Jerry Seinfeld Returns to Colosseum

LAS VEGAS -- (Press Release) -- Due to overwhelming demand a third show has been added to Jerry Seinfeld's December 26 - 27 engagement at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace (NYSE:PPE). The additional show will be Saturday, December 27 at 11 p.m. Tickets for this engagement are now on sale at the Caesars Palace box office and are priced at $75, $95, $110 and $150 (excluding applicable tax & handling fee). Tickets may be purchased with a credit card through Ticketmaster at 702-474-4000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com. Friday and Saturday early shows begin at 7:30 p.m.

"Seinfeld's popularity is tremendous, and the high demand for tickets is not surprising to anyone," said Caesars Palace president Mark Juliano. "To see a performer of Seinfeld's caliber in the intimacy of The Colosseum makes for an unforgettable entertainment experience, and we're extremely pleased to add an additional show to this engagement."

Recently hailed as "the master stand-up comic of his generation" and "the best comedian of our time" in a recent Washington Post article by Tom Shales, Seinfeld has an uncanny ability to joke about the little things in life that relate to audiences everywhere.

Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Jerry Seinfeld grew up in Massapequa, Long Island. In 1976, he went straight from college graduation to an amateur night try-out at New York's Catch A Rising Star comedy club. He continued to perform in local clubs until his career was boosted by an appearance in a Rodney Dangerfield HBO special in 1976. His stand-up career took off after successful spots on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" in 1981.

In 1989, Jerry Seinfeld co-created and filmed the NBC pilot, "The Seinfeld Chronicles" for Castle Rock Entertainment. The show later turned into the now classic television series "Seinfeld." The last episode aired in 1998, after nine extraordinarily successful years. He was recently seen in the critically acclaimed documentary film "Comedian," which closely examines the birth of a comedy act and offers a window into the details of backstage life and the challenge of making people laugh. The DVD of "Comedian" with footage and commentary by Jerry

Seinfeld and the producers hit stores earlier this year.
