SEINFELD SUPREMACY

The Friday File: Most TV shows that go into syndication slowly lose viewership and eventually syndication rights experience shrinkage and become worthless. Not Seinfeld. Incredibly, 72 million Americans watched at least one “Seinfeld” episode during January-August of 2026. As a result, syndication rights are astonishingly high. Netflix recently reportedly paid $500 million for exclusive rights through 2031. And Seinfeld and Larry David will each get $75 million, yada yada yields.
