Question

Fans discuss how other TV shows copy Seinfeld's format and ideas, and also note that many actors who appeared on Seinfeld guest-starred on other NBC shows like Friends, Newsradio, and Suddenly Susan.

That is where Jerry *graduated* from. He did attend SUNY Oswego (which is where I graduated from). More specifically his dorm room was in Scales Hall and you wouldn't believe how many people claim that their room was Jerry's.

Lets see, there are only three other networks - 180(?) episodes - about two or three guests per episode - how many could have come from NBC? about a third? Is that surprising?

CBS Actors on Seinfeld:

Brad Garrett, Ray's brother Robert on Everybody Loves Raymond played Jerry's mechanic.

Puddy used to be a regular on Dave's World.

Candice Bergen played herself playing Murphy Brown.

David Letterman played himself (although, I think he was on NBC at the time).

I dn't think CBS has any actors.. have you ever tuned in???

I don't keep track of which actors "belong" to which networks, but check out the FAQ sections 4.14 and 4.19 for the "Who's made appearances?" lists. There are quite a few celebrities and many stars who showed up on Seinfeld before they became stars.

Heck, last night I was flipping channels and found some new Army sitcom
featuring the tall, blond haired, goofy-looking guy who was in the
acting class with Kramer and Mickey when they were given diseases to act
out.  He was the guy who got "The surgeon left a sponge in me".  He only
had like 2 lines and somehow got a sitcom out of it.  Another happy
recipient from the Seinfeld Springboard to Success.

Last week I saw George's girlfriend Anna from the "Little Kicks" the one who digs "the bad boy" playing a receptionist or something on a sitcom.

Does anyone know the name of Elaine's roommate? I saw what I think is her in The Negotiator, the actresses name was Siobahn Fallon (sp?). She was quite good actually, she played one of the hostages. Great movie, by the way.

Siobahn Fallon used to be a regular on SNL.

Adding to the NBC actors who've appeared on Seinfeld:

Jon Lovitz (SNL, NewsRadio) Rob Schneider (SNL, Men Behaving Badly) Dana Gould (Working) Fred Savage (Working) Molly Shanahan (SNL)

Also,the woman who plays the ex-model on Just Shoot Me and used to be on Dream On. Sorry, don't know her name.
