Question

Fans identify the episode and character as 'The Face Painter' with Alec Berg, noting Jerry's comedic pronunciation of the name and that the real Alec Berg was a Seinfeld producer.

There was an episode where one of Jerry's friends gave him some hockey tickets. Jerry refused to say thanks and then didnt get the playoff tickets. Anyways, Jerry was making a funny pronunciation of the guys name. What is the episode called and what was the name of that guy.

Thanks

It's a great 'John Houseman' name. Alec Buuuuurg.

Dave (the real Alec Berg was a Seinfeld producer.)

Great to hear the Paper Chase quoted. Got all the episodes, even the Showtime ones. That would be a great one to release on DVD.

In the episode, Puddy says he's been a New Jersey Devils fan since he was a kid. But the Devils only moved to the NJ in 1982, so unless Puddy is in his late 20s....

anyways, I always chuckled when I heard him say that...

Hey Chris - obviously you're technically correct, however, I _still_ call the Colorado Avalanche the Nordique, just because I was so bitter when they left town. *Really* the Avalanche _are_ the Nordique because although they won the Cup in Colorado, it was the years of building in Quebec (plus a good trade! ;)) that made them winners. I know that most 'Peggers will also forever refer to Phoenix as the Jets.

Puddy _could_ be using the same analogy with the Devils - as the Rockies actually had their first season in 1974.
