Jerry Seinfeld: "He's Bringing Stand-Up Back...Yeah!"

Oct. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- At the end of the 1980's and beginning of the 1990's, the popularity of stand-up comedy was at an all-time high. Comedy clubs were everywhere, and stand-up comics could be seen up and down the television dial. TV shows focusing on comics were everywhere. A new cable channel called Comedy Central offered stand-up and other comedy 24 hours a day. Sketch comedy also enjoyed its greatest success during the decade. TV sketch shows were everywhere, from network shows like Saturday Night Live, In Living Color & The Ben Stiller Show.

   The enormous popularity of NBC's Seinfeld made the titular comic a household name. Seinfeld created The Seinfeld Chronicles with Larry David in 1989 for NBC. The show was later renamed Seinfeld. After his sitcom ended, Seinfeld returned to stand-up comedy instead of pursuing a film career as most other popular comedians have done.
