If you were to ask everyone you know from all ages to name their favorite comedians, the most common name you\u2019ll hear is Jerry Seinfeld. No one has shaped the comedy landscape like him. Out of his four specials, he\u2019s earned four Emmy nominations total. His two big shows in the past three decades have earned him 73 Emmy nominations and 3 Golden Globe wins, an incredible ratio that\u2019s unmatched by any stand-up comedian in history.

Seinfeld\u2019s gifted observational abilities made his comedy relatable to everyone (such as \u201cPeople\u2019s number one fear is public speaking, number 2 is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? That means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you\u2019re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy\u201d - Jerry Seinfeld, \u201cI\u2019m Telling You for the Last Time\u201d) which made his show Seinfeld the 3rd most critically and commercially successful comedy sitcom ever made. It\u2019s fascinating how someone can have less than thirty Writing/Acting/Directing IMDb credits yet garner almost one hundred nominations from the most highly coveted institutions in the entertainment industry. It\u2019s an accomplishment that no one else has done like Seinfeld has, which makes it fair to label him as the Midas of Comedy.
