Biography

Massapequa, New York NY, United States

Jerome Seinfeld (born April 29, 1954) is an American comedian, actor, and writer from Massapequa, New York, a large community on the south shore of Long Island. Seinfeld is often described as an observational comedian. He is best known for playing a semi-fictional version of himself in the long-running sitcom Seinfeld, which he co-created and executive produced.

Seinfeld created The Seinfeld Chronicles with Larry David in 1989 for NBC. The show was later renamed Seinfeld and, by its fourth season, became the most popular and successful sitcom on American television. The show left the air in 1998. The show also starred Saturday Night Live veteran Julia Louis-Dreyfus, as well as experienced actors Michael Richards and Jason Alexander. On the show, Seinfeld played a caricature of himself. He has said that his show was inspired by the 1950s sitcom The Abbott and Costello Show. About his influences, Seinfeld said, “He really formed my entire comedic sensibility—I learned how to do comedy from Jean Shepherd.”

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.
