About this listen

You'd know Fred Stoller if you saw him. He has appeared on practically every great sitcom you've ever seen - Everybody Loves Raymond, Friends, and Murphy Brown just to name a few. But he has never been a regular on a series, always the guest star. He longs to find a showbiz home. Instead, he is a television foster child, shuttling from show to show in the vain hope that one will finally agree to keep him. My Seinfeld Year tells the hysterical and bittersweet story of what happened when Stoller finally got a shot at the showbiz stability he'd always dreamed of - as a staff writer on one of the biggest television shows in history.

I enjoyed the book very much. Growing up and living far away from New York, having never been there, it’s fascinating to listen to Fred’s story, as told by the man himself.
Like a character out of the show!
Keep your head up brother!

Entertaining and fun :)

This short memoir is perfect for lovers of Seinfeld. I found it so interesting to hear these anecdotes of behind the scenes, and the heartache of the writers that went into designing every episode.

Some fun stories mostly about Fred's time on the Seinfeld writing team. Seemed like a tough crowd.

What a fantastic quick story!

I really enjoyed this because there didn't seem to be any padding or fat on it. Stoller gets straight to the point and his time at Seinfeld is the majority of the book. The stories that inspired some of his writing were wonderful and it was great to hear some of the inner workings of the comedy powerhouse.

I listened to this as an audiobook. I always enjoy audiobooks more when they're read by the author, and this was no exception. Stopping short of calling Stoller's read a 'performance', his tone and voice added comedy where there was none, and extra in the funny parts.

Closer to a long podcast than a book in my mind, this is a perfect 'reset' button on your reading/listening program. There aren't really any nuggets of wisdom to make you feel better or superior to others, but it's a really great time with Stoller who you begin to feel for as a friend.

Fantastic book - editors take note: I'd rather read 100 great pages in total than 100 great pages punctuated by 200 average/fillers. More of these please!

short, sweet and funny!

This is a very funny and interesting book. A unique insight into the inner workings of Seinfeld and a very unusual fellow.

Anyone who enjoyed Seinfeld will enjoy this funny, sincere and self deprecating memoir by Fred Stoller, it’s a great peek behind the curtain of a classic tv show. It’s clear working with a group of socially awkward and ambitious artists was challenging. More broadly, Stoller’s account of life working as a stand up comedian on the road is vivid, entertaining and a little depressing,

Funny, great insights

Such a warm endearing podcast, it genuinely feels like a heart felt story, albeit a crazy reality that most people would never relate to but kind of should do because really….how insane is “Hollywood” tv life?? It makes no sense and sounds horrible to navigate despite it superficially sounding so glamorous….treating people with kindness and respect should be a given, not based on how famous or privileged you are 🙄
I loved this podcast 💙💙
