How Old Jerry Was At The Start & End Of Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld plays a fictionalized version of himself navigating life and dating in the hit sitcom Seinfeld, but how old was he at the start and end of the show’s 9 seasons? Co-created by Jerry Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Larry David, Seinfeld is now regarded as a beloved TV show about nothing — a premise that receives plenty of meta jokes when Jerry and George pitch a series in season 4. Seinfeld follows the everyday life of Jerry Seinfeld, his best friend George Constanza, ex-girlfriend and best friend Elaine Benes, and eccentric neighbor Cosmo Kramer as they deal with the nuances of life in New York City and the painstaking process of dating throughout adulthood.
While most sitcoms navigating city dating life and a small group of friends like Friends or How I Met Your Mother pin the characters’ ages quite close together, Seinfeld’s protagonist characters vary widely in age. Elaine is the youngest of the group, being 27 years old when the 1989 premiere season began, and a year younger than her Emmy-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus. George Costanza follows up as the second-youngest Seinfeld character, with his surmised birthday putting him at 31 years old when the show starts. Kramer is the elder of the group, which isn’t surprising considering how well he gets along with the characters’ parents, but he’s never actually given an age. Since most of the characters’ ages are within a year or two of their actors’, Kramer likely began the series at 40 years old, since Michael Richards was born in 1949.
