In my mind, there is no doubt that Kenny Bania is based on none other than Tom Arnold. Years ago, he got on the bad side of the Seinfeld cast when he (while still married to Roseanne and a writer on her show) left an obscenity-filled note on Julia's car, which was parked in his spot in the parking lot of the studio the two shows taped at. For her part, JL-D didn't know that "Roseanne" was taping that same day.

Hmm. I'm ignorant here, but I always thought it was probably spelled "Banya" as opposed to "Bania". Can anybody verify for me? Thanks.

The credits (& that Entertainment Meekly issue) have it spelled with the "I."

His name is Kenny Bania (as spelled in the credits). His first appearance was in the episode "The Soup" where he gives Jerry a free Armani suit in exchange for a "meal."
