Am I the only one who noticed that in the first (post-olympic) epsiode the security guard at the gate yelled 'hello' to the driver of the convertible that crashed through the barricade without stopping? I assumed this was Kramer (couldn't see the driver even on video replay) based on the previous scene (can't remember exactly the tie-in now). Anyway the guard said "Hello, Michael". Is this a reference to Kramer's first name?

It was Kramers car, as he is seen pulling away in it later when he drops a pile of photographs of himself. However, I do not remember the guard saying anything other than "Hey!"

i think: the security guard wasn't an actor but a real security guard and they were using the real gate to the studios, and the guy flubbed and called him by his real name (michael richards, right?) and the editors didn't catch it.

IMHO.

I figured that the security guard just THOUGHT it was Michael Richards... after all, Kramer and Michael Richards look a lot alike.

If you have it on tape, try watching it again. I just did last night, and it's definitely Kramer saying "Hi, Mike" to the security guard, as he crashes through the gate.
