In Plain Sight.

“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?’”

‘Nine years of killing on the Carson show should’ve triggered something in them?’

“Nothing. Nothing.”

- Jerry Seinfeld interviewed by Howard Stern.

It took George Shapiro, Seinfeld’s Manager, to call NBC and point out Seinfeld’s talent for NBC to meet and offer a sitcom.

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

Remember Jerry next time you’re feeling your boss doesn’t notice, let alone appreciate you’ve been killing.
