Jason Alexander is the second Seinfeld solid member to throw chilly water on the thought of a reboot.
A number of months after Jerry Seinfeld seemingly hinted on the return of Seinfeld, the second solid member from the legendary sitcom has come ahead debunking the notion. In a brand new interview, Jason Alexander—the actor behind neurotic George Costanza all through all 9 seasons of the present—has mentioned he hasn’t been approached to reprise the position that remodeled him right into a family title.
“There is only one reason for that rumor,” Alexander mentioned in a current interview with Extra. “Apparently, at the end of some stand-up thing, [Seinfeld] went, ‘Larry [David] and I are thinking of something.’ Good for you. I don’t know anything about it… No one called me.”
He added, “Apparently, they don’t need George and they may not need Elaine ’cause Julia [Louis-Dreyfus] and I went, ‘Do you know anything about this? I don’t know anything about this,’ and I just talked to Michael [Richards] the other day and I don’t think he knew anything about it.”
Alexander was referencing Louis-Dreyfus’ feedback in October that exposed she has but to be contacted about getting the gang again collectively. “Yeah, I just saw [that news] last night,” Louis-Dreyfus informed The Guardian in October. “And I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about.”
The rumors come from Seinfeld himself, who revealed that he and Seinfeld co-creator Larry David have been engaged on one thing that might “fix” the present’s notorious collection finale.
“I have a little secret for you about the ending,” Seinfeld shared with the gang at a stand-up routine earlier this fall. “Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending. It hasn’t happened yet. Just what you are thinking about, Larry [David] and I have also been thinking about. So, you’ll see.”
The collection ended its run atop the rankings charts with an episode that noticed the present’s major quartet get arrested for callous indifference after they witness any individual get mugged and do nothing to assist him.
“I know that people hated it,” David informed Bill Simmons of Grantland in 2014. “I think the thing about finales is everybody writes their own finale in their head, whereas if they just tune in during the week to a normal show, they’re surprised by what’s going on. They haven’t written it beforehand, they don’t know what the show is,” David continued. “But for a finale, they go, ‘Oh, well this should happen to George, and Jerry and Elaine should get together,’ and all that. They’ve already written it, and often they’re disappointed because it’s not what they wrote.”
Seinfeld is streaming on Netflix.
