Jerry Seinfeld’s First Selfie

By Anne Cohen June 18, 2014

“Seinfeld” was first on a lot of the things: the Yada Yada, the salad craze, the social anxiety and neurosis that come with close talkers, high talkers and low talkers, and of course, the prescient pirate shirt (“The shirt of the 90s!”).

But curiously enough, Jerry Seinfeld has been late to the selfie.

The comedian is currently on vacation in Greece with his family, and it seems he has finally made the leap. His wife Jessica, who has been documenting the trip on Instagram, posted the following image yesterday, with the caption: “Jerry’s First Selfie. Ugh. Stop. #greeceistheword.”

Behold, and stand in awe:

Welcome to the selfie-verse Jerry! We can’t wait for the next one — a reunion selfie, perhaps?
