Cool of Jerry to share an embarrassing moment like that at the end.
-
Well, in Norms defense, he does look insane.
-
Being heckled by someone with a polite British accent has got to be the worst
-
"Is this your first gig?" line from an audience member was actually pretty funny.
-
I've done stand-up a few times, I've ranged from really bad to okay. Seeing Jerry Seinfeld struggle like that in 2002 after he had been a comic for at least 25 years and all his success made me feel waaaaaaay better about myself.
-
Eddies story is great. "Oh, you a comedian huh?"
-
I think Kramer bombed the worst..
-
I love it when Jerry genuinely laughs. I will never get tired of hearing Eddie laugh and Norm is hilarious!
-
I was a standup for 7 years and did a gig in the Bronx in a room literally under the highway overpass. A rapper with a boombox on his shoulder went before me. I was the only white guy in the place and about half way through my set, it became Midnight at the Apollo as the room erupted into an arm-waving chant, “You done! You done. You done!” The club owner, fearing for my safety, slipped me out the back door and escorted me to the barbwire fenced parking lot. He handed me a wad of cash and said, “Get out of here.” It was the most money I ever made for a set.
-
Watching Jerry "forget where he was going" made him SO HUMAN and relatable. I do that all the time.
-
Wow - to see Jerry Seinfeld - the quintessential American comedian - bombing in front of an audience in 2002 - not even close to the beginning of his career!! He's "Seinfeld" from the TV show by this point. It makes me realize just how difficult it really is to get up in front of a live audience and do stand up.
-
oh man.... "is this your first gig?" damn jerry. ouch
-
The older Norm McDonald gets the more he's looking like a Russian grandmother.
-
There's a real stream of consciousness thing happening here...
-
“This your first gig?” lol...Jerry totally should’ve just laughed at that.
-
It actually was a lot of fun to watch Jerry bomb, but now i want to see it before he was famous. It's funnier when the crowd isn't on their side.
-
Legit, that story John told at the start is the funniest thing I've heard him say.
-
"Younger Seinfeld" He was like in his 40s then. Lol
-
This is what's so great about standup - the most experienced comedian in the world sometimes delivers their best bit and it bombs, and sometimes they can f up their own material and the energy of the audience keeps the show entertaining. I guess all live entertainment with an audience is like this
