Ranking The 30 Best Stand-Up Comedians of All-Time

11. Jerry Seinfeld


Of course, most comedy can be categorized as observational. Jerry Seinfeld elevated the art form to new heights through his decades of dedication to the craft. Seinfeld focuses on the real world — making spot-on observations about everyday life, relationships, social situations, cultural differences, and human behavior. Even now in his 60s, with a sitcom-fueled fortune underneath his fanny, Seinfeld is still doing sets. Can anyone say “What’s the deal with…” in anything but Seinfeld’s classic nasal tone?
