Jerry Seinfeld

Jerome "Jerry" Seinfeld (born April 29, 1954 in Brooklyn, New York, U.S.) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and television and film producer, known for playing a semi-fictional version of himself in the situation comedy Seinfeld (1989–1998), which he co-created and co-wrote with Larry David, and, in the show's final two seasons, co-executive-produced.

In his first major foray back into the media since the finale of Seinfeld, he co-wrote and co-produced the film Bee Movie, also taking on the lead role of Barry B. Benson. In February 2010, Seinfeld premiered a reality TV series called The Marriage Ref on NBC. Seinfeld was more recently directing Colin Quinn in the Broadway show Long Story Short at the Helen Hayes Theater in New York which ran until January 8, 2011.

Jerry Seinfeld is married to Jessica Seinfeld (née Nina Sklar). They have two sons and a daughter. Jerry owns one of the largest collections of Porsche cars in the world. He has been practicing transcendental meditation for over 40 years. Seinfeld is an avid baseball fan and a supporter of the New York Mets. Occasionally, he appears as a guest on the WFAN sports program, where he comments on Mets games and baseball in general. These appearances are called "Jerry from Queens."

Seinfeld is left-handed, and the first joke he wrote was about this.
