:03:13 Why does Jerry think Mitzi Shore, The Comedy Store owner, gave him such a hard time? 1:06:40 On self-sufficiency as a seemingly rare commodity in the world of comedy (except among those who are in it for the long haul), and how Jerry has maintained his constitution beyond his years through gamification. 1:11:14 Has Jerry applied this gamification to creative or professional projects? 1:14:22 Who comes to mind when Jerry hears the word “successful?” Maybe survival is the new success. 1:20:21 What would Jerry’s billboard say? 1:21:51 Parting thoughts.

what a great interview, Jerry even says let's go on ask me more questions - we hear things here I have not ever heard from Seinfeld, and some really great advice to take seriously

[@arberbuci]

The last couple of weeks I watched all of the "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" and was completely blown away by the intelligence, observations and alertness of Jerry Seinfeld. I thought - wow, this guy is someone who knows but is to modest to brag about it. These interview confirms for me the genius that is Jerry Seinfeld! (And of course, Tim is great interviewer too!) The series he did with Comedians in Cars are priceless - no school, workshop or anything will teach you things about comedy and more, better than these conversations!

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

I started watching it way back thinking that I was not going to be able to stand him for 10 minutes. And I was so happy to be wrong. He seems so grounded so generous and so present. He’s a very interesting person.

[@edouardocastillo]

This further proves the point that success is not an accident. You hear Seinfeld being a comedian with the discipline, goal setting, tracking, habits of an athlete.

@Marcus Straya Perhaps he didn't enjoy the show Seinfeld (which was amazing btw) OR perhaps he meant that he was wrong about not being a fan and realized that Seinfeld has some good things to say despite not being a big fan of the man or show before.

I first saw Seinfeld in 1979, he came in second in a young comedians contest; I went to school the next day and did all his bits. I've been watching his career all these years so believe me: if I tell you this is one of the best that's out there, you can take that to the bank. BRAVO.

"Just work" the cornerstone of craft. As a personal note I've been a huge fan of Jerry and his show since I was a little kid, kind of hard for me to believe that this is still him, he has not lost his pacing even as a casual human being.

[@CindyAronson]

This is a fantastic interview. Jerry Seinfeld has always been the standard of excellence for me (and not just in comedy.) I teach professional development and use him as an 'A-Excellence' example often. While I applaud his words that 'anyone who gets up there and does it, wins' ('it' being standing up in front of strangers to make them laugh), I think we can all agree that some comedians appear to be lazy about it and some, like Seinfeld, clearly deliver their A-game to every audience knowing ultimately it's their own brand on the line whether they are playing Madison Square Garden in front of thousands or small cities and theaters in front of a few hundred. Seinfeld brings his best always and it is appreciated, inspiring and so influential. No wonder he's still killin' it at 66...and now 68!! Mitzi Shore was wrong about him....or maybe spot on right? Perhaps she too saw excellence in him long ago and knew her treatment would fuel his discipline for making it big with excellence and longevity. Thank you Jerry Seinfeld - your commitment to your craft teaches all of us, in every kind of profession, to do the same.

[@TheScottGillies]

@39:00 “Here's a fine point of writing technique that I'll pass along to you writers out there: Never talk to anyone about what you wrote that day, that day. You have to wait 24-hours to ever say anything to anyone about what you did, because you never want to take away that wonderful happy feeling that you did that very difficult thing that you tried to do that you accomplished it. You wrote. You sat down and wrote. So, if you say anything, it's like the same reason - you ever heard the thing like? - you never tell people the name you're gonna give the baby, 'til it's born. Because they're gonna react, and the reaction is gonna have a color, and if you've decided that that's gonna be the baby's name, then you don't wanna know what anybody else thinks. So I will always wait 24-hours before I say anything to anyone about what I wrote. So you wanna preserve that Good Feeling. 'Cuz if you - Let's say you write something and you love it. And then, later on that day your talking to someone and you thought, 'hey what d'you think about this idea blah-blah-blah' and they don't love it. Now that day feels like 'ugh, I guess that was wasted effort'. So you always want to reward yourself. The key to writing, to being a good writer, is to treat yourself like a baby, to be very nurturing and loving, and then switch over to Lou Gossett in, Officer And a Gentleman, and just be a harsh prick ball-busting son-of-a-bitch, about: That is just not good enough, that's gotta come out. Or it's gotta be re-done or thrown away. SO flipping back and forth between those two brain-quadrants is the key to writing. When you're writing, you want to treat your brain like a toddler, it's all nurturing and loving and supportiveness, and when you look at it the next day you want to be just a hard-ass. And you switch back and forth.”
