What's the deal with Jerry Seinfeld? Prime-time TV's favorite comedian left the world of Soup Nazis, picky dating and coffee shops in his past and is now back to pursuing his stand-up comedy career. And after viewing his show last night at 7 in Eisenhower Auditorium, I think most would agree: he's still got the touch.

Seinfeld started off the night energetically, running on stage looking clean-cut and familiar in his black suit and light blue tie. "Yes I showed up," he said. Seinfeld commented on his sitcom, joking that he used to try to get audiences to stay in and watch TV, but now he's trying to get them away from the TV and out of the house.

This was Seinfeld's first time in State College, and he had the audience reeling right from the start with his impression of Penn State.

"I mean, it's named after a pen," he said. "It coulda been a pencil, but no -- it's a pen. You can't even erase it!"

The comedian went on to crack the audience up with a hilarious stint about how out of hand the news has gotten. "There's news on the news," he said commenting on the annoying bar at the bottom of the screen that's constantly scrolling headlines. "Don't they realize that we're watching TV because we don't want to read? Don't they understand?"

Seinfeld classically paused before moving onto the weather. "I do not understand the intense human interest in the weather," he said. "People ask, 'Can you believe this weather?' and I want to say 'YES I CAN!' "

The comedian commented on many everyday things, including his mother's fear of air vents, the out-of-control coffee craze ("I'll have a half-caffeinated mocha choca yaya," Seinfeld said), and his late-night obsession with cookies.

"Cookies are the most challenging opponent at night," he said. If you're inside it's like they're the Trojan horse. You know they're there, and they know you're there. They name them after cute things like elves, but really they should be called Chocolate sons of b----es." And right from sweets to the gym the comedian said, "I don't think it's the actual going to the gym that people have a problem with -- it's standing up. I think we're slowly growing into chairs."

Seinfeld joked about many forms of communication in general. "E-mail is the lowest form of human contact," he said. "It's like, I don't want to see your face, I don't want to hear your voice. I could have called, but I didn't. I only want to hear my half of the conversation." Seinfeld, 50, married five years ago and has two kids, and said he's happy to be married. He filled the audience in on his secret to marriage.

"The key is to make your wife happy," he said. "Cause you're not going to be happy, no matter what. And ladies, if you own and operate a man, the secret is to just leave him alone. They want nothing more -- men are like extremely advanced dogs."

After leaving the stage to a standing ovation, Seinfeld came back because "he felt that he kind of knew the audience now and had formed some kind of relationship" and answered some questions.

Seinfeld has a cartoon movie in the works about bees, and said that there is definitely a possibility for a Seinfeld reunion. "Once all four careers are in the toilet, we'll have a reunion. And we're working on it," he said.

The comedian left the stage after fulfilling one audience member's request when he said, "Hello, Newman."
