News about Jerry Seinfeld

Fans are 'still amazed' over a 90s sitcom legend from a resurfaced scene of a beloved HBO series that aired for a total of 12 seasons.  The star also co-created, as well as wrote and executive produced a hit NBC series - and won two Emmys for his work on the show.  He briefly was a writer on Saturday Night Live in the mid-1980s, but later returned to the sketch comedy series to make guest appearances over the years.

Jerry Seinfeld has taken back his explosive claim that the 'extreme left' politically correct mob has killed comedy. In April the iconic comedian, 70, sparked uproar when he told the New Yorker's David Remnick that oversensitivity has ruined comedy and claimed people are now 'worrying so much about offending' people.

Jerry Seinfeld has never been shy about his affinity for the New York Mets. But it's only been in the last few years that he's expressed his love for the Israel Defense Forces, which he did again on Wednesday after the Mets beat the rival Philadelphia Phillies in Queens to advance to the National League Championship Series. Approached by a fan claiming to have a brother watching the game from the Gaza border, the 70-year-old comic happily offered a message to the unnamed person in Israel. Dressed in a Mets hat and sweatshirt, Seinfeld pounded his chest, pumped his first, and delivered. 'Let's go IDF,' Seinfeld said in the video, which went viral after being shared by a pro-Israeli X account. 'And let's go Mets!'

And actor Wayne Knight looked barely recognizable as he was seen on a rare outing in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon.

He's the US actor who played one of the most loveable misanthropes in television history.

Australian comic Jim Jefferies has fired back at American stand-up Jerry Seinfeld after the sitcom star lobbed a thinly-veiled 'threat' at him on home turf. Seinfeld, 70, was onstage at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena in June when his set was disrupted by a pro-Palestinian heckler. In response, the TV star sarcastically claimed the heckler had 'solved' the humanitarian crisis, before drawing an analogy between the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and Australia's chequered history of treatment of First Nations people.

An 89-year-old entertainer, who's been dubbed 'the world's oldest working female comedian,' was viciously sucker-punched in a random attack. Last Wednesday, D'yan Forest was walking to her gym around 9 am, when a suspected female stranger came up to her and struck her in the face on the corner of Seventh Avenue South and West 11th Street. The force of the violent blow caused Forest, who has performed alongside Jerry Seinfeld and Joan Rivers, to fall to the ground, and shortly after, the assailant fled the scene.

The comedian was performing stand-up to thousands of fans at Melbourne 's Rod Laver Arena on Saturday night when he was met with a handful of pro-Palestine hecklers. Towards the end of his set, the group started chanting 'From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free'. In response to the interruption, Seinfeld immediately hit back at the protesters who'd paid to attend his show. 'I think you need to go back and tell whoever is running your organisation: ''We just gave more money to a Jew'',' he said, as the crowd erupted with laughter and applause.

Jerry Seinfeld was called a 'hack' and a 'fraud' by pro-Palestinian protesters on Tuesday night. The legendary comedian was performing his second show at the ICC Sydney Theatre when two men stood up and began chanting 'free Palestine' while waving the Palestinian flag, in footage captured by The Australian Jewish Association. The audience quickly responded with boos and it wasn't long before the TV veteran zeroed in on the hecklers. 

Jerry Seinfeld looked downcast as he stepped out for dinner in Sydney on Monday following the death of his close friend and co-star Hiram Kasten.

Jerry Seinfeld was all smiles as he explored Perth on Saturday after landing in Australia ahead of his stand-up comedy tour.

Seinfeld, joined by his entourage, took time to wave and greet fans outside his hotel.

Jerry Seinfeld's wife, Jessica, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a rare family photo from their youngest son Shepherd's high school graduation. The author, 52, was a proud mom as she posed alongside the graduate, as well as her comedian husband, 70 - whose comments about PC comedy were recently deemed a 'red flag' by a former co-star - daughter Sascha, 23, and older son Julian, 21.  Fans also noted one detail that left them surprised about the snap, as they pointed out that Shepherd was holding a cigar in his hand. 

During a recent interview, Julia, 63, argued against Jerry's belief that 'the extreme left and PC crap' is ruining comedy, and argued that political correctness can actually be 'fantastic.'

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is pushing back against Jerry Seinfeld's recent complaint about how politically correct comedy has gotten in more recent years, compliments of the extreme left. During an interview with the New York Times, the actress argued against her former Seinfeld co-star's belief that 'the extreme left and PC crap' is ruining comedy on television, adding that political correctness can actually be 'fantastic.' 'When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness - and I understand why people might push back on it - but to me that's a red flag, because it sometimes means something else,' Louis-Dreyfus, 63, told the publication. 'I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing. I don't know how else to say it.' Louis-Dreyfus knows a thing or two about comedic TV, considering she has won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series seven times: once for The New Adventures Of Old Christine (2006-2010) and six more playing Selina Meyer in Veep (2012-2019). On top of that, she won the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series for Seinfeld (1989-1998) during her nine-season run on the legendary sitcom that starred Jerry Seinfeld in the lead role.

The anonymous donor's offering is the largest-ever gift received by the institution, and as the board chair of American Jewish University, Harold Masor, said he and his wife Amy will also donate $4.5 million to the LA-set private school. Both gifts were made in the face of fierce pro-Palestine processions that have surfaced across the US over the past several months. The donation to the Israeli school, again, was made by an unknown figure, who along with the sum, offered only the two identifying factors as to whom he may be. It will go toward advancements in technology, specifically science research, as  person responsible made a point to state he attended the school that has surfaced as a focal point in discourse surrounding the current conflict.

Jerry Seinfeld says he misses 'dominant masculinity' in American pop culture. Despite admitting that he ironically does not channel that himself in his own career, the 70-year-old comedian stressed the importance of what it means to be a 'real man.' On an episode of the Honestly with Bari Weiss podcast released on Tuesday, he spoke about his new Netflix comedy Unfrosted, which is based in the '60s, a decade he said he misses.

Seinfeld star Michael Richards revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the summer of 2018 in his upcoming memoir Entrances and Exits. The 74-year-old actor detailed finding out he had stage 1 prostate cancer in an excerpt of his book, obtained by People after a routine checkup showed high PSA levels. 'I thought, "Well, this is my time. I'm ready to go,"' he told the outlet of his initial reaction to the news. 'But then my son came to mind just a few seconds later and I heard myself saying, 'I've got a 9-year-old and I'd like to be around for him. Is there any way I can get a little more life going?'' Since his biopsy didn't look good, Richards, who reunited with his Seinfeld costar Jerry Seinfeld earlier this month, said his doctor recommended surgery to remove the entire prostate.
