    I’m not sure Jerry Seinfeld has ever been funny. He’s more of a straight man for people with actual chops like Michael Richards.

    He reminds me of those 1950s post vaudeville supper club comedians whose sets were all the same.

      The show was good because of Larry David and the rest of the writers. People just assumed Jerry was funny by association.
