“I had been on the Johnny Carson show for nine years. Nobody at NBC - nobody - not one person after nine years of going on Carson three and four times a year and killing - nobody said ‘Why don’t we talk to this kid?’”

35 years later, Jerry Seinfeld has an estimated net worth of over a billion dollars.
