00:00Making a rare red carpet appearance was Jerry's family, wife Jessica and his
00:04three children, sons Julian and Shepard, along with daughter Sasha, all supporting
00:09his big directorial debut. I got every comedian friend that I that was
00:13available. We have 15 different stand-up comics and all these great actors. It was
00:18amazing. Also there for support was Jerry's friend and comedy legend Jay
00:22Leno and wife Mavis. Jay was recently granted a conservatorship over his wife's
00:26estate due to her diagnosis of dementia.
00:36Jay celebrated his 74th birthday Sunday, one day before Jerry who turned 70. I
00:43know you don't like to plan fun but what did you guys do and did you have fun? We
00:46just we had a big pizza dinner because that's my favorite thing. Jerry's other
00:53favorite thing is Pop-Tarts, his new Netflix comedy about the race to create
00:56the perfect breakfast pastry in the 60s. I believe we have split the item of
01:01breakfast. Now the whole family is here, do they share your love of the Pop-Tart?
01:05Oh yeah, yeah. I mean we don't eat them all the time but they're always in the
01:08house, always been in the house. Your go-to flavor? Brown sugar cinnamon. And
01:13the one flavor you will not do? Any other flavor. Jerry's next family event will be
01:18speaking at Duke University's commencement. Julian is a student there
01:21while Sasha graduated last year. Jerry revealed the news in a funny video. Don't
01:25they usually talk about getting a job and then yada yada yada? Hmm, interesting.
01:31Well, do you have any idea who could give a speech like that? Hmm, I do. How do your
01:39kids feel about that? I think they're looking forward to it. I'm gonna try and
01:43explain to them, don't ever do something in life that you don't like.
