It's no secret—Seinfeld is one of the most popular television series ever. For the better part of the ‘90s, millions of people tuned in each week to get a glimpse into the life of four zany friends living in New York City. Perhaps just as beloved as Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer, though, was the rotating door of guest stars, which spanned already-famous performers to ones who were at the very beginning of their careers.
From a modern-day superstar who got their start on the buzzy show to a huge ‘90s actress who played one of Jerry’s love interests, here are 9 celebrities you didn’t know guest starred on Seinfeld. A few may surprise you.
The 90s sit-com Seinfeld is often called "a show about nothing." Lauded for its observational humor, this quick-witted show focussed on four hapless New Yorkers navigating work, relationships...yada yada yada.
Jerry, George, Elaine & Kramer set themselves apart from the characters who populated shows like Friends or Cheers, by being the exact opposite of the characters audiences would normally root for. These four New Yorkers were overly analytical, calculating, and above all, selfish.
Economics professors Linda Ghent and Alan Grant went so far as to write an entire book on the subject, Seinfeld & Economics. The book points readers to economic principles that appear throughout the show, ideas like economic utility, game theory, and the best way to allocate resources in the face of scarcity.
