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 Bob Odenkirk was a lawyer on Better Call Saul, he was a “doctor” on Seinfeld. He looks the same now as he did when he was 34 in that 1986 episode.
Before Tim DeKay was working with someone who was always pretending not to be himself on White Collar, he was pretending to be Jerry Seinfeld on Seinfeld! How much did you love seeing a different side of the 33-year-old in that 1996 episode?
In the ’90s, everyone loved Michael Richards as Kramer on Seinfeld. But then, in 2006, the comedian went on a racist rant during a set at the Laugh Factor.
Since then, he has rarely been seen. However, yesterday, he came up to support his old boss, Jerry Seinfeld, at the premiere of the latter’s movie Unfrosted, which debuts Friday on Netflix.
I can feel the frost coming through the photo because, to me, both men come off as cold individuals, unlike Jason Alexander, who played a prick on the sitcom but is a really nice guy in real life.
