In the last episode Jerry called Kramer's mom to find out where he was. When he called her he saked for Mrs. Kramer...So either Kramer is Kramer Kramer or the cast of Sienfeld calls him by his last name.

In one of the original episodes Seinfeld gets in a cab and has a very short but humerous arguement with the cab driver. The cab driver's name was Chris Schousboe but I want to know who played him. I think it was an old school mate of mine named Rod McBain who went to Hollywood to seek fame and fortune but I am not sure. Does anyone know where I could write to obtain such information ?

Kramer is Kramer (and Kramer only), just as Cher is Cher. I believe this was decided in this newsgroup some time ago.

Incidentally, Cher's mother is named Babs Cher! How's that for coincidence?!

Our net just picked up this group so I don't know how you all decided that Kramer's full name is just Kramer. Please send the discussoins if anybody has them handy.

BTW, Everybody knows that Kramer is Kramer's LAST NAME!

I don't have any proof but I just Know, Therefore I am.

Well I just got the new fifth edition of Brooks and Marsh's Complete Directory to Prime Time Network TV Shows, AND it lists Jerry Seinfeld as himself, Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes, Jason Alexander as George Costanza, and Michael Richards as Kramer.

His name is Kramer. His mom's name being Mrs. (something) Kramer doesn't change the character's name.

And, by the way, he doesn't wear a "coat," he wears a JACKET!!!

:) :) (sorry that coat thread drove me nuts!!) :) :)

1st -  Jerry isn't the sole writer and creator of the show.
2nd -  Who cares if Cher is Cher.
3rd -  The book some lady read and said the guy who plays `Kramer' only called
       him that because that is all they know him as.
4th -  Don't get so defensive.
5th -  I know a guy named Naufel Naufel.
6th -  It's possible he has more of a name.
7th -  It's possible his only name is Kramer.
8th -  Maybe the writer's of the show need to subscribe to this network and
       realize the endless possibilities for new shows.

Well, I know a guy names Farshad Farshad. We call him Farshad SQUARED for short...

And about Kramer's name. I think I mentioned this once but I don't think "Kramer" even knows his OWN full name..... Nor do I think he cares...

Agreed ;-)

I know a guy names Sirhan Sirhan.

But didn't Weekend Update (sometime in the late 70's or early 80's) report that he changed his name to Sirhan Sirhan Sirhan?

And that the country of Chad had changed its name to Brian?

Sorry...just suffering from a memory relapse...back to Seinfeld!

So did everybody see the new twist on an old subject last night? The cover of the script that the police found on the person (oops, wouldn't want to be writing tickets for senior citizens with forged bus passes) of the dead body was as follows:

          ------------------------
          |       The Keys       |
          |   A Movie Treatment  |
           ------                |
                  \ by           |
                   \ Kramer      |
                    |            |
                    --------------

(Torn piece of paper, you get the idea.) So now you can see the mind games that the NBC writers are playing, and can cast your votes for his complete name.

Did you also notice that the newscaster said that he's "known only as Kramer"?

I guess we COULD find out something in the next episode, with all the police paperwork that's sure to take place.
