 Jerome
Allen Seinfeld, or Jerry as he later became
known was born and raised in New York City.
He is best known for his television series,
Seinfeld; where he co-created, assisted
writing and the last two shows, he was
executive producer. He is considered a
writer, actor and comedian, not necessarily
in that order. His comedic style is
observational comedy, meaning he takes the
everyday ordinary things we see, do, hear
and turns them into jokes. One thing for
sure, he is a dedicated hard worker, not
minding to do whatever it takes to get the
job done, or to achieve his goals.
His first stint into television was in the
series called Benson, where he played a mail
delivery boy that had jokes that no one
wanted to hear; and the year was 1979. Jerry
said he showed up for work one day and found
no script for him, so he gathered that he
was fired. In 1981, he was on the Tonight
Show with Johnny Carson and was a great hit.
He became a regular on the show, as well as
with David Letterman and Merv Griffin. Jerry
created and starred in the Seinfeld
Chronicles in 1989 but was changed to
Seinfeld later so as to not confuse it with
the short lived sitcom Marshall Chronicles.
By the fourth year, 1993, it was the most
popular sitcom on TV. It finally left the
air in 1998, but even today, it still is
watched through syndication. Jerry said that
his show was patterned after the fabulous
50s sitcom, Abbott and Costello. His mother
and aunt have told him long ago that
although he was funny, he would never be as
funny as his dad.
After leaving the show, Jerry decided to go
back to stand-up rather than continue on in
movies or television as most of the other
comedians have done. He went on the road
with his comedy special I'm telling you for
the last time in 1998. The way of making and
creating new material for his act were put
together in a 2002 documentary entitled
Comedian that also included fellow comedian
Orny Adams. Jerry has written books about
his past routines and continues to bring his
humor to television and shows. He appeared
in 2006 on an episode of Saturday Night Live
with friend and fellow co-star from
Seinfeld; Julia Louis-Dreyfus. During 2007,
Jerry appeared on the 79th Academy Awards,
30 Rock and Larry King Live where he was
insulted because Larry didn't have all his
facts straight about the way Seinfeld ended.
In 2008, Jerry appeared as the voice of
Barry from the Bee movie at the 80th Academy
Awards and made a tour. He was involved with
some ads for the new Microsoft Windows Vista
and then the ads were stopped. This year it
has been announced that Jerry and his old
cast mates will be appearing in an HBO
series called Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Seinfeld has been associated with numerous
books about him that he did not write,
although the authors of those books have
never been seen. One, Ted L. Nancy wrote
Letters from a Nut and Ed Broth wrote
Stories from a Moron. Some people believe
they were written by Jerry using pseudonyms,
but he won't say. He did attend a toast for
the Ed Broth, but Ed never showed. His wife
has been filed on by a lawsuit in 2008,
where Missy Lapine stated that Jessica
Seinfeld plagiarized her cookbook about
getting children to eat good food. Missy was
accused of trying to get publicity for her
book by the Seinfeld's lawyer, but there
didn't seem to be a resolution.
