In my 24-years-on Earth I’ve realized there are two types of people: Seinfeld fans and absolutely horrible people. Well us Seinfeld fans have something to be very, very excited about and that is ‘Jerry Before Seinfeld,’ a new Netflix stand-up special.

We’ve all seen stand-up specials, but this one is going to be different. WE GET TO SEE SEINFELD’S NOTEPADS AND CHILDHOOD VIDEOS. Oh, and it’s going to be two different hourlong specials.

Here are some details, via Hollywood Reporter:

The hourlong special, titled Jerry Before Seinfeld, will see the comedian return to New York City’s famed The Comic Strip — the club that helped launch his career. The set will be interspersed with never-before-seen material, including an extensive library of legal pads containing every joke Seinfeld has written since 1975 as well as childhood videos. As part of his set, Seinfeld will perform the jokes that helped ignite his career.

This is going to be nostalgic as hell and the world is going to smile during every single second of it. Well, those people that like Seinfeld, those that don’t will be busy being bad people.

Netflix has been big-time teasing the special over the past couple of days on Instagram uploading pictures of his notepads and all sorts of videos.

UPDATE: Netflix dropped a lengthy teaser trailer on Aug. 29 and the show looks so good:

The first installment of the special will hit Netflix on Sept. 19.
