Jerry Seinfeld says he’s “adjusted pretty comfortably” to his new life in quarantine.<\/p>\n
“I think there’s something to be said for not socializing,” he tells Weekend Edition. “It’s kind of a rest for your face and your fake emotions and your repeating the same stories.”<\/p>\n
Seinfeld’s new standup special, 23 Hours to Kill, starts streaming May 5 on Netflix.<\/p>\n
He jokes in the special: “I could be anywhere in the world right now. Now you be honest. If you were me, would you be up here hacking out another one of these?”<\/p>\n
Talking to NPR, Seinfeld says he actually loves hacking out standup bits. It’s just a joke….<\/p>\n
“Humor is of the greatest value in times like these,” he says. “Humor is an essential survival quantity, I think, of human life. I mean, I’ve been seeing some stuff about these nurses and medical professionals and these horrible units where they’re losing people so regularly. And I heard this one nurse say, she said, ‘You cry for a while and then you tell jokes.’ And that seems like the most human you can be.”<\/p>\n
