The special aired live on HBO on August 9, 1998, from the Broadhurst Theatre in New York City.

In 1999, a VHS and DVD titled Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You for the Last Time - Live on Broadway was released.

Entertainment Weekly said about the album: "On its own, the CD is a more than respectable stand-up disc; Seinfeld's riffs ... are worthy of preservation."

Mourners include fellow comedians, George Carlin, Robert Klein, Garry Shandling, Ed McMahon, Paul Reiser, Jay Leno, George Wallace, Larry Miller, and Alan King.

The American Comedy Awards nominated Jerry for the Funniest Male Performer in a TV Special and the Directors Guild of America Awards nominated Marty Callner for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Musical/Variety.
