About the Program

Artists:
  • Jerry Seinfeld
Best known for the title role on the NBC comedy series Seinfeld, Jerry Seinfeld began his stand-up comedy career in local New York comedy clubs in 1976. His career took off after his first successful spot on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in 1981, at age 27. Appearances on the David Letterman and Merv Griffin shows followed. In 1989 Mr. Seinfeld teamed up with stand-up colleague, Larry David, and created The Seinfeld Chronicles for Castlerock Entertainment. The show later turned into the hit television series Seinfeld. After the last episode of Seinfeld aired in 1998, Jerry Seinfeld went back on the road with his stand-up act ending in New York at the Broadhurst Theatre. The last show was telecast live as an HBO special, "I'm Telling You For The Last Time," in August 1998.

Since then, Mr. Seinfeld has been writing new material for his stand-up act and occasionally performing at the clubs that gave him his first start. Mr. Seinfeld debuted some of his new material when he teamed up with Bill Cosby and other notable comedians at Carnegie Hall for the Stand Up For New York Benefit. In October of 2000 Mr. Seinfeld joined fellow comedians Steve Martin, Mary Tyler Moore, Rob Reiner, Dick Van Dyke and George Wallace on stage in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in honoring Carl Reiner, that year's recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American humor.
