In episode #16 - The Chinese Restaurant" Jerry mentions that he has a sister. Does anyone know if he does? And if so, what is her name?

He does have a sister, but I don't know her name. Last Monday night "Biography" did an hour on Jerry, and his sister (who looks just like him- not good in a girl!) was interviewed. Actually, she was not bad looking, and gave a lot of info about how he was when he was growing up-- always joking, always knew he wanted to do comedy. It was an interesting hour. And a damn sight more entertaining than the finale. Juanita

Her last name was Liebling. I think her first name was Carolyn, not sure though.

Yep...her name's Carolyn Liebling, she's a CPA , she's two years older than Jerry and she manages money... with Jerry as her #1 client.

Her name has never been/will never be revealed. She was never mentioned again after that episode. It may even have been a slip, but it was a mention, so as far as the FAQ is concerned, Jerry has a sister. [email]

name?

again after that episode.

True...but it doesn't wipe her out of existence. It's an off- hand reference, in all likelihood, to Jerry's real-life sister Carolyn Liebling, who is a CPA and money manager (and has Jerry as her #1 real-life client). They just never found any particular reason to introduce a character based on her into the show...
