Five years after Larry David bid farewell to the fictionalized version of himself he played in Curb Your Enthusiasm for eight seasons, it seems the Seinfeld co-creator is returning to the role: HBO has just confirmed season 9 of the life of real-life George Costanza! Read More »
For the past few months, Larry David, the man behind HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, has been playing Bernie Sanders on Saturday Night Live -- but now someone has mashed up Sanders' face and speeches with Jason Alexander's George Costanza on Seinfeld! Read More »
In watching last night's episode of Saturday Night Live, fans were given a taste of things to come – in that Larry David is returning to SNL on Feb. 6 as the host! Following the popularity of his Bernie Sanders impression, which immediately took the Internet by storm, David has made several appearances on the show, and it's probably safe to say he'll dazzle us all yet again with the impersonation of the Vermont senator in a couple of weeks.

It's not exactly Festivus, but this sure is a miracle for the rest of us! It's being reported that a George Costanza-themed bar has opened up in Australia, honoring everyone's favorite Seinfeld character portrayed by Jason Alexander. Read More »
Today is the day Seinfeld fans clamor for every year. Or, well, at the very least, it happens and they think oh cool, it's here! No matter what type of fan you are, today is Festivus- the made-up holiday made famous by the iconic NBC series, specifically by George Costanza's father, Frank (Jerry Stiller). Since the holiday was popularized back in the '90s, people have actually begun to celebrate it. And being that this is the age of social media, Twitter and Instagram are soaked in Festivus cheer.

Several members of the Seinfeld cast came together (sort of) to give a terminally ill fan the birthday wish of his life—a video recording of some in, and out of, character Happy Birthday messages. Read More »
Whether or not Bernie Sanders will be the next President of the United States remains to be seen. Something that we know right now, however, is the fact that Sanders and Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David ARE indeed the very same person. Sanders has certainly pandered to the Internet before regarding this subject, reading aloud some Seinfeld scenes of New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who was voiced by LD. But now, the Twitter handle @Seinfeld2000 (aka Seinfeld Current Day) has done some more digging. And wouldn't you guess, it appears safe to say that they're one and the same. Read More »
Jason Alexander is officially taking over for Larry David in his hit Broadway play Fish in the Dark. And while it seems that nearly everyone has seen the production, there's one person who hasn't: Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon. Which is exactly why the Seinfeld star and mind behind the show yelled at Fallon during last night's episode of the NBC series. The appearances comes after Alexander "slammed" Heidi Swedberg – who played George Costanza's fiancé, Susan Ross, on the series – on The Howard Stern Show, saying that she was difficult to work with. Yet, shockingly enough, it was blown out of proportion. Read More »
At one point Seinfeld was the biggest show in the world. Even in syndication it's still one of the most watched shows on television. It's because of this that when one of the cast talks about it, it makes headlines. This was the case when George Costanza actor Jason Alexander talked about why they killed off his wife Susan on the Howard Stern Show. According to Alexander, the main reason was because he had no chemistry with Susan's actor Heidi Swedberg. Read More »
A while back, MStars News reported that there were some struggles in the whole Seinfeld-Netflix deal. But finally, it seems they've reached an agreement... with Hulu. Yes, word has it that Seinfeld is going to Hulu for roughly $700,000 an episode. You read that correctly –– $700k per episode. So, it would seem certain to say that creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are about to get much, much wealthier. Which is good because we hear they are struggling (cue the eye roll). Anyway, many people speculated that the famed NBC comedy would be going to Netflix, largely because that streaming service purchased Friends for $500k. And while things were going somewhat smoothly, things took a turn when Netflix offered money for a five-year contract. Read More »
Jason Alexander's George Costanza character on Seinfeld might have been a small representation of the iconic series' creator Larry David, but now the famed actor is actually being LD. It's being reported that Alexander will replace David in his Broadway play Fish in the Dark, stepping into the role of Norman Drexel this coming June 9. The New York Times is reporting that David is leaving in the beginning of June following "tepid reviews" from a number of outlets. Of course, he's not leaving because of the reviews; in fact, we're not so sure he cares. The Curb Your Enthusiasm star-creator planned to leave the show on June 7 all along. Read More »
Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David's 90s baby Seinfeld had a brilliant way of stepping around controversial topics and tackling them straight on in a SFW sort of way that no other sitcom could do. The perfect example would be "The Contest"––the masturbation episode in which Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer enter a contest to see who can be "master of their domain." And while it seemed nothing could top that, apparently the heads over at NBC gave the axe to a couple of episodes they deemed too controversial for the airwaves. While David, Seinfeld, executive producer Larry Charles, and a number of other writers wrote the two scripts, the network decided it best to cancel them and not even film due to them being politically incorrect.

Looks like Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld could very well become a hell of a lot wealthier very, very soon. Which is good because they need the money. Oh wait, no, they don't –– at all. But that doesn't mean they won't be seeing some pretty hefty residual checks when the streaming rights for their hit series Seinfeld are sold. Right now, it's being reported that Sony Pictures TV is offering the show to Hulu, Yahoo and Amazon and causing a bidding war of around $90 million. And Netflix? Well, it looks like they're "taking a pass" on the famed NBC series. Read More »
