I was surprised to read many stories about how Jerry is a complete jerk in real life. Has anyone else heard this? I was surprised to learn this, especially since he seems the total opposite on the show.
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading!
I never read about his being a jerk in real life. I only know he broke up a marriage and dated a teenage girl half his age.

Here are some of the accounts of real-life fans and real encounters: http://theobservationblogofpeculiarthings.blogspot.com/2011/05/jerry-seinfeld-is-arrogant-prick.html

Testimony from six people is pretty weak. But everyone's a jerk at some point. Celebrities get bothered a lot in public. I don't care if he is a jerk in everyday life. I really like his TV show and when I see his act he seems really amicable to the audience. He answers questions at the end of every performance and he doesn't even have to. He does encores and doesn't let hecklers bother him. Shrug.

I think there are people whose mission in life is to approach celebrities to see how they react.. anything but a totally pleasant experience and they're banging away on message boards crying about how rude they were treated.
Welcome to the El Flamingo, Jeffrey!
Don't piss in the pool, Jeffrey.
Back during Desert Storm, I met Steve Martin during a USO morale visit in Saudi Arabia. As he was leaving the camp, I yelled out to him "Let's do lunch sometime." He said "I'll get back to you." Here it is, 25 years later, and he still hasn't called me. I'm beginning to think that he didn't real mean that.
shareOh,for the good old days when all you needed to do in order to meet celebrities was to marry a Cuban bandleader.
shareI was at the U.S. Open last year (I avoided eating ice cream the entire time I was there just in case TV cameras were looking to embarrass me on TV). ESPN's announcer booth is right on the grounds, so you can walk right past it. Even though it's elevated, you can get close enough to interact with them when they're not doing a segment for TV. Some fans yelled over to try and get some pictures with Brad Gilbert. They took way more than the polite one and maybe a second for a backup, and even started directing him on how to pose. He was pretty polite about it until someone said they were about to do a segment for TV, so he was instructed that this was the last picture. The people argued that they wanted more than one and even tried to call their friend over who was way off in the distance. The segment producer said no and apologized. The fans started cursing at the woman who was only doing her job. "He was excited to pose for us until that bitch ruined it." Gilbert was merely being polite and I highly doubt he enjoyed posing for a dozen pictures for the same 3 people. And they blamed someone who was not rude to them and went out of her way to explain why he had to stop.
So I take any stories of fans that a celebrity was rude with a grain of salt. People often don't have the best perspective and a sense of entitlement. People are the worst.
Maybe Seinfeld is a jerk and maybe he's not. But I don't accept it as truth because a few people basing it on third hand information have said so. That being said, how could anyone not like him?
If you believe Bob Kelly, he's a bit of a jerk, yes:

That Bob Kelly story Is just another example of Bob Kelly being a complete idiot. Yeah Jerry was rude but comics are rude and blunt to each other. They don't pull punches. Kelly's complete lack of self awareness and presumptuousness in that situation is more responsible for that encounter than anything.
shareBTW that link doesn;t go to the clip, it just takes you to the You Tube main page. I have heard the Bob Kelly story you are referring to though.
shareI fixed the link, and maybe you're right. But it's still a really funny story. I think I've linked it before, saying that story could be a Seinfeld episode.

If it's on the internet, it has to be true. I read that. On the internet.

I never knew Jerry Seinfeld was a jerk in real life like how I knew Kramer is a racist in real life.

I heard that he got a girl's phone number off of an AIDS Walk list. And he jus purchased a motorboat.
shareI heard from one account that a fan heckled Jerry during one of his stand up routines, then Jerry got so pissed he climbed up the rope on the side of the stage and started dropping lights on people's heads. Story like that's gotta be true!
"Get out here, son! There's a doin's a transpirin'!!"
How can anyone like him?
"What's this lyin' around shít?"
Jerry Seinfeld is a dangerous lunatic. He wouldn't let us out of the drawers. Then he came at me with an axe.
