The first and second seasons that will take you back to the beginning of Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld is een gevierde Amerikaanse komiek, geroemd om zijn observationele humor die de fijnheden van het dagelijks leven scherp ontleedt. Zijn baanbrekende televisie werk, dat hij mede creëerde en waarin hij de hoofdrol speelde, onderzoekt meesterlijk de absurditeiten die in alledaagse situaties te vinden zijn met een scherp oog voor detail. Naast zijn stand-up carrière heeft Seinfeld zich ook gevestigd als auteur. Zijn humoristische boeken, vaak gebaseerd op zijn stand-up materiaal, vangen zijn kenmerkende schrijfstijl. Seinfelds nalatenschap ligt in zijn ongeëvenaarde vermogen om komedie te vinden in het alledaagse en dit op een unieke en boeiende manier aan de wereld te presenteren.
The first and second seasons that will take you back to the beginning of Seinfeld
Who is Ted L. Nancy? He's a superstitious Vegas high-roller who wants to gamble at a casino in his lucky shrimp outfit... He's the genius inventor of "Six Day Underwear"... He's a stage actor who only travels while dressed as a stick of butter... He is, in reality, a twisted prankster—a supremely off-kilter alter ego who sends patently ridiculous letters to corporate honchos, entertainment conglomerates, national publications, politicians, celebrities and heads of state. His innocent requests, queries, complaints, demands, and suggestions are so absurd it is amazing they fool anyone—but often the deadpan responses he receives are even more hilarious: "Dear Mr. Nancy, It is not often that we receive such enthusiastic support for the paper bag." —The Paper Bag Council "On behalf of Greyhound, there should be no problem traveling while in your butter costume." —Greyhound Bus Lines "I look forward to working with you to create a better future for this great nation." —Vice President Al Gore Letters From A Nut is an insanely inspired, truly madcap collection of Nancy correspondence, a wet-yourself-in-a-public place funny aggregation of official—and officially certifiable—requests, complaints, fan mail and questions that could not possibly have been taken seriously...but, amazingly, were.
A humorous tale about the Halloween experience as remembered by the author himself, from bad trick-or-treat candy to pajama-like costumes, enhanced with vibrant illustrations.

"Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders," Seinfeld writes. "So I have everything I thought was worth saving from forty-five years of hacking away at this for all I was worth." For this book, Jerry Seinfeld has selected his favorite material, organized decade by decade. In page after hilarious page, one brilliantly crafted observation after another, readers will witness the evolution of one of the great comedians of our time and gain new insights into the thrilling but unforgiving art of writing stand-up comedy
