Fans discuss Jason Alexander's appearance on ABC's 'Before They Were Stars' segment, debating whether he wore a toupee in an old McDLT commercial and noting his hair loss since the 1980s.

Did anyone else catch the clip of Jason Alexander as the McDLT man in "Before they were Stars" last night on ABC? I thought it was hilarious! Was he weraing a TOUPEE or what?

No, that must have been a while ago (early-mid 80s). He probably had more hair then. I know I did!

I wanted to watch that show, but in my area it was pre-empted for a Billy Graham special. (Who's in charge of programming around here anyway?) Who else did they show? Was it any good?

Let's see now. He is balding now, he wasn't then, therefore he wore a toup. Wouldn't it be the other way around? :-)

That ad was "only" eight years ago, and he had a full head of CURLY hair. NOBODY loses that much hair in eight years, let alone having it straighten out.

Oh, come on. Curly-haired men go bald much faster. Also, the hair that Jason has is fairly curly. Besides, it looks as if Jason combs his hair as George to make him look more bald. I'm pretty sure it was his real hair. Dave
