Jerry Seinfeld Interview: Behind The Comedy | NBC News
Seinfeld is not autistic. He shouldn’t come on national t.v. and self diagnose. Maybe ADD, but he is not on the Autism Spectrum. Many comics are literal. They use words to get their message across. That is what a stand up comic does. They also pay attention to everything around them. That is how they get new material. Human observation. Joan Rivers and George Carlin, were two of some of the best. They observed and retold the story in a funny way. Lewis Black and Chris Rock are two good stand up comics. They observe. I wish I could say I thought Seinfeld was funny, but I don’t.
Bag Obeans You can’t diagnose people from a far and most people born after the diagnosis became official in the DSM as a spectrum outside for mental retardation weren’t given the opportunity to find out earlier on. He may be high functioning and lucky enough to have learned enough healthy coping skills on his own to become successful in life.
Marie with an E : He might definately be somewhat autistic. Look at his “acting”. I agree with the rest of your comment . 👍
He’s still one of the greatest comedians of all time and you can’t deny that.
That’s not true
“Imagine him trying to tell us how to make television.” Brian Williams, you can be funny at times.
Are you the brother of Tor Ekman? The genius Holistic Healer that made George’s face purple? 😀
👍😆 L.O.L.!!!
I’d like to sit and chat with Jerry in that exact same bar
brian williams is lying. its all a joke.
bullshit. you see those tits on Shoshanna? He also lives in a mansion. Since when did people with autism poke beautiful teenage girls with big titties and live in mansions counting their millions?
+Mike Adams There’s a scale for how autistic you are. Say from 1 to 20, Seinfeld is maybe a 7-9, while most people is around 1-3. But you have a point none the less. His intelligence see’s through that little autism he has in himself, he’ able to analyze it and sometimes counter it on the go, so it’s not very noticeable.
that’s bullshit and you know it. Jerry is just neurotic. I’m not on the autism scale and look good but I’ll never fuck a girl like that. Jerry was smart enough to hustle his talent that made him a fortune. He also had the charm to get a gorgeous young girl with killer big tits. Jerry Seinfeld does not have autism!
Vebjørn Sandvik he needs to be diagnosed prior to declaring that. a lot of people “feel awkward” in varying circumstances. It doesn’t make them autistic. I know there is a range but he should not be self diagnosing. autism is devastating for those who truly suffer with it. We can all cherry pick elements of disorders that we exhibit. that does not mean that we actually possess the disorder. I have felt “depressed” at times in my life. I do not have clinical depression. there is a difference.
What a cool guy!
2:05 the prove God exists! How can THAT be a coincidence?! “What are the odds of that?”
Thats such a good sixty…
Autistic! Just like me.
this clip got unexpectingly funy at the end lol Jerry would lough his ass off, but the presenter was serious )))
loved the end
enjoyed the clip until he mentioned being autistic. he needs to be diagnosed by a professional prior to declaring something like that. autism is a devastating disorder that goes beyond “feeling awkward” in certain public situations.
Weaver Kris Thankfully it’s a spectrum and so is not always devastating. High functioning autistic can live wonderful benefits and rewarding lives achieving incredible success. I was diagnosed by others before diagnosiing myself and then getting an “official” diagnosis from a psychologist. I think its great that he said it.
love that show comedian drinking coffee
Not autistic, just introverted.
Since NBC news is a joke you ought to let Seinfeld tell you how to run it.
I heard after the interview Brian Williams got into a huge brawl with some street toughs, needless to say Brian took care of them all. He then thwarted disaster as he was being shot upon by enemies in the area. His chopper took some fire, but he got out just as the airstrike hit. True story. I heard Brian say it himself.
Rob02150 great comment lol
Comedians in cars getting coffee….. is making me thirsty!!!
Absolutely phenomenal comedy and tact on the anchor, and especially the editors of this 5 minute piece of news. That last second was great
he wasnt telling you he was suggesting, big difference nbc
Seinfeld had a great show if not the best! But hes not a great stand up comedian.
Ah, but HE thinks he is. The problem to me with his stand up is that, before he was hugely successful, he was relatable. Now his bits seem condescending.
New spin off idea: Bowlers in Bow-ties taking Bong-hits. Banjo players in Boats eating Bananas
newman..
He didn’t become a comedian to make money and be ultra famous. That’s obvious as he still does the purest form of comedy:stand up. You can see other great comedians and how they are now that they’ve made it to the top, Eddie Murphy, one of the funniest guys of all time started out so hot and gradually got less and less funny as time went on…….
I love Eddie’s comedy more than Seinfeld’s but I have so much respect to Jerry Seinfeld for never giving up stand up even though he easily could’ve made millions more through his show (while guys like Eddie Murphy and formerly, Steve Martin, retired). He’s the richest comedian ever but continues to tour the country to play theaters and try out new material in small comedy clubs. Nothing but respect to Jerry Seinfeld.
So that’s why he asked David Letterman to show him his entrance!
Can he see a perpetual rainbow also?
This was so good! Jerry, I told my mom the other day, I have acute autism. I am a 45 year old successful woman and I always new there was a little so something there. Jerry we have similar personalities!
Jerry where’s your hair?
I don’t mean wears your hair. its not beware your hair.Anyware you are losing your hair
it’s not funny anywhere🤭
God made
Him special
For the love
Of humor.
“Not one for big introductions…”
*makes video mostly introduction*
i Think he has ADHD – He can only do what he loves.
Was just crying * Need laugh
Seinfeld is stupid. Not funny. There are thousands of people more funny than he is. I call it luck.
