Back in 1957, comedian Don Adams, later famous for his role as the bumbling Agent 86 on TV’s Get Smart, took to the stage on the Steve Allen Show. Introduced as “one of America’s brightest new monologists,” Adams started his set with a bit about the development of “a new car that’s powered by electricity.” He said it would cost about $5,000: “$1,000 for the car and $4,000 for the extension cord.”
This week Netflix unveiled Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill, his first major televised comedy special since 1998’s I’m Telling You for the Last Time. It was recorded at New York’s Beacon Theatre in 2019, a time can all agree was the Distant Past, and that showed in some of the out-of-date jokes. Then a bit about restaurants, which segues into a joke about baseball hotdogs, leading into a discussion of going to the movies, and then back to restaurants and the buffet table.
And to be fair, the rest of the show is pretty fun, especially if you’re a fan of Seinfeld’s signature crankiness. He takes on texting, the U.S. Postal Service, porta-potties, aging and marriage. He describes the latter as being on a game show, but forever in the lightning round.
Never thought Seinfeld was funny.

But this is TorontoIf we can’t take a bit of a chance on 12 acres, it doesn’t bode well for the many hundreds of other acres in this city begging for redevelopment This is hog town see Agreed.

I’m happy though, we have our own tech to build smart cities that have much more experience than google 20 years later same TO council would still be debating whether or not to go ahead.
