Jerry Seinfeld



Jerome \"Jerry\" Seinfeld (born April 29, 1954) is an United States actor, writer and comedian from Massapequa, New York, a Long Island, New York Town. Seinfeld attended the Birch Lane Elementary School and Massapequa High School. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, New York. Straight from graduation at Queens College, New York, Seinfeld tried out at an open mic night at Brooklyn, New York's ''Catch A Rising Star'' in 1976. Soon after, he was appearing in a Rodney Dangerfield Home Box Office special. Seinfeld had a small recurring role as "Frankie" on the ''Benson (television)'' Situation comedy 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 ''The Tonight Show''. Seinfeld then became a regular on similar shows, including ''Late Night with David Letterman'' and the Merv Griffin Show. ==Seinfeld== 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 Situation comedys on American television. The show left the air in 1998. As of 2005, 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. ==Post Seinfeld== 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 (movie)'', 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. Jerry also appeared in two 'webisodes'[http://www.unpluggedstudio.com/] promoting American Express Credit Cards in which he appeared together with an animated rendering of Superman. The webisodes were aired in 2004 and directed by famous director Barry Levinson. ==Family== He began dating Jessica Sklar after they met at the Reebok Sports Club in 1998, even though she had just married Eric Nederlander, a scion of the Broadway theater-owning family. At one point, Nederlander planned to lawsuit Seinfeld for "alienation of affection" for contributing to the demise of his marriage. Seinfeld and Sklar married on Christmas Day, 1999. They have 2 children, Sascha, and Julian Cal, whose birth was announced on ''Live! with Regis and Kelly''. In 2005, the fact that he was expecting his third child was announced. ==Compensation== Seinfeld received US dollar267 million during 1998 according to ''Forbes magazine'' ([http://www.forbes.com/lists/results.jhtml?passListId=53&passYear=1999&passListType=Person&resultsStart=1&resultsHowMany=25&resultsSortProperties=-numberfield2%2C%2Bstringfield1&resultsSortCategoryName=earnings+%28%24mil%29]). Even though his only sitcom ended six years ago, he still makes more with syndication than most actors with current shows do. His earnings allow him to be an active collecting of Porsche sports cars. ==External links== *[http://www.usatoday.com/life/2002-10-20-seinfeld-cover_x.htm USATODAY.com - Seinfeld goes on with the show - 10/21/2002] * *[http://www.unpluggedstudio.com/ Seinfeld and Superman] promote American Express - Episodes available to watch here 1954 births U.S. comedians Seinfeld Seinfeld characters Jewish American actors Comedians

Jerry Seinfeld



Jerry Seinfeld is currently touring North America (spring, summer 2005). Does anyone know the content of this show (is it the "I'm telling you for the last Time" show, or completely new material?) Moreover, does anyone have a link to a description or review of this show? It seems to me like this is the least publicized tour ever! Another website lists Jerry's date of birth as 4/29/1954. Perhaps the more correct of the two dates can be validated??? See: http://www.eonline.com/Facts/People/Bio/0,128,14179,00.html ==Removed sentence== I removed this sentence: "On November 15, 2004 Jerry appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman to promote the Seinfeld DVD sets." Seinfeld must have made dozens, of talk show appearances. I fail to see why this one in particular deserves mention. -User:R. fiend 23:06, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC) ==Yiddish transliteration== Why does the name "Seinfeld" appear in Yiddish transliteration in the first sentence? It's not Jerry's native language, nor does he perform or write in it. What's the justification for including it? --User:Metropolitan90 16:26, May 11, 2005 (UTC) I agree, it is senseless to have that in the article.
