Review

Given Jerry Seinfeld's longtime popularity, it's surprising that I'm Telling You for the Last Time is his first comedy album; taped during a brief run on Broadway during early August of 1998. The record is the final document of the famous routines which originally shot him to fame on the club circuit -- classic material he retired permanently at the conclusion of his tour. While many of the gags will be familiar to anyone who regularly followed Seinfeld's long-running sitcom or saw his countless talk-show appearances, the sheer cleverness of his observations and the mastery of his delivery breathe life into even the oldest riffs; his bits on subjects ranging from air travel to supermarkets to fashion are timeless, and it's a treat to finally have them preserved on disc. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Professional reviews

I'm Telling You for the Last Time was a 1998 stand-up comedy special 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 by the same title, and a VHS and DVD titled Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You for the Last Time - Live on Broadway.

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, Jerry Seinfeld vowed never to use old material again referencing his repeated use of "bits" from Seinfeld
