Later she tried performing at New York's Comic Strip and was introduced by emcee Jerry Seinfeld. 2Career Leifer is a stand-up comedian, writer, producer and actor and has been involved in such television shows as Seinfeld, It's Like, You Know..., Alright Already, and The Larry Sanders Show.

You're giving me the ‘it's not you, it's me’ routine? I invented ‘it's not you, it's me.’ Nobody tells me it's them not me; if it's anybody, it's me.
When you control the mail, you control...information.
Cushman: I gotta tell you, you are the complete opposite of every applicant we’ve seen. Mr. Steinbrenner, sir. There’s someone here I’d like you to meet. This is Mr. Costanza. He is one of the applicants. George Steinbrenner: Nice to meet you. George: Well, I wish I could say the same, but I must…
I don't know how you guys walk around with those things.
Boy, a little too much chlorine in that gene pool.
Is it me, or was that the ugliest baby you have ever seen?
They're worse! They're much worse than us, they talk about everything! Couldn't you at least tell her about the shrinkage factor?
Sure, I like a cupcake every now and then, like everybody else. You know I like it when they have a little cream on the inside, it's a surprise. That's good, plus the chocolate ones are good, too. Sometimes I just can’t even make up my mind. A lot of times I’ll mix the two together, make a vanilla…
You're luscious. You're ravishing. I would give up red meat just to get a glimpse of you in a bra. I’m terribly sorry.
I don't even know what, what is supposed to be attractive about fur? Why does a man want to see a woman in a fur? Men want women to shave their legs, shave their armpits, pluck their eyebrows and then before we go out, we dress them up like a bear.
I tell you, when she threw that toupee out the window, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I feel like my old self again. Totally inadequate, completely insecure, paranoid, neurotic, it's a pleasure.
I got rejected by a bald woman. A bald woman rejected me. Heh, you like that one? A woman with no prospects and no hair told me that I wasn't her type. Apparently, Baldie likes a slimmer guy.
Elaine, do you know what you've done? You've give hope to every woman who's ever said, ‘Too bad he's gay.’
It's not a lie... if you believe it.
You think you can get him to just change teams? He's not going to suddenly switch sides. Forget about it.
Then in the distance I heard the bulls. I began running as fast as I could. Fortunately, I was wearing my Italian Captoe Oxfords. Sophisticated yet different; nothing to make a huge fuss about. Rich dark brown calfskin leather. Matching leather vent. Men's whole and half sizes 7 through 13. Price:…
Oh, understudies are a very shifty bunch. The substitute teachers of the theater world.
So, my dear, you think you can get to Broadway. Well, let me tell you something. Broadway has no room for people like you. Not the Broadway I know. My Broadway takes people like you and eats them up and spits them out.
No one is touching my feet. Between you and me, Elaine, I think I've got a foot odor problem.
