Yeah, what did happen to Jerry Seinfeld? Alec Baldwin on WNYC

The story is that Seinfeld bought out the cast member's rights to residuals and kept them all to himself, thus becoming incredibly rich

Beyond that, I am not sure what he does with himself besides appear on late night TV once in a while...he talks about doing things, but I never anything

This week Alec sits down with comedian Jerry Seinfeld who debuted on HBO in 1981, the same year he first appeared on Johnny Carson. Jerry Seinfeld was 27 years old.

Seinfeld's material stood out.  It wasn't about his upbringing or personal relationships.  It was about our universal experience of small things.  Eight years after his HBO debut, he and Larry David created a weekly series that changed both their lives.  After Seinfeld ran for nine seasons, Seinfeld went back to stand-up, and to his audience.  As he explains to Alec, Seinfeld feels uniquely connected to his fans: “You have this relationship with the audience that is private between you and them. Critics want to write, people want to talk.  We have our own thing that nobody can break … once you build that it can't be broken by outside forces.”
