Speaking of standup, fans of one of the HBO special's stars, Jerry Seinfeld, don't have to tune in to the cable channel to see him deliver one-liners. Fans can get Jerry Seinfeld tickets to see him on his current tour. Seinfeld has dates lined up in cities like Santa Barbara, CA; Oakland, CA; Fort Wayne, IN; Pittsburgh, PA; Dallas, TX; Mashantucket, CT; Las Vegas, NV; Grand Rapids, MI; Portland, ME; Buffalo, NY; San Antonio, TX and more through an August 13 date in Atlantic City, NJ.
If you do snag tickets to see Seinfeld perform his comedy routine live, don't be surprised if you can't find your keys or forget your grocery list later that week. According to a new study conducted by the University of Missouri, your memory doesn't work as well when you're in a cherry mood. MSNBC.com reports that University of Missouri doctoral candidate Elizabeth A. Martin used the standup comedy of Jerry Seinfeld to determine why it seems easier to remember the bad times as opposed to the good.
Martin and her co-author assessed the moods of 180 college students, after which point half of the volunteers watched a 15-minute video of Seinfeld's comedy video I'm Telling You for the Last Time-which was intended to make them feel good. The other (less fortunate) half, were shown a home improvement video called How Do I: Flooring. The volunteers' moods were assed after the videos and the Seinfeld viewers were happier, while the other volunteers; moods remained unchanged. All volunteers were then given a memory test and there was a clear difference between the two sets of volunteers-with the Seinfeld viewers recalling less from the memory test.
Jerry Seinfeld has also been on the road supporting his wife Jessica on her recent book tour in support of her #1 New York Times Bestseller Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food. In Deceptively Delicious, the mother of three shares her solutions for getting her kids to eat healthy without them even knowing it. Among Jessica's tricks are putting spinach in brownies and cauliflower in macaroni and cheese, according to her new health blog, also titled Deceptively Delicious.
Her husband may be one of the biggest names in comedy, but Jessica Seinfeld is quickly making a name for herself in the culinary and philanthropy realms. The philanthropist and activist is the President and Founder of Baby Buggy. The non-profit organization is dedicated to providing clothing and equipment to New York's families in need and a portion of the proceeds from sales of Deceptively Delicious support Baby Buggy.
