When Seinfeld wrapped up its ninth and final season in the spring of 1998, the popular shows namesake and cocreator decided to offer a symbolic gesture to his fans. Taped for HBO in August 1998, on the final date of Jerry Seinfelds tour appearances at New York Citys Broadhurst Theater, Im Telling You for the Last Time presents the standup comedians so-called "final" standup, or at least his final tour with the standup material that made him famous. The video opens with a great prologue in which Seinfelds old material is literally laid to rest, with many of Seinfelds comedy colleagues in attendance at the "funeral." (Jay Leno is there, but David Letterman is conspicuously absent, and while its a bit self-congratulatory to show Seinfelds fellow comedians fighting like vultures over his abandoned jokes, its worth it just to see Garry Shandling pilfering from the catering table like a homeless intruder.)
Whether hes talking about airline flights, cab drivers, or memories of Halloween and an ill-fitting Superman costume, Seinfelds observational humor is as timeless and sharp as the day he first performed it. Even the most familiar routines (such as the one about pharmacists with a superiority complex) are like old friends who still havent overstayed their welcome. Seinfelds delivery is polished to a shine--hes a consummate professional--and an impromptu Q&A with his appreciative audience demonstrates that hes equally adept with a fast and witty comeback. This performance certainly wouldnt be the last wed see of Jerry Seinfeld, but from the perspective of phenomenal fame and fortune, its a fitting farewell to the classic "bits" that took him to the top. --Jeff Shannon
