Tomei plays a version of herself on the show with a thing for funny quirky bald men in episodes 14 and 15 of season seven back in 1996. Her name appears around 30 times in the script and George Costanza (Jason Alexander) repeats it often after Elaine Benes Julia Louis Dreyfus tells George he has the type of her friend the Oscar winning actress Marisa Tomei. Tomei told a similar story about her name being the reason she got the gig in a 2016 interview with Marie Claire. When I got there I did ask Larry David How did I get so lucky? How am I here? He just said Well when you say your name over and over it just has a really strong rhythm Marisa Tomei. Marisa Tomei she said.
I was very excited to be part of something that was so treasured and had made me laugh so much over the years Tomei told Insider during our interview. Her character delighted in Georges manure jokes but socked him in the eye when she found out he was engaged. It was really a thrill she added. The storyline of the hit series reminded Tomei of one of her favorite shows I Love Lucy. Lucille Ball used to have all those different guest stars on it. So I was really thrilled to be part of some very special television she continued.
