so it goes for that titan of comedy, jerry seinfeld. 6, seinfeld has halted his sold-out, standup tour due to covid. his latest successful show, "comedians in cars getting coffee," is also on hiatus. like many of us, he's been sheltering at home with family. but that hasn't stopped him from doing what he's always done: helping himself to life's absurdities and meticulously spinning them into comedic gold. the observational comic, almost by definition, sees the world differently. we spent a day in september with seinfeld and found out how he sees things in the year 2020. >> jerry seinfeld: hey jon. >> wertheim: nice to see you. greeting jerry seinfeld can be uncomfortable under normal circumstances... do one of these? >> jerry seinfeld: i don't-- i don't. that doesn't do anything. >> wertheim ...then you factor in covid. >> jerry seinfeld: no more handshakes, no more hugs. >> wertheim: you're not into the elbows? >> jerry seinfeld: nah. it's-- it's a poor substitute. >> wertheim: are you seeing comedy in this mess? >> jerry seinfeld: i di
