One of the most beloved and highest-grossing entertainers of all time has been ranked as the biggest 'One Hit Wonder' for television actors.
Only so many A-listers in Hollywood have been fortunate enough to enjoy success in multiple television shows. That list includes Bryan Cranston (Malcolm in the Middle and Breaking Bad), Lucille Ball (I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld and Veep), and William Shatner (Star Trek and T. J. Hooker).
Though Louis-Dreyfus found great success after Seinfeld, the same cannot be said of the show's main star.
WatchMojo published its list of the 10 biggest one hit wonder television actors. Taking the top spot was none other than comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who portrayed a fictionalized version of himself on the NBC hit show.
The New York-based comedian and his close friend, Larry David, co-wrote the show. Its pilot, "The Seinfeld Chronicles", premiered on July 5, 1989. The show produced 180 episodes, with the two-part finale airing on May 14, 1998.
Seinfeld centered around the day-to-day lives of four friends in New York: Jerry Seinfeld, Elaine Benes (played by Louis-Dreyfus), Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) and George Costanza (Jason Alexander).
Episodes focused on the characters' dating lives and random plots, such as George trying to deliver a good "comeback" to a coworker, Kramer getting addicted to a local roast chicken store, and Elaine clashing with The New Yorker over the lack of humor in their cartoons.
