Which comedian performed the 1998 special I’m Telling You for the Last Time?

Jerry Seinfeld performed the 1998 special I’m Telling You for the Last Time.

The special documented Seinfeld’s return to stand-up after the end of Seinfeld, the sitcom he co-created and starred in. It was recorded during his 1998 tour and presented material designed as a final performance of jokes from his earlier comedy career.

The title refers to Seinfeld’s stated intention to retire that material after the tour. He later continued performing stand-up, so the phrase describes the planned farewell to that particular body of jokes rather than the end of his career.

The special is distinct from Comedian, the 2002 documentary that followed Seinfeld as he developed new material. It also differs from his earlier 1993 special I’m Telling You for the Last Time? The 1998 title is the recognized release title.
