Jerome "Jerry" Seinfeld (Yiddish סײַנפֿעלד), born April 29, 1954, is an American actor, writer and comedian from Brooklyn, New York.
Straight from graduation at Queens College, Seinfeld tried out at an open mic night at New York's Catch A Rising Star in 1976. Soon after, he was appearing in a
Rodney Dangerfield HBO special.
Seinfeld had a small recurring role as "Frankie" on the Benson sitcom in 1979, but was abruptly fired from the show.
A few years later, in May of 1981, Seinfeld made a highly successful appearance on
Johnny Carson's Tonight Show
. Seinfeld then became a regular on similar shows, including Late Night with David Letterman and the Merv Griffin Show.
Seinfeld created
The Seinfeld Chronicles with Larry David in 1989 for NBC. The show was later renamed simply Seinfeld and became one of the most popular and successful sitcoms on American television. The show left the air in 1998. As of 2004, the show was still receiving heavy airplay in syndication. The show also starred Saturday Night Live veteran
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, as well as
Michael Richards and
Jason Alexander.
In 1998, Seinfeld went on tour and recorded a comedy special entitled "I'm Telling You for the Last Time". An album of the same name was also released that year, and it featured samples of his stand-up performance.
After his sitcom went off the air, Seinfeld returned to stand-up comedy. The process of developing new material was chronicled in a 2002 documentary, Comedian, directed by Christian Charles. Jerry Seinfeld has written a few books, mostly archives of past routines. Though he has never admitted it, Seinfeld is also widely believed to be the ghostwriter of the popular Ted L. Nancy book series.
