Jerry Seinfeld Biography

EasyEdit

(What's this?)

Born in Brooklyn, New York, to parents Kalman and Betty. Moved with family, including his sister Carolyn, to suburban Massepequa, Long Island at a young age. His dad had a terrific sense of humor, was a commercial sign maker.
Attended Oswego College in upstate New York but transfered to Queens College back in NYC. Developed interest in stand-up comedy after brief stints in college productions. Went straight from college graduation to amateur night tryout at New York's Catch a Rising Star, 1976.
Continued to perform in local clubs and Catskill Mountain resorts until his career was boosted by an appearance on a Rodney Dangerfield HBO Special, 1976. Career took off after first successful spot on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson in May 1981, at the age of 27. Appearances on Late Night with David Letterman in 1982, and The Merv Griffin Show followed. Also appeared four times as Frankie on the sitcom Benson. After he was abruptly fired from the show, he swore never to do another sitcom unless he had greater control. This opportunity emerged when he was invited to create a sitcom for NBC in 1989 and teamed up with his friend and stand-up comic Larry David.
Progression from The Seinfeld Chronicles into the long-running Seinfeld (1990) series phenomenon was ended by its co-creator and co-executive producer, Larry David. Still unmarried, he moved back to New York City into a new multimillion-dollar house, multilevel apartment on Central Park West just down the street from his original, small bachelor studio on West 81st.
