Z & G were lucky enough to have a chat with US comedian and writer for Seinfeld, Fred Stoller.

Fred tells us all about how he got his start in stand-up in 1978, in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC, where he started with Gilbert Gottfried, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David.

Z & G learn about Fred’s part in the film “Dumb and Dumber”, where he ad-libbed the scene right before getting punched in the face.

The Laugh Out Prouders get to hear about the crazy trials and tribulations of Fred opening for Norm MacDonald.

Fred talks about writing on Seinfeld in depth, having the daily trouble of tracking down Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld to pitch them episode ideas, writing for the ’94-’95 season of Seinfeld.

Z & G hear about how Fred wrote his book “Maybe We’ll Have You Back: The Life of a Perennial TV Guest Star” and his two Kindle Singles, “My Seinfeld Year” and “Five Minutes To Kill: How the HBO Young Comedians Special Changed the Lives of 1989’s Funniest Comics“
