I think you mean Alec Berg(a good John Housman name), who got them tickets to the Rangers game.
fyi: Alec Berg is the name of a real guy who works on Seinfeld--he is a producer or somesuch; his name appears every week in the closing credits.
His name was "Alec Berg" (played by Paul Reiser). It was "The Face Painter" episode. According to Jerry, he had a real John Houseman name, "Alec Beeerrrg."
If you watch the end credits for the episodes of the past three or so seasons, you'll see that the REAL Alec Berg is a "Program Consultant."
Ironically enough, Alec Berg co-wrote the "Todd Gack" episode ("The Calzone").

Played by Paul Reiser? Where did you come up with that one? I don't know what the actor's name was, but it definitely wasn't Paul Reiser!!
No, Alec Berg wasnt played by Paul Reiser, but has anoyone noticed that Alec Berg is the name of someone who is actually involved with the show?
Watch the credits.

Sorry, I can't help you with the other name. But, this Gaak guy really came up with a most wonderful method for asking a girl out, don't you think ?
Actually, they were Ranger Tickets and the name of the guy who gave them to Jerry was Alec Berg (Jerry says he has a good John Houseman name - "Alec Buhrrrgh"). The real-life Alec Berg is a producer of the show.
The Calzone epside was really good. i missed it the first time. it had all the elements that i like about the show and all the characters (except george's parents) had great moments.

He sold some imitation cigars to Jerry should have been Cuban cigars, but they are from Peru. I like when Kramer dumps all the coins on Todd when he delivered the money for the cigars!
