Jerome Allen "Jerry" Seinfeld (born April 29, 1954) is an American comedian, actor, writer, and producer. He is best known for portraying a semifictional version of himself in the sitcom Seinfeld (1989–1998), which he co-created and co-wrote with Larry David. For its final two seasons, they were also co-executive producers.
Seinfeld also co-wrote and co-produced the 2007 animated film Bee Movie, in which he voiced the protagonist. In 2010 he premiered a reality series called The Marriage Ref. He directed Colin Quinn in the Broadway show Long Story Short at the Helen Hayes Theater, which ran until January 2011. He is also the creator and host of the web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
In his stand-up comedy career, Seinfeld is known for specializing in observational humor, often focusing on personal relationships and uncomfortable social obligations. In 2005 Comedy Central named him the 12th-greatest stand-up comedian of all time.
Seinfeld was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father, Kalmen Seinfeld (1918–1985), was born to a Jewish immigrant from Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine. His mother, Betty (née Hosni; born 1914), is of Syrian Jewish descent; her parents Selim and Salha Hosni were from Aleppo. Seinfeld grew up in Massapequa, New York, and attended Massapequa High School on Long Island. At the age of 16, he spent time volunteering in Kibbutz Sa'ar in Israel. He later attended State University of New York at Oswego; after his second year, he transferred to Queens College, City University of New York, graduating with a degree in communications and theater.

Plot: Eddie is a New York limo driver and a fanatical follower of the New York Knicks professional basketball team. The team is struggling with a mediocre record when, in mid-season, "Wild Bill" Burgess, the new owner, as a public relations gimmick, stages an 'honorary coach' contest, which Eddie wins. The fans love it, so "Wild Bill" fires the coach and hires her. She takes the bunch of overpaid prima donnas that make up the team and turns them around. But the owner hopes to move the team, now the darling of the New York fans, to St. Louis. He may OWN the team, but it BELONGS to the city and the fans!

Lost, deleted scenes, alternate takes, and stand-up bits from the 1990's sitcom Seinfeld, which I have put together in the form of an episode. Scenes are randomly chosen from various seasons. All material is from the DVD extras released in 2005 and copyright is retained by the producers.
Seinfeld also talks about the early days, before the show was popular, what it would be like if they were making "Seinfeld" today, and the "Italian-Jewish confusion" at the heart of the Costanza clan. Recorded at Hulu's Digital NewFront presentation at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom on April 29th, 2015.

Jerry is puzzled because he can't figure out why the girl he is dating seems to be wearing the same dress every time he sees her. From Seinfeld (Season 7, Episode 13).
The Seinfeld reunion show centered on George Costanza, who married a woman named Amanda and made a fortune by devising an iPhone application called the iToilet, which directed the user to the nearest decent public toilet anywhere in the world (in "The Busboy", an actual Seinfeld episode, George brags about being able to find "the best public toilet [...] anywhere in the city"). His wife left him before he lost his fortune in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme, and George then moved in with Jerry. In the years since the original finale, Jerry donated sperm to have a daughter with Elaine; the child, unknowingly, calls him "Uncle Jerry", but learns the truth by the end of the episode and eventually calls him "daddy". Most of the reunion show revolves around George attempting to get back with Aman...

These are just a few of my favorite Jerry Seinfeld stand-up acts preluding into the actual show. "Seinfeld is an American television sitcom that originally aired on NBC from July 5, 1989, to May 14, 1998. It lasted nine seasons, and is now in syndication. It was created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the latter starring as a fictionalized version of himself. Set predominantly in an apartment block in Manhattan's Upper West Side in New York City, the show features a host of Jerry's friends and acquaintances, in particular best friend George Costanza (Jason Alexander), former girlfriend Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and neighbor across the hall Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards)." www.seinfeld.com

One thing I do like of being down there with the old
people is that it makes me feel like I'm little again,
like a little kid. And when you're a kid, you can eat
amazing amounts of food. And all just candy, that's all
I ate when I was a kid. The only thought I had, growing
up, was "get... candy". That was my only thought, in my
brain, for the 10 years of human life. Just get candy,
get candy, get candy, get candy, get candy, get candy.
Family, friends, school, these were just obstacles in
the way of getting more candy. That's why you had to
teach kids not to take candy from strangers, if they're
playing in a playground. And they can barely understand
"Don't..."
"No candy ?... From... strangers ? Alright. Candy,
strangers, no candy. Alright, because otherwise I'm
taking the candy, anywhere I can get it".
There's such candy moron, idiot brains, "if this man
has candy I'm going with him, goodbye, don't care what
happens to me. Get candy, get candy, get candy".
"No, don't go, they'll torture you, they'll kidnap you
"It doesn't matter, he has an 'Oh Henry', I have to
take that chance. Get candy, get candy, get candy".
So the first time you hear the concept of Halloween,
when you're a kid, remember the first time you even
heard about it, it's like... your brain can't even...
"what is this ?! Who's giving out candy, someone's
giving out candy ?! Who is giving out this candy ?!
Everyone that we know is just giving out candy ?!!! I
gotta be a part of this, take me with you, I wanna do
it, I'll do anything that they want...!
I can wear that ! I'll wear anything that I have to
wear. I'll do anything I have to do. I will get the
candy from these fools ! That are so stupidly giving it
away".
So the first couple of years I made my own costume.
They of course, sucked. Ghost, hobo, no good. So I'm
begging the parents "you gotta get me one of the ones
from the store, the cardboard box, the cellophane top.
So one year, third year, finally got a Superman
costume... not surprisingly. "Mask included in the set
!". Remember the rubber band, on the back of that mask,
that was a quality item there, wasn't it ? That was
good for about 10 seconds, before it snapped out of
that cheap little staple they put it in there with. The
thinnest grey rubber in the world. You go to your first
house "trick or -snap- it broke, I don't believe it".
"Wait up, I gotta fix it, you guys. Come on. Wait up".
That's a kid thing, "wait up". Kids don't want other
kids to wait, they must "wait up". "Would you wait up
?". Because when you're little, life is up, you're
growing up, everything is up. "Wait up, hold up, shut
up !". "Ma, I'm all cleaned up !". "Let me stay up !".
Parents, of course, it's just the opposite, "just calm
down !". "Slow down !". "Come down here, sit down, put
that down !". "You are grounded !". "Keep it down in
there !".
So I had my Superman Halloween costume, I was
physically ready, I was mentally prepared. And I
assumed, when I put this costume on, I would probably
look exactly like the Superman I had come to know on
television and in the movies.
Now you remember these costumes, it's not exactly the
super-fit !... That you are hoping for ! You look more
like you're wearing Superman's pajamas, it's what you
look like. It's all loose, and flowing... neck line
kinda comes down to about there... (laughs) and you got
that flimsy little ribbon string holding it together in
the back... of course my mother makes me wear my winter
coat over the costume anyway...!
"I don't recall Superman wearing a jacket".
So you're going out there, you know, and the mask keeps
breaking, so the rubber band keeps getting shorter, and
keeps making it tighter and tighter on your face... you
can't even see... you're trying to breathe through
that, remember that little hole, it gets all sweaty in
there (imitates very deep breath) .... .... .... And
the mask starts slicing into your eyeballs, "I can't
see, I can't breathe, but you gotta get the candy,
let's keep going !".
About a half-hour into it, you take that mask, "oh, the
hell with it !". (imitates doorbell) "Bing Bong", "It's
me, gimme the candy !". "I'm Superman, look at the pant
legs, whatta hell is the difference !"
Remember those last few Halloweens, getting a little
too old for it. Just kind of going through the motions.
"Bing Bong", "come on lady, let's go. Halloween,
doorbells, candy, let's pick up the pace in there".
They come at the door, they always ask you those same
stupid questions:
"What are you supposed to be ?"
"I'm supposed to be done by now, you wanna move it
along, the Three Musketeers... ? I got 18 houses on
this block alone. You just hit the bag, we hit the
road, that's the routine, let's just pick it up".
Sometimes they gave you that little white bag, twisted
on the top, you know that's gonna be some crap candy.
It's gotta have those official Halloween markings on
it. "Hold it lady, wait a second, what is this, the
orange marshmallow shaped like a big peanut ? Do me a
favour, you keep that one. Yeah, we got all the door-
stops we need already, thank you very much. We're going
for name candy only, this year".
And I think about how I used to eat, when I was a kid.
I remember Halloween I would get, you know, I would
have like a punch-bowl, and I would fill it with candy.
The top of it would be curved, that's how much candy. I
would consume that entire punch-bowl, that night ! Next
