Seinfeld himself has maybe been essentially the most vocal concerning the episode within the years since. In a 2014 Q. and A. on Reddit, he mentioned that he was “glad” with it and that he didn’t “imagine in making an attempt to vary the previous.” But in 2017, at a New Yorker Festival, he known as it an “not possible” episode. “I typically suppose we actually shouldn’t have even completed it,” he mentioned. “There was plenty of strain on us at the moment to do one large final present, however large is all the time dangerous in comedy.”
In a 2013 interview with the Television Academy, Jason Alexander, who performed George, known as it “a very good episode, not an awesome episode.” But he mentioned he beloved the thought and appreciated that David discovered an natural technique to deliver again characters who had formed the present: the Soup Nazi, for instance, or the low-talker. “We by no means actually received to say thanks,” Alexander mentioned.
And in most likely the funniest sendup of the episode, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who performed Elaine, joked on the ultimate “Late Show With David Letterman” Top 10 List: “Thanks for letting me participate in one other massively disappointing sequence finale.”
In its protection, David has repeatedly mentioned that, given the buildup and recognition, there was no technique to dwell as much as expectations.
“Everybody has it of their head what they suppose this present needs to be,” he advised Charlie Rose in a 1998 interview, forward of the finale. “Everybody has their very own state of affairs going, so it’s a must to high their state of affairs. Not solely do it’s a must to high their state of affairs, it’s a must to give you one thing that actually brings some closure to your entire sequence. So it was a frightening prospect.”
If “Curb” goes for a redo of types on Sunday, it wouldn’t be the primary time David has reopened this could of worms. In Season 7, he reunited Seinfeld, Alexander, Louis-Dreyfus and Michael Richards, who performed Kramer, for an prolonged “Seinfeld” reunion story line. At one level, Seinfeld jokes to David, “We already screwed up one finale.” To which David responds, “We didn’t screw up a finale, that was a very good finale!”
