“The Owen Hart Foundation is celebrating its 25th anniversary and true to our tradition of presenting outstanding artists to the Calgary area we are exceptionally ecstatic to be hosting the one-and-only Jerry Seinfeld for the third time! The OHF hosted Jerry Seinfeld at our 10th and 20th anniversary and ever since has had a long-held plan to have Jerry return for our OHF 25th Anniversary. Jerry Seinfeld has had an enormously successful world-renowned career and is clearly one of the most popular standup comedians of all time. His 90’s sitcom ‘Seinfeld” continues to be universally loved by countless viewers and his most recent endeavors including Netflix series ‘Comedians in Cars’, is incredibly hilarious and has earned him staggering acclaim. In short, we feel tremendously honored to host such a talented, formidable, and iconic performer – again for the third time!” stated Dr. Martha Hart, Founder; Owen Hart Foundation.
Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy career took off after his first appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1981. Eight years later, he teamed up with fellow comedian Larry David to create what was to become the most successful comedy series in the history of television: Seinfeld. The show ran on NBC for nine seasons, winning numerous Emmy, Golden Globe and People’s Choice awards, and was named the greatest television show of all time in 2009 by TV Guide, and in 2012 was identified as the best sitcom ever in a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll.
His latest Emmy nominated Netflix projects include Jerry Before Seinfeld and 23 Hours to Kill along with the highly acclaimed web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Seinfeld has also starred in, written and produced movies (Comedian, Bee Movie), directed and produced a Broadway hit (Colin Quinn Long Story Short), and wrote three best-selling books (Is this Anything?, Seinlanguage and The Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Book) and a children’s book (Halloween). He will star in the upcoming comedy film, Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, which he directed, co-wrote and produced.
