Stand up comedian Jerry Seinfeld's Netflix special to release on 19 September: Watch trailer

The iconic opening music, a shot of a diner, a punchline and that laugh track — five seconds into an episode and you can always tell that you’re watching Seinfeld, ‘a show about nothing’. Well, not quite — it chronicled the funny and inane moments from the lives of Jerry Seinfeld playing a fictional version of himself, as well as his friends Elaine, Kramer and George.

In a recently released trailer of the show, Seinfeld can be seen talking about how he his career started. Titled Jerry before Seinfeld, the show will feature more such stories about his Long Island upbringing, as well as some of the jokes he performed as a part of a set at The Comic Strip in New York. Apart from this show, Jerry Seinfeld will also be part of two other upcoming projects for Netflix as a part of a $100 million dea l he recently signed with the streaming service. One is his web-series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and the other is a second stand-up special. Additionally, he has also written scripted and non-scripted shows for Netflix.
