Jerry Seinfeld will never do another television show because he likes using Cheerios coupons too much. That might be oversimplifying the situation a bit, but according to the man himself, eating cereal is one of the things he loves, and that thing would be disrupted too much if he were to produce/star in another sitcom.
Jerry, no longer the bachelor he played on the hit 90s sitcom that bears his name, now has three kids and he recently told a crowd at one of his live shows that his morning ritual of pouring four bowls of cereal – one for him, and one for each of his kids – is one of those things he really appreciates and is unwilling to sacrifice.
Besides, the 57-year-old says that another show is unnecessary because “I’m old, I’m rich and I’m tired.” Seinfeld’s new life – the kids and the fact that he’s been married for 12 years now – might provide plenty of new material if he were to do another sitcom. It already provides the material for Jerry’s standup act.
“A lot of wives complain about their husband not listening,” Seinfeld said to the crowd of his latest sold-out performance. “I have never heard my wife say that.”
The comedian also continues to find humor in the world as he observes it – Cialis commercials, Pop Tarts, standing ovations, and 5 Hour Energy (“meth-lab Hawaiian Punch jello shots”) were also punch lines at the show.
But Seinfeld also assured his audience that as long as the world continues to be weird – presumably, forever – even all the Cheerios coupons in the world won’t stop him from asking questions, making comments, and telling jokes. It’s nice to know that some things never change!
