When Seinfeld Quits, He Does Not Look Back

The old saying, “it’s not over until it’s over”, holds true for Jerry Seinfeld. The last episode of Seinfeld aired in 1998. Undoubtedly, doing the same thing for years and years on end could make anyone crazy after a while. In the case of Jerry, the monotony had to cease. Jerry felt like the ride was a good one while it lasted but it was time to move on.

When the final episode of the sitcom Seinfeld was filmed, he was certain that he did not want to go on to do another season of the show. NBC went so far as to offer Jerry Seinfeld $110 million to do a tenth season of the show. Money could not buy happiness in Jerry’s case and so he left the money on the table.
