Some of the Seinfeld stars are getting back for a mini-reunion.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and show creator Larry David are taking part in a “Fundraiser About Something” this week to help out the Texas Democratic Party.
The livestreamed event will be hosted by talk show host Seth Meyers and will feature Louis-Dreyfus, Alexander and David discussing their favourite behind-the-scenes stories from the sitcom.
There will also be a few special guests.
“Texas is a battleground state, period,” the Seinfeld trio said in a statement. “We knew that we had to reunite for something special and the movement on the ground for Texas Democrats up and down the ballot is the perfect opportunity to do just that.
“Texans are getting out to vote in droves and showing the world that Texas has never been a red state, it’s been a non-voting state. We couldn’t be more thrilled to host a ‘Fundraiser About Something’ for a terrific organisation like the Texas Democratic Party, who are building the movement necessary to turn Texas blue in 14 days.”
Fans can access the livestream this Friday by making a donation to the Texas Democratic Party. Unfortunately the event is only open to US citizens.
Seeing as you’ve read this far, here are some things about Seinfeld you might not know.
JASON ALEXANDER THREATENED TO QUIT
The actor revealed to Access Hollywood that he once told co-creator Larry David that he might walk away from the show.
“Very early on Larry wrote an episode where Elaine and Jerry go to Florida and Kramer and George are not in that episode,” Alexander said.
“And when Seinfeld started I had a very successful career in the theatre in New York which is what I thought I was going to be doing all my life. So when I was written out of an episode I came back the next week and I said to Larry, ‘Look, I get it. But if you do that again, do it permanently. If you don’t need me to be here every week … I’d just as soon go back home and do what I was doing.’”
JERRY SEINFELD’S FAVOURITE EPISODE
There were 180 episodes in total but Seinfeld has two favourites in particular.
“One was ‘The Rye’, because we got to shoot that at Paramount Studios in LA which was the first time that we thought, ‘Wow this is almost like a real TV show,’” Seinfeld said during a Reddit AMA.
“We hadn’t felt like a real TV show, the early years of the TV show were not successful … We felt like we were a weird little orphan show. So that was a big deal for us.”
And the comedian’s other favourite episode is “The Pothole”.
“Newman drives his mail truck over a sewing machine and his mail truck burst into flames,” Seinfeld recalled.
“It was really fun to shoot, and it was fun to set Newman on fire. And he screamed, ‘Oh the humanity,’ like from the Hindenberg disaster.”
SEINFELD STORYLINES
Carol Leifer was a writer on Seinfeld and told news.com.au that friends would always pitch ideas to her for potential storylines.
“When you write on Seinfeld, the bane of any writer’s existence was people coming up to you and saying, ‘Oh I’ve got the best idea for a Seinfeld episode,’” Leifer said.
But every now and then they gave her some gold.
“I have a friend from high school who said she had a great Seinfeld idea. She said, ‘We had a dinner party the other night and these people brought a bread to serve at the dinner and I forgot to put the bread out and I noticed at the end of the night they took the bread home.’
“I remember saying to my friend, ‘You know what? I’m going to pitch to Larry and Jerry because I think there’s something there.’ And sure enough when I pitched it to them, Larry David was like, ‘That’s a show. We’re definitely doing something with that,’ and that became the episode called The Rye.”
SCRAPPED EPISODE
As Seinfeld revealed during a Reddit AMA, they decided to scrap an episode in which Jerry was going to buy a handgun.
“We started making it and stopped in the middle and said, ‘This doesn’t work,’” he said.
“We did the read-through and then cancelled it. A lot of other stuff happened, but trying to make that funny ended up being no fun.”
