Jerry Seinfeld is a popular actor, comedian and social activist, known globally for the popular '80s-'90s sitcom, Seinfeld. Considered as one of the funniest comedies to grace our screens, Seinfeld was a game-changer because it was a show about nothing. That's exactly what the series was about - just four lead characters going about their lives dealing with self-inflicted problems and minor inconveniences.

Even the protagonists were interesting - four deeply flawed character, almost sociopaths, trying to get ahead in life by trampling over others (and sometimes each other). The series was created by Jerry Seinfeld, along with Larry David (who had a role in the series and also played a fictional version of himself in Curb Your Enthusiasm).
Seinfeld played a fictional version of himself in the series, with most of the episodes beginning with him doing standup and cracking jokes on everyday stuff. In the main narrative, he is more of a cynical single guy who is obsessed with cleanliness and has a habit of looking down on others.
