Comic legend jerry seinfeld brings a sports-like simplicity to marriage with his new tv show. introducing, for the first time, the marriage referee. starring couples who fight funny

So what do you and your wife Jessica fight about? And what annoys you about her?

There's only one thing. I don't think it's a good enough issue for the show but whenever we go to the theatre I get very nervous about being late because I'm a well-known person and I hate to go into the theatre late.

Is she habitually late?

No, she's not. But I get anxious and if she's just a couple of minutes late, I always go, 'It's the theatre. Why do we have to do this?'

You seem to have a healthy, funny perspective on the way that marriage goes and fighting. What does love mean to you?

Love means commitment and that you accept that it's normal to fight and what we want to do on this show is show it's even funny. I look forward to that point and I hear about people that have been married a long time, that they start to fight and then they start laughing at each other. That's the ultimate point.

Have any of these couples given you any material for stand-up acts?

Oh, all of them. Yeah. But mostly I like to get it from my own marriage.

So your tenth wedding anniversary was just last week?

Yeah, last week.
