Life after Seinfeld is no joke

It was the sitcom that was ahead of its time. But was it cursed when it ended, asks Noelle McCarthy

WHEN Jerry Seinfeld plays his first stand up gig in this country in the O2 on Sunday he will be master of his domain. In the broadest sense of the words obviously, because he’s an accomplished comedian, but also in the infinitely funnier, Seinfeldian meaning of the phrase.

Those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about should google ‘The Contest.’ It’s the most famous episode of the legendary show that not only made Jerry Seinfeld a pile of money, but secured his place in history. Seinfeld was a sitcom about a comedian called Jerry Seinfeld, created by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.
