“Nothing had ever been written like that before, like it was just a conversation as opposed to a setup, punchline, setup, punchline. And I just remember thinking, ‘This is so nice and relaxed. It’s got such a different … it’ll never go,” said Dreyfus to Seinfeld about their former show on the season premiere.
‘Seinfeld’ starred Jerry Seinfeld as himself, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes, Michael Richards as Cosmo Kramer, and Jason Alexander as George Costanza. Jerry was “the voice of reason” amongst his friends. Elaine was Jerry’s ex-girlfriend who on occasion was portrayed as self-righteous and bad-tempered. Cosmo was Jerry’s neighbor who had an eccentric hairstyle who usually did outrageous things like take all of Jerry’s shoes from his closet. George was Jerry’s friend from high school who was dishonest, grumpy, and usually jealous of others.
