Fans identify the episode where Jerry pronounces the Englishman Ian's name as "Eeen" as "The Wig Master," and discuss the character actor Norman Brenner who plays him.
Hi group,
Which episode is it where Elaine is dating an Englishman by the name Ian, whose name Jerry pronounces in an exaggerated way as Eeen?
I watched "The Soup" yesterday and thought it was that Englishman, but now I can't recall Jerry saying that "Eeen"

Ian is a friend of Craig's, who promised Elaine a discount on a Nicole Miller dress in _The Wigmaster_. Eeen was entitled to the same discount at The Andover Shop.
The "bounder" in _The Soup_ is named Simon.

Lars,
Eeen was played by Norman Brenner, a fellow who shows up in a large number of shows (as a background character). Usually he has no lines, sometimes he does ("Do you have the time?" comes to mind). I am sure NewsguyMike's site has them all listed somewhere.
It's been a sport trying to spot him in every episode. He's like Waldo.

Well The Maestro has an error in his F.A.Q. The above episode should read "The Wigmaster".

Hope I don't tread on thin ice here, Lars old buddy, but Jerry doesn't ever say "Eeen". Craig, the phony salesman from the Andover shop says it when he introduces him to Elaine. It's in the "free exchange of sex and discounts" episode. I don't know its name.
This has nothing to do with the Englishman Elaine "dates" for a few days until they start despising each other. Different episode altogether.
Why don't you go to a Seinfeld site and just download all the episode summaries?

Why would I? I keep buying the DVD's the very day they are out. And then I brighten up the day for all the actual fans of the show by popping a question or a comment in this group whenever I have one.
People here know every scene in detail, every line in the scripts, every frown or raised eyebrow. Nothing from the show is too minute or trivial for us to pore over in excruciating detail.
Do you have any idea how much money Jerry Seinfeld has earned from this show? How many awards he has won, how many talk shows and such he has been invited to? And still almost ten years after hanging it up every door is open to him. And you say he is not funny. Maybe you are not so funny yourself?
