Jerry Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld is a very "old-school" comic. He is very clean and likes to point out
the differences in views between males and females. Also he likes to point out the little
things in life like when you get the check at a restaurant on top of other things. Personally
he is one of my favorite standup comics ever and his style and how he points out the littlest
details about everyday life is unmatchable.
Early Carrer
Seinfeld first developed an interest in shortly after graduating college, he performed at
open-mic nights at comedy clubs in New York and soon developed a small following. He had
many minor roles in some tv shows mainly being the 70's sitcom "Benson". He would not get his
"big break" until he started doing sets on talk shows such as; The Tonight Show with Johnny
Carson, Late Night with David Letterman, and The Merv Griffin show throught the 80's and he
would not truly reach stardom until later in the decade.
Seinfeld
The self-proclamined "show about nothing" had it's pilot episode in summer of 1989 and spanned
for a decade until it's final episode in the Spring of 1998. It has had a total of 180 episodes over 9 seasons
and has won over 40 awards including 10 Emmys 3 Golden Globes and 6 SAG awards. The 2-part series finalie of the show

for the last 4 seasons and has claimed the top of the chart in 3 seasons. Currently seinfeld is on the list of top
syndicated programs at number 3 again behind M*A*S*H.
Film Carrer
Seinfeld's movie carrer has been rather short but very sweet (no pun intended :) )
Seinfeld has only been in 6 movies and has had brife roles in 3 made a cameo apperance in
2 and has Starred in only 1. Bee Movie (seinfeld's most well-known film) was released in late
2007. It stars Seinfeld as a young bee that is curious about the ways of humans and eventually
befriends one of them. The movie was rather sucessful at the box-office being number 1 in it's
second week in theaters. The movie was nominated for 2 kids choice awards a Golden Globe and
an Annie award but won nothing. Seinfeld himself scored his 1st ever kid's choice nomination
for best voice-over.
