On Seinfeld, Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer were a team seen as one. But they were also their own individuals with their own voices.
I bet if someone said to you, “If I said a line from the sitcom, I bet you could tell me who said it?” You would probably would accept the challenge.
That is what Celebrity Jeopardy asked Roy Wood Jr., Natalie Morales, and Robin Thede to do. How did they do? They got them all correct. Because you don’t have to have seen every episode to hear Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards’ voices as Ken Jennings read the clues.
Before Jason Alexander played George Costanza, who was nuts, on Seinfeld, he was selling Planter’s Peanuts. How handsome was the 23-year-old in that 1983 commercial?
Before Taylor Swift was starring in her music videos, she was a background dancer in Brad Paisley’s Online. Even at 17, she knew how to work the camera in that 2007 music video.

So you know how certain celebs won’t respond to their former character names? Well, Jason Alexander is one of those celebs. However, it is not because he is an asshole like all of the other stars.
“It is the one thing I don’t answer to, not because I’m stuffy about it,” the Seinfeld actor tells Rachael Ray on her talk show tomorrow. “But, if you yell out ‘I can’t stand you,’ I turn around. If you yell out ‘shrinkage,’ I turn around, ‘I am the master of my domain,’ I turn around. But every now and then when it was early, people would go ‘George’ and I’d go ‘Oh, they know me from the show’ and I’d turn around and they’re calling someone named George and I’d look like such a schmo.”
I wonder what he would do if you yelled fire at him. George Costanza has some unforgettable, hilarious moments.
So, if you see Alexander in public, make sure to scream out George Costanza, and not just George, if you want him to acknowledge you.
Before Jason Alexander was a woman repellant on Seinfeld, he had a secret weapon to get the ladies. How sexy was the 21-year-old in that 1981 commercial?
