...behind him. He retired the material in a limited Broadway engagement, I'm Telling You for the Last Time, in August 1998. One night he invited a woman he had met at the gym, Jessica Sklar, to his show. In his current act, Seinfeld jokes, "I was dating for 25 years. Do you know how exhausting that was? Do you know how much acting fascinated I did?" But Jessica, whom he calls a "neighborhood girl," actually did fascinate him.

...While Seinfeld was busy starting a family in New York City, Hollywood kept calling. He was never tempted to return to sitcoms. "When I was done, it was like, I can't touch that again," he says. "Who wants second best?" Plus, he says, "television is for young people who want to put their whole life into something. I'm way past that point." He admits he occasionally stops on Seinfeld while flipping through the channels ("I watch it now, and I go, 'Oh, now I see why they liked the show'"). No, he says, dollar signs do not flash...
