Comically in 'Kleined'

Here’s a little bit on Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy hero Robert Klein and his upcoming 8th HBO special. It’s an interesting article where he discusses his objections to the use of profanity in comedy and has some criticisms of Chris Rock.

And while we’re on about Jerry, here’s a review of Jerry Seinfeld live in Denver.
