TV Jerry's performances

I was thinking the other day that Jerry never had a successful performance on his show. He bombed when the Pilot was in the audience, when Kramer's girlfriend heckled him, at school in front of the class (or was he just bumped), when he took a dive to harm Banya, in prison,...the ex-girlfriend (cashier) did not respect his humour...

Are there many others? Were there any successful ones we saw?

When Jerry performed on Today show in LA (The Trip), he couldn't remember the word conveyor belt (or something), which of course ruined the whole performance.

In The Non-Fat Yoghurt, he mentioned that his bit about the Otomanian empire was based on putting your feet up killed.

These are the ones I came up with for the moment, but I'm sure there's more!

empire

more!

Some more? In "The Maid" he lost his voice yelling back at hecklers when performing at a rodeo.That can't have gone over too well.

He also bombed in front of Jerry's parents in "The Pen" for different reasons but there are other instances where the elderly do not seem to enjoy his sense of humor. (The English Patient)

All that said he was still successful enough to make a lot of money in "The Cadillac"

                       Elaine, with Jerry in his apartment: "Why did they
hire you for a rodeo?"
                              Jerry: "They'd heard I opened for Kenny Rogers
once."
                          Elaine: "Didn't he throw you off a bus in the
middle of Alabama?"
                                    Jerry: "Oh, I had that comin' to me."

small correction:

It was The Tonight Show, not the Today Show.

Right - there were two 1. The Tonight show - the maid lost his notes 2. The Today show - he had to wear the puffy shirt He bombed on both.

I just remembered another bomb. Remember in "The Abstinence" when Jerry performed at school after George had sex with the Portuguese waitress and lost his smarts?

home."  (Chorus of boos)

In the "red dot" the drunk guy is on his show. He talks aboat of/on the water wagon. That is quite successful.

even though they technically were "outside" of the episode, they were still the same Jerry. Also, when he had the drunk heckler, he didn't bomb, but he came back beautifully.

Jerry didn't do so well when Toby heckled him in "The Fire". She was the one who lost her toe after Jerry went to her job to heckle her. They built the whole plot around Jerry being bothered onstage and how he was driven to react.

yes there was one good performance i can remember. when elaine�s boyfriend got "on the wagon " because of Jerry and went to heckle him he made fun of him when every body in the audience was laughing...
