Seinfeld is back, baby! … Doing standup that is.

For the first time since 1998, Jerry Seinfeld will take to the boards for five nights of standup this fall in New York.

So why is the mega-rich sitcom star stepping out on the town? He’s giving back to the city that made him:

“I was born in Brooklyn, went to school in Queens and started out as a comedian in Manhattan. I feel like New York City taught me how to be funny. I’m so excited to perform a special series of shows for my beloved home town.”

Seinfeld will perform the five shows, one in each borough of the city, on consecutive Thursday nights (Must See TV night… get it? No—ask your parents.) from October 4 to November 8 with a little support from SNL alum Colin Quinn.

With Jerry back on stage might a sitcom return be far behind? We say “Giddy Up”… Tell us what you think.
