Seinfeld Drops Funny Act for Family
Jerry Seinfeld was no Good Samaritan on his NBC sitcom, but when the comedian's real-life son was hospitalized, Seinfeld dropped everything to be by the boy's side.
The wise-cracking multimillionaire postponed a sold-out show in Spartanburg, South Carolina, last weekend after his year-old son Julian took a nasty tumble.
Seinfeld rushed home to New York City Friday night to be by his son's side in the hospital, according to a statement from publicist Elizabeth Clark.
The resilient toddler has since recovered. "Julian is at home and is doing very well," the statement said. "Jerry's tour will continue this weekend as scheduled."
Audiences who missed out on the funnyman's routine last Saturday night will be able to redeem their tickets on Nov. 13.
Julian, who made his world debut last March, is the second child for Seinfeld and his missus, Jessica Sklar. Their daughter, Sascha, who had a brief cameo on dad's Comedian documentary, was born in November 2000.
When not making boo-boos better, Seinfeld has been busy touring, working on the upcoming DVD release of his hit sitcom and taping a Curb Your Enthusiasm cameo for former colleague Larry David.
He's also inked a deal to write, produce and star in Bee Movie, a computer-animated feature-length cartoon for DreamWorks. The film isn't expected in theaters until 2006, ensuring a slow but steady dose of Seinfeld over the next couple of years.
