All 4 Seinfeld cast members must be wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, so he can't be doing it for the money. And he continues to perpetuate his George Constanza persona even more in the Chrysler commercial? Maybe he's just decided that he may as well live with it.
My thought exactly, why doesn't Jason just accept the popularity of the "George" character that he so brilliantly brought to life and stop trying to run from it. I hope that the others don't get the "McLean Stevenson" syndrome.
He should beg NBC-or some network- for the chance to revive the George charachter and take him new places (ideally, wqith the old writers). "Count Floyd" wrote in message news:uPwrWwC05r1j-pn2-EoTm0TVjBllz@localhost...
This is what Jason said on Howard Stern a while ago:
Howard asked Jason what's going on with his TV career. He told Jason that there must be a "Seinfeld Curse" because everyone from "Seinfeld" has a failed show. Jason now has two! Jason told Howard that their show was doing very well at the end of it's season and it was even doing better than ''Everybody Loves Raymond'' did after it's second season and he thought it was going to be coming back next season. Jason thought it did very well in the ratings and CBS made a really dumb decision by canceling the show. Jason had meetings with everyone under Les (Moonves) and nothing happened. Howard said he believes that Jason will be back in some way on TV. Howard read that Jason made $13 million for the final season of "Seinfeld" but Jason told him that he invested heavily in the stock market and the millions disappeared. He said he's still doing okay but he doesn't have as much money as he did. He said he was going to get out of the market one week but he and his wife decided to stay in just one more. The next week was 9/11/2001 and the millions were gone. Jason said he's not out of the stock market now though. He's still in it. Howard and Artie had some fun goofing around with Jason about all of that. Artie was doing his ''Wah, Wah'' stuff with him on the stock market subject.
