Jerry Seinfeld's Age at Seinfeld's Premiere
The character of Jerry Seinfeld on the show is a fictionalized portrayal of the comedian himself. For this reason, the showrunners logically aligned the character's age with that of the real Jerry Seinfeld. When The Seinfeld Chronicles (the pilot episode) aired on July 5, 1989, Jerry Seinfeld was indeed 35 years old, having been born on April 29, 1954.
This alignment provided a realistic foundation for the character, who navigated the everyday absurdities of life in New York City alongside his friends.

Understanding this detail helps to connect the highly fictionalized world of Seinfeld with the real-life experiences and comedic observations of its star and co-creator.
