Jerry Seinfeld is an Emmy Award- and Golden Globe Award-winning American comedian, actor. 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 had a small recurring role as "Frankie", a mail delivery boy who had a slew of comedy routines that no one wanted to hear, on the Benson sitcom in 1979, but he was abruptly fired from the show.

A few years later, in May of 1981, Seinfeld made a highly successful appearance on The Tonight Show. Seinfeld then became a regular on similar shows, including Late Night with David Letterman and The Merv Griffin Show.

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. As of 2006, the show is still receiving heavy airplay in syndication. The show also starred Saturday Night Live veteran Julia Louis-Dreyfus, as well as Michael Richards and Jason Alexander. On the show, Seinfeld played a caricature of himself. In 1998, Seinfeld went on tour and recorded a comedy special entitled I'm Telling You for the Last Time.

Seinfeld had a special appearance on the May 13, 2006 Saturday Night Live episode as Julia Louis-Dreyfus's assassin.
