Jerry Seinfeld Tickets – Seinfeld Reveals Author Of ‘letters From A Nut’

Recently, comedian Jerry Seinfeld let fans in on a little secret. He finally revealed who was the behind the series of best-selling humor books Letters From a Nut. Speaking on the Today Show, Seinfeld dispelled rumors that the elusive Ted L. Nancy was actually himself and introduced the real author as friend and collaborator Barry Marder. Marder helped write Seinfeld’s stand-up routines on his sitcom and also co-wrote the 2007 animated flick Bee Movie. He conceived of the book idea in 1995, when he started penning crank letters to companies and governments, waiting for replies back. The correspondence turned out to be the basis for his very first book. Seinfeld provided the forward, claiming that he found the hilarious letters and had no idea who Ted L. Nancy was.

Finally, though, Seinfeld decided it was time to let the cat out of the bag and let Marder receive the credit that he deserved. Seinfeld spoke to Matt Lauer on the Today Show, saying, “He is the guy who really created [the books]. He’s written all the letters, he created the character. There’s a lot of people on the Internet claiming credit for it, and that started to bother us.” Check out the Letters from a Nut series and also see when Seinfeld is scheduled to perform a stand-up gig in a city near you. Jerry Seinfeld tickets are now available on StubHub.

Jerry Seinfeld is also heading to Broadway with pal and fellow comedian Colin Quinn for a 11-week performance of Colin Quinn Long Story Short. The show is set to start on Oct. 22 and will be directed by Seinfeld. The satirical production recaps 2,000 years of human history in about 75 minutes. According to the show’s press release, “The moral of the Long Story Short is that the greatest empires of history, like most people, have a basic approach to life and never really change, even if it is clearing leading them to ruin.” Long Story Short will run at the Helen Hayes Theatre in New York City.

Ever since the completion of the Seinfeld sitcom in 1998, Jerry has kept himself busy with stand-up routines, films and television appearances. In addition to collaborating with Marder on his books and directing a Broadway show, he also has an upcoming appearance on the calendar for next month. On Nov. 13 he and Bette Midler will headline the opening gala at the National Museum of American Jewish History on Independence Mall.
