Jerry Seinfeld’s was born and raised as Jewish. He makes a lot of references to his religion in his stand-up acts. He is not a very devout Jew. He took some Scientology classes in his 20s, though he did not join the Scientology church.
Infamously, the comedian has a Porsche collection consisting of several of the luxury cars. This collection makes him famous within various celebrity circles.
His politics have gone both ways, showing support to Barack Obama recently, but also George W. Bush in the past. Seinfeld believes that comedy should not be afraid of political correctness and should remain offensive if it’s funny. He has mentioned that he no longer wants to do stand up for Colleges as they have become too politically correct. This part of being liberal is something that he doesn’t like.
Seinfeld’s religion in real life also leaked into some jokes that were written into his sitcom Seinfeld. Seinfeld was the focus of the 2002 documentary called “Comedian”. Jerry’s favorite superhero is Superman. Both him and the producer of Seinfeld, Larry David, loved Superman so much that they made a point to always have him appear in their episodes.
