Wikipedia article




'I'm Telling You for the Last Time' is a 1998 stand-up comedy special and the second starring Jerry Seinfeld. The special aired live on HBO on August 9, 1998, from the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City. It was then released as an album on cassette and CD by the same title that same year. In 1999, a VHS and DVD titled 'Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You for the Last Time - Live on Broadway' was released.

The recording was taped just a couple of months after the show 'Seinfeld' went off the air. 'Entertainment Weekly' said about the album: "On its own, the CD is a more than respectable stand-up disc; Seinfeld's riffs ... are worthy of preservation." 'I'm Telling You for the Last Time' was nominated for a 1999 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album. After recording this special/album, Seinfeld vowed never to use old material again referencing his repeated use of "bits" from 'Seinfeld'.
