The final episode

Kramer is quietly having a cop of coffee at the diner when the real (Kenny) Kramer walks in and begins complaining. "Who the hell are you?" says Kramer. "I'm Kramer." "No, I'm Kramer," says the real Kramer. In the end, Kenny wins the argument and replaces the familiar Kramer.

Next, the real Steinbrenner replaces the imitation.

Next, Larry David, the real George, replaces Costanza.

A jealous Shoshanna comes barging in from the real world to replace Elaine.

Jerry, meanwhile, becomes increasingly nervous waiting for something to happen to him, but nothing does. "I wanna be real too," he tells everyone.

But there is no... real... Seinfeld.

Wasn't Larry David in the episode where they are doing the casting for "Jerry"? I think he was the guy that was trying for the part of George Costanza..

No, that was a different actor. I can't seem to come up with his name right now, but I do know that he now plays Spence (Ellen's cousin) on "Ellen".

Thats right.. I remember seeing Larry David on tv with Kenny Kramer once, and I thought that he was in there..but yeah I see it now..its the guy from Ellen..

That would be Jeremy Piven that you're referring to (from the PCU fame).

Larry David has been on seinfeld twice...can anyone name which two episodes??????? he didnt play the same person

Larry David has played at least 3 roles:

In The Heart Attack, He is the weird character that Jerry sees on TV that causes Jerry to write down the "Flaming globes of Sigmund" line as inspiration for his standup routine.

In The Gum, Larry David works in the ticket booth at the Alex theater and refuses to take the $20 bill that George doodled on.

In The Chinese Woman, he plays Frank Costanza's lawyer who wears a cape.

Larry David also supplied the voice of George Steinbrenner in several episodes.

     Incidentally, there's another cameo appearance
(sort of) by Larry David, that we will never see or
hear again in the syndicated reruns. There was an
episode a few years back in which the character of
Newman was introduced...and we learned he was
threatening to commit suicide...but we didn't see
him, only heard his voice. That voice, in the original
NBC run, was supplied by Larry David.
     But when the decision was made to turn Newman
into a flesh and blood character rather than an off-
screen voice, Wayne Knight was hired to play him
(an inspired bit of casting, IMHO). The reruns of the
first episode, where Newman is seen but not heard,
were redubbed for syndication so that Knight's
voice is now heard reading the line instead of David's.
NBC may have the original tape with David's voice, but
it's doubtful they will ever play it again.

Wow. Either that's really bad, or you have a great sense of sarcasm.

This exchange has already happened. The actor who was going to play Kramer on "Jerry" didn't want to know what the real Kramer was like (as opposed to the woman playing Elaine, who wanted to know how Elaine kissed and also asked Jerry to call her Elaine). The eventually got down to the argument described above. Hey, I think it was in a coffee shop, but not Monk's the other one...without the big salad (to be shown 12/6/96).
