Jerry Seinfeld's new stand-up special is a precisely tooled and precisely funny piece of work from a comedian who mastered his craft decades ago but never stopped working on it. It's also a throwback to an older form.

With his trademark cheery crankiness, the comedian holds forth about going out, getting out and dining out - and even performs a stunt.

So much of 23 Hours to Kill could be pulled right out of the interstitial comedy-club scenes on his 30-year-old sitcom, and there's joy in seeing an older pro still earning big laughs.
