Before ‘Seinfeld,’ Jerry was shown the door by ‘Benson’

 * Although the show often focused on four characters, it was clear from the beginning that Seinfield was the star of the show.






Seinfeld is one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time. In fact, in 2013, the Writers Guild of America named it one of the Best-Written TV Series of All Time, only second to HBO’s The Sopranos. Nowadays, the show still maintains its popularity, with many of Seinfeld’s episodes and catchphrases becoming a part of modern pop culture to this day. Although the show often focused on four characters, Jerry Seinfeld, his best friend George Costanza, his ex-girlfriend Elaine Benes and his neighbour Cosmo Kramer, it was clear from the beginning that Seinfield was the star of the show. Nowadays, Jerry Seinfeld is a popular comedian with a massive net worth, so it’s hard to believe that before starring in Seinfeld, he didn’t have much going on. Well, believe it or not, before starring on his own show, Jerry Seinfeld was fired from another popular comedy series.


Jerry Seinfeld’s career began in the late 70s when he decided to try out at an open-mic night at New York City’s Catch a Rising Star. His witty humour soon caught the attention of TV producers, which landed him several appearances on different TV shows.


His popularity grew so much that in the late 80s, Seinfeld was presented with the opportunity to pitch a show to NBC. Along with his friend and fellow comedian, Larry David, Seinfeld came up with the premise for a sitcom about a stand-up comedian and his day-to-day life. The series was then developed by NBC executive Rick Ludwin, and produced by Castle Rock Entertainment.
