In the episode where George gets the job as a bra salesman. He goes to the elevator and "feels the material" of the woman standing there. When the woman calls for Sid Fargas, does he say "I'm sorry, Mr Gronmont"?

Why does Jerry call George...Biff?

I think he once called Biff Loman (from Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman") the biggest loser in the history of American literature.

Since I mentioned it, can you recall an episode where that play was mentioned (other than during George=Biff references)?

When Kramer wins the Tony, he's at Sardi's with a group of people and he's telling them, "Arthur, Artie...why don't you call it 'The Life of a Salesman.' That's what the people want to see."

I think there is one episode where George tells Jerry he has found a name he would call himself, if he should ever become a pornstar. This was Biff Naked. At least this is the case in the German version.

No, Biff is in reference to Biff Loman from the Arthur Miller play "Death of a Salesman." Jerry said that Biff was "the biggest loser in the history of American literature."

The porn star name that George came up with was Buck Naked.

Incidentally, "Death of a Salesman" recently won four Tonys including Best Revival of a Play. :-)
