In the interview with Bensinger, Seinfeld talked about his career and enjoying his family life.

“I was a very successful comedian. A comedian is an in one act. You think "I don’t need anyone." That’s what a comedian thinks. This is not a good partner,” Seinfeld reflected.

“Someone who doesn’t think they need anyone isn’t a good partner. This is why most comedians either fail at marriage or don’t even try it… it’s really not for us. I wanted to do it to see if I could do something I’m really not cut out for.”

How any children does Jerry Seinfeld have?

The 70-year-old talked about his three children, Sascha, 23, Julian, 21, and Shepherd, 18, whom he shares with wife Jessica, per DailyMail.

“Kids are the greatest show on earth, you just want to watch them live. And the entertainment value of watching them try to live is…The kids are very entertaining because they're primitive humans,” he said.

Earlier, Seinfeld said that 'oversensitivity' on TV killed comedy in many ways.

“Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it so badly and they don't get it,” Seinfeld said on New Yorker’s Radio Hour.

Jerry Seinfeld says his most recent comedy special will likely be his last

Jerry Seinfeld shared that he won't be doing comedy special for long now.

Talking with the New Yorker, he said, “I think comedians now try so hard to be all new all the time, I think the quality suffers because none of us are really that good. A great comedian working his ass off his entire career writes two good hours, the rest is…”

The comedian just turned 70 on Sunday, April 29.
