A new TV show centered on Jerry Seinfeld will reportedly include something remarkable and a little bit hard to believe: legal pads containing every joke Seinfeld has written since 1975.
Netflix noted the legal pads in an announcement for the show, “Jerry Before Seinfeld,” an hour-long special that rolls out on Netflix Sept. 19. The show presents a stand-up appearance by Seinfeld at The Comic Strip, a club that helped launch his career.

I follow him and write as an amateur. I have been told I am Hilarious. I love the concept of comedy writing like Jerry.
