Without a doubt one of my celebrity hero's has to be Jerry Seinfeld. He embodies a true comic, who always focused on the comedy and never sold out to anything else. During the beginning stages of his sitcom NBC told him of several changes that they wanted him to make so that Seinfeld would have some more cliche
aspects that were found it many sitcoms in that time. Now, these were some of the top executives at NBC so you can imagine that anybody else would have readily agreed with them and then made the adjustments that they had suggested. However, Seinfeld just told them no and then followed by saying that if they did not like that then he would be fine going back to being a stand up comedian. I admire Jerry Seinfeld for standing up to these head honchos and telling them that keeping with his comedy principles was more important then anything else.
