 Jerry Seinfeld's unique brand of "observational humor" has
made him one of the most popular and most imitated comedians in America. Born in
Brooklyn, raised in Massapequa, Seinfeld began hitting the club circuit the
night he graduated from Queens College. His work paid off when he became a
regular guest on Late Night With David Letterman and The Tonight Show. Network
and cable specials followed, and in 1990, he was given the creative outlet of a
lifetime: his own network sitcom. With his partner, Larry David , Seinfeld
created a show about "nothing". By 1993, his eponymous off-beat TV series had
become a huge hit, both with the critics and with viewers, and that year won the
Emmy for Best Comedy Series. The extraordinarily successful series remained at
the top of the ratings going into its ninth, and final, season. How to book

Since "Seinfeld" the show ended in 1998, Seinfeld the comedian has kept a low
profile. He got married, had a few children and still tours the country doing
stand-up. Seinfeld made a return to the public eye with the 2002 documentary
film "Comedian," which chronicled his efforts to create a brand-new stand-up
comedy act after permanently retiring his sharpest material on HBO's 1998
special "I'm Telling You for the Last Time." The result was a portrait of the
sometimes agonizing path a comic treads to make people laugh and the lingering
insecurities that plague even the most successful performers.
