Jerry Seinfeld’s First Selfie

“Seinfeld” was first on a lot of the things: the Yada Yada, the salad craze, the social anxiety and neurosis that come with close talkers, high talkers and low talkers, and of course, the prescient pirate shirt (“The shirt of the 90s!”).
But curiously enough, Jerry Seinfeld has been late to the selfie.
The comedian is currently on vacation in Greece with his family, and it seems he has finally made the leap. His wife Jessica, who has been documenting the trip on Instagram, posted the following image yesterday, with the caption: “Jerry’s First Selfie. Ugh. Stop. #greeceistheword.”
Behold, and stand in awe:
Welcome to the selfie-verse Jerry! We can’t wait for the next one — a reunion selfie, perhaps?
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
