Goofs
While joking about landing at LaGuardia Airport, he mentioned having to go through customs. As a native New Yorker, he should know LaGuardia is not an international airport in the sense there is no U.S. Customs office there. (They DO land international flights there, mostly from Canada, but those passengers are pre-cleared before boarding the planes.)

Quotes
Jerry Seinfeld: I was SO nervous that night, because I was showing them this whole side of myself. It was like my little gay closet moment, ya know, where I had to say, "Mom, dad, I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm a funny person. And, uh, I don't wanna be ashamed of it any more, and I wanna lead a funny life style, now. I wanna be with other funny people, I wanna have breakfast at two in the afternoon."
Jerry Seinfeld: And the other thing was meeting girls - in the bar, out there. That was a new thing, to, because comedians sometimes have a little difficulty in normal social situations. I can do THIS, for some reason. And I always felt comfortable doing what I'm doing right now. I can talk to all of YOU, but I can't talk to ANY of you.
