Jerry Seinfeld: 'Immaturity Is The Key To My Comic Success' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Funny man Jerry Seinfeld credits his phenomenally successful career as a comedian to his immaturity. The 53-year-old admits he's always been juvenile, and that this is the reason why he's had so much success.

He tells Parade magazine, "I wouldn't even call myself a full-grown adult until probably my late 30s. What most people are at 25, I don't think I became until I was 38. I think there's a certain naivety that I have, a kind of juvenility that is really one of the keys to comedy."

I agree with that assessment - the episodes of the show were built on very silly, juvenile ideas.

I have Seinfeld's I'm Telling You For the Last Time CD, which is hilarious. Lots of juvenile humor there.

I'm 40 and I feel that way about myself!
