Jerry Seinfeld is one of the most highly paid and massively successful TV entertainers in history. You may have heard of his famous show, which was called...um...'Seinfeld'. The show ran for nine years, making big stars of both himself and Larry David, but in Seinfeld's case, he was no overnight success. He'd been working his way up the showbiz ladder for years.
In truth, Seinfeld came up the hard way through the standup comedy clubs, and he spent the best part of fifteen years on the road earning very little until he was finally noticed, and bagged TV slots on 'David Letterman', and 'The Tonight Show'. Once he had his foot in the TV door, he made up for lost time. Recently he's signed a big deal with the streaming service 'Netflix' to make both new sitcoms and special stand up shows, so he's not going anywhere just yet.
