Jerry Seinfeld: What's The Deal With Worcester?
WORCESTER (CBS) -- Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is set to perform in Worcester this weekend, but first he has an important question shared by many outside New England: How the heck do you say it?
Seinfeld tweeted Thursday that he "cannot understand the spelling and pronunciation of Worcester, Mass."
I cannot understand the spelling and pronunciation of Worcester, Mass.

So I'm coming in for 2 shows Saturday night to figure it out.
Thankfully, his Twitter followers came through to offer some advice.

Jerry, it's like those voiceovers at the end of a pharmaceutical commercial. If you say it fast enough, it doesn't sound bad.
