Jerry Seinfeld is one of those classic throwback stand-up comedians who, like Bill Cosby, still prefers to deliver stand-up standing up at the microphone before sitting down to panel chat on a late-night TV talk show. So, that’s nice. It’s funny weird but also understandable to see that Jimmy Fallon …
