Comedy Central named Jerry Seinfeld the 12th funniest comedian of all time on its list of 100, which almost makes up for the fact that the network is solely responsible for Tosh.0. If you don’t know who Seinfeld is and how good he is at doing it, there’s really not...

Comedy Central named Jerry Seinfeld the 12th funniest comedian of all time on its list of 100, which almost makes up for the fact that the network is solely responsible for Tosh.0. If you don’t know who Seinfeld is and how good he is at doing it, there’s really not much I can do for you … except tell you that Seinfeld deserves every bit of his legend status. He’s a perfectionist, a consummate professional and someone that even Steve Jobs admired. His humor is smart and entirely relatable, and he’s bringing his latest show to the Winspear Opera House (2403 Flora St.) at 7 and 9:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets start at $69 and are available now at attpac.org. If you want to brush up on Jerry’s bits, head to jerryseinfeld.com where every day he posts three of his favorites from the past. We’re talking way back, when his hair was as puffy as that one shirt.
