Seinfeld celebrates its 30th anniversary this month, and that show about “nothing” still gives us plenty to talk about. We pay tribute by sharing behind-the-Seinfeld-reporting tidbits from throughout our careers, some insights from Jennifer’s experience writing and touring with her bestseller Seinfeldia, alternative theories about the polarizing finale (spoiler: we actually love it), and some thoughts about its TV comedy descendants such as Barry and Veep. Plus we recommend some of our favorite ways to keep exploring the Seinfeld-verse, online and IRL.
