The first episode of Seinfeld aired in 1989. Thirty-five years later, the show remains at the apex of American culture. People speak in Seinfeld-isms, they flirt on dating apps over Seinfeld, they rewatch old episodes of Seinfeld when they’re feeling down. And, in the case of the Weiss family, Lou still watches it every night from 11 pm to 12 am on the local Pittsburgh station before he goes to sleep. People around the world even learn English watching
I watched this last night at 1 am (in Israel) and thought to myself, "these are my people". I loved the interview and was especially touched when they spoke briefly about visiting Israel after October 7th. I love it that Jerry is unafraid to say what he thinks and that he understands that so many things we spend time and energy on are just "stupid".
Love.hearing a great, thoughtful interview that the subject genuinely enjoyed. After doing his own interview show - I’m sure he appreciated Bari’s skill. And his response to protesters was masterful!
I paused discussion to watch “Unfrosted” film. At this moment, I am sitting in a chair that is 9 feet away from the spot my TV once occupied. On that TV in this same apartment, I watched Seinfeld during the mid-1990’s. That sitcom was easy to like. My SF neighbor, who was dating someone in NYC told me that a number of episodes focused on local NYC lifestyle challenges like the shower-faucet replacement mandated by city hall.
'Favorite person: Marcus Aurelius' enough said. That explains his career and most relevantly to this episodes question why is Jerry Seinfeld so chilled. Answer: follows a stoic
Seinfeld is on TV all the time, still, and I love watching it as well. Jerry is a treasure. The 1990s were a great time to be young and in the USA, and of course, no one realized at the time what the Internet was going to do, or what the new century would be like.
Hey Free Press! Why not start putting two and two together for a change. In one piece we read that "Americans" are less patriotic and now, Seinfeld will tell us "audiences" don't like jokes anymore. But it is just not true. There is one common factor to all of these awful people.
ALL OF THEM ARE LEFTISTS. Leftists aren't patriotic. Leftists are humorless goons. Leftists hate Israel and praise Hamas. Leftists are the problem. Your entire publication would cease to exist if leftists WEREN'T the abhorrent shitheads that they are. Why not just make it clear as day?
The system is a duopoly, the excesses of the left were too great and TFP is here to return credibility to the left. They cannot undermine the democrats, the duopoly needs two parties.
Southpark did a great episode about 'having your cake and eating it too'. America does evil, but at least the opposing party gets to moan and grieve...

Great interview Bari!

Loved this. Refreshingly honest and real. Thank you for this discussion.

Loved his commencement speech at Duke. It was excellent. Only a small number of student walked out and the rest were openly supportive

The Democratic Party of America, DELENDA EST!
Why not declare rhetorical war against the left?
