Jerry Seinfeld can look back at Seinfeld as just one chapter in a long, successful career. After the show ended in 1998, he continued writing, acting, and, of course, doing stand-up. In 2004, he produced The Seinfeld Story, a TV movie documentary, before he later joined the rest of the cast on a Curb Your Enthusiasm-sponsored Seinfeld reunion in 2009. From 2010 to 2011, Seinfeld served as a writer on The Marriage Ref, before launching his online series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

He continued writing with penning his 2020 book, Is This Anything?, which he described to EW as a "written document of my work, for whatever value it might have to other young comics." The same year, Seinfeld released his first original stand-up routine since 1998 for his Netflix special, 23 Hours to Kill, and later went on to tour his comedy shows.
