Just wanted to throw this out there. Me and my advisor decided to sit and clean out all the old files from our office since no one touched them for years. It was hilarious, we found stuff in there from the 80's. So I open up this folder from 1980 and guess what i see .....

A letter from an agent asking us to book Jerry Seinfeld to do a comedy show on our campus. Hahaha!

I sat there in shock!! He actually was asking us to come to our campus to do a one hour college comedy show. My advisor (whose been doing this for awhile) said, well it happens. You never know if the $1000 comedian you got yesterday, down the line, will turn into a famous TV star.......

Yea, I know, everyone gotta start somewhere, but damn...it was hilarious. I even found his old pic...I was saying we should blackmail him with it (just a joke) but the damn guy look exactly the same, hahhaha!

On a side note, we found similar stuff for Bill Cosby, Tom Brokaw and all sorts of other famous TV people...hehe

The agent was probably Kathy "I don't want you to freak out Jerry, but I got you an assemblee!"

Nah, wasn't talking about comedians...i just meant we found a bunch of famous people in general.....If I find the booklet again, i'll post up all the ones we found. Maybe I can find something on Jason Alexander or Mike Richards or something. After all, Jerry Seinfeld was there.....maybe there's other famous Seinfeldians in there?
