What does Jerry Seinfeld do?

The character 'Jerry' on the Seinfeld Show made a living the same way as Jerry Seinfeld (prior to the TV show), as a stand-up comic. There are a number of episodes involving his act, including the opening of each show. Several episodes involve Jerry traveling to or from an engagement and appearances that didn't work out too well. One of the features of the show's background is that a professional entertainer's private life isn't necessarily glamorous; it's filled with tedious people and incidents like everyone else. It's in the telling of the incidents and the over-the-top behavior of his chums that form the TV show.
