Album Notes
Includes material from Seinfeld's HBO special of the same name.
Solo performer: Jerry Seinfeld (spoken vocals).
Recorded at The Broadhurst Theater, New York, New York on August 6-9, 1998. Includes liner notes by Jerry Sienfeld.
I'M TELLING YOU FOR THE LAST TIME was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Spoken Comedy Album.
By August of 1998, when this concert was recorded for broadcast on HBO, Seinfeld had rung down the curtain on the most popular sitcom of the decade and earned enough money to buy Jason Alexander a different toupee for every day of his life. As I'M TELLING YOU makes clear, no matter how big a pop culture icon he'd become, Seinfeld's roots are in standup comedy, and he still knows how to make a live audience bust a collective gut. His natty, neurotic urban Jewish shtick is far from new, dating back at least as far as the Catskills comics of the '50s, but Seinfeld puts a decidedly '90s twist on his humor. Tackling everything from the female orgasm to the medical profession, Seinfeld puts contemporary society on a satirical skewer, enabling listeners to simultaneously identify with him and laugh at themselves.
Industry Reviews
...On its own, the CD is a more than respectable stand-up disc; Seinfeld's riffs on airplane bathrooms, Halloween masks, pharmacists, and supermarkets...are worthy of preservation... - Rating: B+
