Jerry Seinfeld was born on April 29, 1954 in Brooklyn, NY. He developed an interest in standup comedy after a few stints in college productions. He bounced around clubs doing standup until his television debut came in 1976, on a Rodney Dangerfield HBO Special. However, it was after his his appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1981 when Johnny waved him over to sit at the interview chair after performing his material that he knew he had made his mark as a standup comedian.

He appeared four times as a guest star on "Benson" as Frankie, but was fired. He

More vowed never to do a sitcom again unless he had greater control. This chance arose in 1989 when NBC invited him to work on a sitcom which eventually became "The Seinfeld Chronicles," then "Seinfeld." This show carried on for nine years and ended because Jerry wanted the show to end while still at its peak. On Christmas Day, 1999; Jerry married Jessica Sklar and they have three kids.

    Funny man. hide show

    Well, I must say that Jerry Seinfeld was a far funnier guy when he was with the other three members of Seinfeld. But by himself, he is still a very funny guy. I think that he basically is what he is. He is a comic that thrives on nothing. That is what he does better than any other comic. On Seinfeld, he was a great main character. I thought that he was really the glue that held the show together. He was also the ringleader most of the time. Overall, he is absolutely a funny person and is one of the funniest comics ever. Thank you.

    What would the world be like without Jerry Seinfeld? hide show

    NOTHING! That's what it would be!

    Some people I know don't like Jerry Seinfeld, and I just can't imagine why. Not only did he create one of the world's greatest shows, Seinfeld, he's extremely funny and creative. So what's not to like about him?

    This guy has to be the funniest person alive today, so many people love him and I personally want to see more of his work. Should he bring Seinfeld back? Duh, but I doubt that's gonna happen. But it would be amazing if he did. At least a reunion.

    Nobody can be politically correct if they say Jerry isn't creative. End of story.

    This guy is hilarious. hide show

    Jerry Seinfeld is one of the funniest guys ever. He is just so funny and I'm so glad he made Seinfeld. This is my all time favorite show and the scripts are hilarious. Obviously the show is so good because it is about nothing in particular, just about everyday life. He is such a talented comedian and he is known world wide for his TV show. Also he picked a very good cast for Seinfeld and they each have their own individual sense of humor. I can not believe he is 53 though!! Wow Seinfeld has been on for ages.

    Jerry Seinfeld, stand-up comedian and star/co-creator of the hit show Seinfeld. hide show

    Jerry Seinfeld is primarily a stand-up comedian who is best known for his creation of the hit comedy with his namesake, Seinfeld. The show has been regarded as an all-time great and has won numerous Emmy awards, and will probably be shown on re-runs for years to come. Seinfeld's role as the main character show is ironic, because, in reality, the show revolves around the stories of the other characters even more as they revolve around Jerry. As far as acting quality goes, Jerry isn't the best. But it was his orginal ideas which helped to make the show so successful. To add to the comedy of the show, each episode begins a brief stand-up bit by Jerry usually relating in some way to the episode. Some of these clips give us a glimpse of how funny Seinfeld really is.
