URBAN LEGEND: Was Jerry Seinfeld offered over $100 million to do a 10th season of Seinfeld?
ANSWER: Yes he was!
Jerry Seinfeld turned down an offer from NBC that would have made him $110 million for a tenth season of the show.
Jerry said that this was because any kind of comedy is funny only upto a certain level. A one hour standup comedy might be the best thing you've ever thing, but extend it just by 5 minutes and it could be the worst experience of your life.
Jerry and Larry wanted to end the show at the point where it was still being loved and was making people laugh all over the globe, and they thought that Season 9 was the perfect time to do that.
