Jerry Seinfeld has a reputation, and it is not necessarily a good one. Well, Julia Louis Dreyfus shared a story about the final season of Seinfeld, and it is not helping things for him.
Did you know that the multi-Emmy winner was pregnant twice during the filming of the sitcom? The first time, the show hid her pregnancy with anything they could. The second time, they said fuck it.
Or so it seemed. Recently, when she was on the podcast Wiser Than Me with special guest host Jean Smart, she relived a conversation she had with her old boss: “When I was about four/five months pregnant, and just starting to show. Jerry came up to me, and he said, ‘You know, we have this idea, in the writers’ room, that maybe we will write it in, that Elaine is just getting fat.'”
Since she was hormonal, because she was pregnant, she cried. But every other woman who is not PMSing or pregnant is thinking, how hard can I punch him in the balls and explain to him in a way that he might be able to comprehend that was a very, very, very bad idea.
Hopefully, he learned his lesson before he said anything as asinine to his wife when she was pregnant with any of their three children. What a dumb ass. And that is why George was the one we all love and loved!
And good thing for Seinfeld, it was the final season. Had he not cancelled the series, I am sure things would have been awkward between the two.
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.
Seth Meyers and his friend Julia Louis-Dreyfus went Day Drinking, and I am not sure how strong their friendship will be afterward.
I don’t know if the Emmy-winning actress didn’t know what the segment Day Drinking was about, but she wasn’t up for drinking the concoctions the Late Night host made for her. In fact, she spit them out, partly because she didn’t like the taste and also because she was trying to remain classy.
So, when she got upset that she got some Jaggermeister on her shirt, he felt bad. So bad that he let her throw a shot at him. It was so bad that we all felt bad for her.
But not as much as when she missed a particular person’s name when she had to fill in the two blanks for people with three names. I missed it, too, and it hurt. It hurt a lot.
But not as much as my stomach when she played bartender and was forced to make fun of him. She couldn’t stop laughing, and I couldn’t stop laughing with her.
At the end of the day, we were all tired, but no one as much as Meyers. He didn’t even make it home before he needed to take a nap during the day. And he earned it because it is hard to drink by yourself during the day.
Oh, and I loved that she didn’t hesitate to tell Seth that the worst movie she ever made was Troll from 1986. It truly is awful.
Before Julia Louis-Dreyfus was friends with the troll George Costanza on Seinfeld, she was more than friends with an actual Troll. How pretty was the 24-year-old in that 1986 movie?
Jeopardy wanted to see how well the contestants know Seinfeld, so they asked them some questions. Well, not Alex Trebeck, but the stars, Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Jason Alexander, themselves.
How well did they do? Of course, they got all the answers correct. I mean, who doesn’t everything about the show that is about nothing.
