Am I the only one that finds it odd that about a quarter of the blurb on his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee section is about his response to some blog criticizing him about not having enough non-white comedians? As far as I can tell the show was just supposed to be conversations with comedians he's met over the years not some representation of all comedy in America. No information about this criticism is found on the Comedians in Cars wikipedia page itself and the blog (the vulture) has no wikipedia page of its own. Hardly notable in my opinion, I mean if you had to sum up what Comedians in Cars Getting coffee is in four sentences I don't see why one of them would be about some blog criticizing him.
Let's change the photo
Hello! I don't think the title photo is very pretty. We have a more appropriate photo from 2019 (3 years newer than the one we have now). The page will look like this:
Jerry Seinfeld

Birth name

I'm fine with the new one. I'm just wondering if there's a reason it hasn't already been used, given it's four years old. Does Misplaced Pages favour close-ups of subjects' faces for infobox images? Seasider53 (talk) 11:54, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
The article currently states:
"In 2013, Seinfeld was offered $110 million by television executive Warren Littlefield to make another season of Seinfeld. He turned it down because he felt the timing to continue was not right."
The $110 million offer was in fact made in 1997 not in 2013 - this is well documented. The Youtube video that is used to reference this text does not suggest that the offer was made in 2013. 80.43.78.155 (talk) 03:44, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Talk more about the Jerry Seinfeld being booed and walked out
As part of the college protests across America and in the world, in Duke University, when Jerry Seinfeld spoke at the commencement for Duke University, he was booed by graduates and some even walked out due to Seinfeld's support for Israel. Correditor56 (talk) 15:32, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
More notable than 90% of the article, random one off events where nothing of note happened or him buying a car for instance 75.118.14.101 (talk) 10:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
We have an entire section on which coffee machines Seinfeld likes! Of course, adding his political opinions to this article is relevant.VR(Please ping on reply)
Factual Errors / Discrepancies
“In May 1993, days after his 38th birthday, Seinfeld met 17-year-old Shoshanna Lonstein in Central Park.”
Seinfeld was born April 29th, 1954, so he would’ve been 39 in May 1993. But most sources say he was 38 and she was 17, so perhaps they met before May. Either way, that doesn’t matter, but the current text is just mathematically impossible and should be fixed. 2600:4040:50FD:A200:4598:B8F0:99EF:8E8D (talk) 14:08, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
