JERRY SEINFELD
BIOGRAPHY
Born April 29, 1959 in Brooklyn, New York and raised in nearby Massapequa, Jerry Seinfeld began his comedy career the very night he graduated from Queens College; struggling throughout his early years, Seinfeld often performed for free in order to hone his skills, working by day in a variety of odd jobs which included selling light bulbs over the phone and hawking fake jewelry on the streets. His breakthrough arrived when he was tapped to serve as master of ceremonies at the famed New York City club the Comic Strip, and soon he was also regularly performing on the west coast.
In 1980, Seinfeld was cast in the sitcom Benson, but was fired after just a few episodes; he returned to stand-up with a vengeance, and a year later made his first appearance on The Tonight Show, winning over host Johnny Carson. Countless appearances on other chat shows like Late Night with David Letterman followed, and as his notoriety as a performer increased throughout the decade in 1987 he signed to star in his first TV comedy special, the HBO production Jerry Seinfeld's Stand-up Confidential. In 1990, NBC executives approached the comedian about starring in his own sitcom; teaming with fellow stand-up Larry David, Seinfeld conceived a show about "nothing" -- in other words, the small wrinkles of everyday life, from Superman to breakfast cereal, which for years had provided the fodder for his stage routine. NBC, far from convinced, agreed to produce only a miniscule four episodes.
Premiering in 1991 under the name The Seinfeld Chronicles, the show was an immediate critical hit but fared poorly in the ratings; known as simply Seinfeld from its second episode onward, the series gradually gained momentum, and NBC agreed to an order of six more episodes, followed in its third year by 13 more. Complete with one of the greatest supporting casts in TV history -- Jason Alexander (the neurotic George, inspired by Larry David), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (the brassy Elaine) and Michael Richards (nutty neighbor Kramer) -- Seinfeld gradually emerged as a cult hit, and with David at the show's creative helm it became one of the most acclaimed series on the air; with its infamous creed of "No hugging, no learning, the program broke new ground, its plots absurd yet grounded in contemporary life and its characters perverse and self-absorbed yet immensely likable and engaging.
By 1993 both Seinfeld and its titular star were media sensations -- not only did the show win an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, but Seinfeld himself took Best Actor honors. After the series concluded its run in May 1998, with a finale which was among the most watched events in TV history, the comedian also announced his intentions to retire all of his old stand-up material with a world tour culminating on Broadway; the performances yielded his first ever comedy album, I'm Telling You for the Last Time, released that fall.
