Jason Alexander dropped out of Boston University that year and began an acting career. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was 2 years out of high school and 1 year away from joining the cast of SNL, where she would work with Larry David who was a writer there from 1984-85. In 1981, Jerry and Larry David had already known each other for a few years.

I like that some of the jokes are ones that he'd go on to use in his show.

Wow fantastic! He was taking about nothing from Day 1. Now I understand why he based his TV series on that concept. Weather, socks, etc. And he made it work! Good job Jerry.

I'm reading his autobiography right now and the writer talks about how compulsively Jerry rehearsed his material. Jerry apparently wasn't naturally funny(stylistically) or confident, but was an intelligent writer who simply worked harder than everybody else...and the result is....this. But watching him perform, you'd never think he had confidence issues or was someone who diligently planned every tiny little thing he was going to do on stage. He looks too natural and at ease for that.

"Why didn't they hold on to this guy when they took his picture?" So good. He was destined for greatness.

I don’t like the jokes, but his confidence and charisma are astounding. Great performer.

He always had a real way of looking at things. Not much for big laughs.. just chuckles. But he did so without cussing or putting on an act.

The reason I like Seinfeld is that he's not false. He's largely a jerk, he's damn good at what he does and he knows it and he enjoys the rewards of his work. He won't put on a face, he will not engage with fans AT ALL, because he doesn't have to and doesn't owe anyone anything, and if he goes on a talk show he's a tough interview because he's not a good time yes man. It's hard to explain, but I appreciate him for it. He's neither an intentional asshole or a good guy, and everyone still loves him. I feel like that's the goal.

ovaltine. why do they call it ovaltine?

What a great new voice for comedy. We here at NBC want to be in the Jerry Seinfeld business.

I like how it still holds up

It's amazing how polished and established his act was by the time of his debut.

No it isn't amazing. This opportunity would never be given to a comedian who didnt have their shit together...

First two jokes went unmoved by the audience they were so shook by this stranger

He creatively picks out the funny in everyday situations. Hats off

Just saw him perform in NYC last night; so funny; he has more energy than he did 42 years ago.

There's something to be said about life before the internet. It was the greatest of times.

You could see why Jerry became one of the greatest stand up comedians of all time.

Crazy how young he is with the same delivery to this day. He’s clean and finds the simple problems in the world and makes it funny.

"Steinfield" lol

that was said in one of the seinfeld episodes once.

"You go to the mall and you have twenty bucks, thirty bucks, and buy some shoes and a book..." Wow, take me back to those days.

@Žööky Wįlldé The value of the dollar was actually destroyed deliberately by the gov. Capitalism has created enough deflation that we are as comfortable as we are.

The world will always remember when we met Jerry Stienfeld!

Dear interwebs... its 2021 and I've never seen this. Thank you

5:18 Like him or not, he had insight to the demise of shopping malls

5:13 a stray laugh runs off with a stray sock!!!

I love KZread. So cool to see old stuff like this, I wasn’t even born 😂

"The weather here never changes that much...did you ever notice that"? I can't believe it! HE ACTUALLY SAID DID YOU EVER NOTICE...BACK THEN.

What's funny is a lot of people who look at this probably have no idea who the Smothers Brothers are, and of course Jerry "Steinfeld" is a legend.

That's hilarious - you should have written for Jerry.

That is a damn fine suit for the 80s

Once again the funny part was the intro. Jerry you have never let me down in being bored to tears and not once laughing at a bit you've done. Thank you I tried melatonin but you. You are the king of putting me to sleep. Not even NyQuil has your comatose power.

Also the apology is not acceptable

Imagine being at this show not knowing you're witnessing an important figure in pop culture television history

He just hits your funny bone in the right ways

He's not really funny . His words are just relatable but not that funny. Dave Chappelle though....lord have mercy on my lungs

Wow, he was good right from the start.

It's like watching him on the beginning of his show (even then). Love Jerry 💗

Just as good 40 years ago as he is today. This guy is amazing.

This guy has no shot in show business

After 30 years i still laugh my pants out. To good

2:25 The moment when everything clicked and a legend was born.

My favorite Seinfeld line is "Significant shrinkage". I love his show coffee and cars.
