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.
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.
