About This Quiz

"Seinfeld" was a sitcom that ran for nearly 10 years. From 1989 and 1998, the show followed a stand-up comedian who had minor success in the industry and his interactions with the people of his world. The star, whose real name was Jerry Seinfeld, took most of the storylines from real-life experiences. 

The show was a great success and went on to win Emmys, a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award and many more awards and accolades.
