'Seinfeld' cast reunites on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'

Larry David -- co-creator of "Seinfeld" -- has convinced the four stars of that classic Emmy-winning sitcom to reunite for a multiepisode arc on the upcoming season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." As David explained at a TCA presser yesterday, "For years, I've been asked about a 'Seinfeld' reunion. We'll see the read-through, parts of rehearsals, the show being filmed."

Seinfeld Reunion Curb Your Enthusiasm Entertainment News 2468097 Jerry Seinfeld is set to appear in five episodes of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" while the other "Seinfeld" cast members -- Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards -- slated to appear in four installments.

And as per David, "The season finale will be about the reunion show. It could very well be [a one-hour episode], but I haven't finished editing it yet. But that's a good possibility."

Seinfeld had a cameo in the Season 4 finale of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." And both Alexander and Louis-Dreyfus appeared as versions of themselves in the second season as the show explored the so-called "Seinfeld" curse.

While Emmy rules dictate that "cameo appearances in which the person plays himself/herself are not eligible for entry" -- such as Seinfeld's earlier unbilled appearance on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" -- these upcoming multi-episode stints will surely qualify.

Playing variations of themselves on the two seasons of "Extras" earned a quartet of stars -- Ian McKellen, Ben Stiller, Patrick Stewart, and Kate Winslet -- guest acting Emmy nods. And Emma Thompson won for guest actress in a comedy series back in 1998 when she played herself on "Ellen" -- the twist there was that she was really an American only pretending to be British.

Perhaps Alexander can finally win an Emmy to go along with his 1989 lead actor Tony Award for "Jerome Robbin's Broadway." He lost seven successive Emmy bids for best supporting actor (1992-1998) for his work on "Seinfeld."

Three of those defeats were to co-star Richards. This will be the first acting gig for Richards since his infamous meltdown at a comedy club three years ago. Richards was the big Emmy winner for "Seinfeld," winning three of his five supporting actor bids (1993, 1994, 1997).

Louis-Dreyfus won on the fifth of her seven consecutive supporting actress Emmy nominations for "Seinfeld" in 1996. A decade later she won the lead actress Emmy for the first season of "The New Adventures of Old Christine." She has contended in that category every year since, including this current derby.

Seinfeld lost five consecutive lead actor races (1992-1996) for "Seinfeld." His only Emmy for "Seinfeld" came as a producer when the show won best comedy series in 1993. David shared in that win and picked up another Emmy that year for scripting the classic episode "The Contest."

The top-rated sitcom took home only 10 Emmys over its nine-year run, despite racking up 68 nominations. "Frasier" eclipsed "Seinfeld" at the Emmys time and again, winning 37 trophies, including a record five in a row as best comedy series.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" has only one Emmy to show for 30 nominations -- a 2003 directing win for Robert B. Weide. The show has contended five times for best comedy series while David has lost three lead actor races. The seventh season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" kicks off Sept. 20.

SO look forward to seeing this.

most overrated sitcom i've ever seen, seinfeld that is.. don't like curb either but have only seen like 2 episodes

Maybe its just a type of humor you don't understand. It's a bit sophisticated, and if have never dealt with egos such as T.V , movie, or entertainment, "stars" you probably wouldn't get it. Curb your Enthusiasm is brilliant.

Seinfeld was brilliant but it was one of those shows that you either got or didn't. However in my opinion the real genius was Larry David and the seasons after he left wasn't as good.

But i can't wait for the new series of Curb. I love the show already, one of the best around IMO. But this season's arc has potential to be the best yet.

Can't wait

Quoted for motherfucking TRUTH

I don't get why people go ape shit over this......... shitty acting and it isn't even funny.............

BTW I hate when people preface stuff like they are superior beings for "getting" something others don't.

maybe there is nothing to get and it just sucks?

Seinfeld' cast to reunite on 'Curb'

PASADENA, Calif. -- Larry David says the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which features a reunion of the Seinfeld cast, will be "tough to beat, I will tell you that."

The arc of the Curb season will present the Seinfeld fab four -- Jerry Seinfeld, Michael Richards, Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus -- as versions of themselves who actually are putting together a new Seinfeld episode.

"You're not going to see a Seinfeld show from beginning to end, but you will see parts of the show," said David, the creator and star of Curb and also the co-creator of Seinfeld.

The real-life David has no interest in a Seinfeld reunion. So wouldn't the Curb version of David have an urge to wreck the reunion, even if it was going well?

"He might," said David, flashing a mischievous grin that cracked up reporters at the Television Critics Association tour.

"My guy might consider wrecking something like that, yeah. I'm not saying he did. We'll see what happens. But my guy could very well wreck it."

David also was asked if Richards' troubles in 2006 -- when he was recorded spewing a series of racial taunts at a comedy club -- will be addressed at all in Curb.

"It's possible," David said slyly.

Very cool, esp. since the last seinfeld episode was pretty lame!!!

They actually wanted something else as an ending, seen the episode with the train?

At the end they just walk each in their own direction.

Either you get it or you don't.

Fortunately a lot of people did/do.  : ok:

I am so looking forward to this.

Fuck it, I'm in the arguing mood.

I would expect this from an avid "action-movie fan."

Ta-ta, I'll go drink my tea now.

 :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

I see what u did up there.

That is people's attitude and it drives me nuts.

why can't somebody  just not like something? How come they have to be not as "Sophisticated" or "look at me, I am the smartest guy in the world because I love this stuff nobody else does and their intelligence doesn't allow them to get it.

I just don't like the 3 main actors..... I don't connect with them or think they are very funny. Jerry is cool but the rest :no:

my cousin told me about this 2 weeks ago. looking forward to this  :smoking:

... but you just said yourself that you don't "get it"...



Seinfeld is the greatest.  10 years later and it's still the best thing on TV... can't wait to see this reunion!  I wonder how they will handle Richard's racist outburst (considering that interview suggests they may mention it)?  It seems like something you wouldn't want to bring up.

Nah.....in the prior post you made it seem like what you said was a cold hard fact.

Obviously they are YOUR opinions, but for the love of Flea, don't make it seem like your opinions are cast in stone and everyone must abide by them.

OH!  It's funny that you would only like Jerry, considering he was the worst actor out of the four! 

I didn't "get" the show either up until two years ago when I was sidelined with a bout of tonsilitis.  I gave the show a chance and I liked it.  The show doesn't even try to be pretentious, unless you think anything associated with Manhattan is pretentious.

Now, now Larry. Let D enjoy his CSI:Miami-err, Dexter.

Hey!  I was nice! 

But just for the hell of it...

The sun is setting in Kentucky.  Another day gives way to night.  After a hard day of running and going to school, we find Donald sitting in his favorite rocking chair on his front porch, shaving a nice piece of wood.  He is joined by his longtime friend Merle.

Donald: Ahh just don't git this here whole Sahhhn-failed thing.  Ain't nuthin' ever happen!
Merle: Yep, I hear ya bud.  10-4.
Donald: If any one of them Yankees come a-down the Mason-Dixon, I'll smack 'em silly with mah hickory stick.  'specially that EEEEEE-layne, missy needs to be taught sumathem manners.
Merle: Can I have suma your chew?
Donald: Yiiiiiiip!  (spits into his favorite spit bucket)

At first, I thought this was news concerning the pornographic spoof film about Seinfeld which will be coming out soon.  :hihi:

Seinfeld rules. Best sitcom ever. Seriously. Ilove how tehy take stuff from previous episodes and mention it again and again, so only if you've been a fan you'd understand. Like nobody thinks that Seinfeld is funny on the first epsode they watch, but if you keep watching you'll understand what they're talking about (cause you've seen it before) so ou'll find it utterly funny. When people watch only a couple of episode and then stop they'll find it not so good. But if you watch whole seasons it's amazing.

I'll def. watch it.

Gotta' love Kramer's very first words on the show:

"...ya' got any meat?" :hihi:

So it took tonsilitis for u to be able to watch it. Must have been the fever.

Everything I say is stone cold fact to me. I don't tip toe with opinions. If I think something sucks, I am going to tell u I think it sucks.

I find nothing appealing about the little bald dude or Kramer. Maybe its cause I hated their characters in Pretty Woman and Problem Child?

It's like Conan O Brien. U have these people who are like "Oh He is just different but brilliant"

I think he is corny and sucks.

Doesn't make me less intelligent or sophisticated, just means I think it sucks.

I hate elitist bullshit in any form.

I didn't have anything else to do, I couldn't go to school or go out.  Besides, I had seen a few episodes (when Costanza and Steinbrenner eat calzones and the one where Kramer goes swimming in the East River) so I figured, what the hell.

Stone cold fact for you, but don't pass it off as a stone cold fact on everyone else.  You don't tip toe, good for you.  That's why no one tip toes with you, because we can tell each other how we feel and no one will get butthurt at the end of the day.  (Some folks excluded, obviously.)

You're using their characters in other films AGAINST them?  That's fresh dude, that's really fresh.  :rofl:

I like Conan, but I liked him more in the 12:35 slot.  He's just not 11:35 material yet.  But yes, he is different and brilliant.  You don't get it, but a lot of people do.

There's nothing elitist about Seinfeld.  They were just four regular people hanging out.  They were not wealthy, you could tell by their living conditions and attire even.  Their hangout was a standard old cafe. 

I'm a huge fan of Seinfeld, and I don't consider myself any more sophisticated because of it by any means...

I don't think its a "Get It" or "Don't Get It" issue either... Its either you like the style of comedy or you don't, plain and simple!


Back on topic, I've never seen Curb, but I will check this out one way or another!

For 50 bucks?  I'd stick my face in their soup and blow!

^ NO SOUP FOR YOU! ONE WEEK! ;D

Yeah I think the comment "either you get it or don't get it" was taken the wrong way.  It's more either you like it or you don't.  You don't have to be sophisticated to like Seinfeld, nobody's saying that, I don't think.  It's a brand of humor that some people just aren't into.  I love it personally and agree it's the best sitcom EVER!!!  Obviously I GET IT!   :hihi:  Just kidding, I like it. 

It took me awhile to get into Curb Your Enthusiasm though.  My friend would always tell me how good it was and I never really gave it a chance until recently.  It's hilarious though.  Most of the story lines are exactly like the ones in Seinfeld, just with adult content.

"either you get it or you don't" is only offensive to someone insecure about their intellect.  I hated c.d. and i hear that excuse all the time but i've yet to be offended.

a must own  :P  :hihi:

ill burn a copy for little Garry

So who watched Curb today?

Me.  Loved it.  Set it up perfectly for the rest of the season/Seinfeld reunion.

Larry is great...first couple episodes have been hysterical...and great episode with the Seinfeld crew

I'm a total Curb junkie, the best season so far.

Tonight looks great, can't wait..

Wendy Wheelchair

"AND WHO IS SHE?"

"Denise......  Handicap"

I was killing myself.  This season has been awesome.

Seinfeld was and is a great show, one of the greatest ever. I got all the seasons and still laugh the crap out of the Soup Nazi episode  :hihi:

As for Curb, Iv seen two or three episodes one of them actually starring George Constanza and Elaine Benes, but i though the show was really lame, and just a failed attempt to recreat the seinfeld environment

I'd give it another shot.  It's a hilarious show.  One of my friends got me into it, but it took a lot of convincing.  I was apprehensive and didn't think it could come close to comparing to Seinfeld.  But it's basically the same show, with more adult content.

do they make their first appearance in "The Reunion" episode? which would be episode 4

They made an appearance in the first episode, and yesterday Jerry and Elaine made an appearance.

ah alright, in that case ill download the rest of the season.

But you have HOBO!

That wasn't the first episode, the poster had it right... their first appearance is in Episode 4, "Reunion".

That's the first episode I watched.  ;D

We all need a flabby, midriff bearing chick in our lives.

Splatter!
