Could anyone help me think of any actors who have performed on both Seinfeld and The Simpsons? Here are the ones I can think of so far:

  • Jon Lovitz
  • Bette Midler
  • George Wendt
  • Janeane Garofalo

Thanks.

Rather the opposite. Seinfeld was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno in part one of The Trip. No sign of Jay, except by name, however, in that episode. Jay's other guests that evening were Corbin Bernsen and George Wendt.

Ah, also in The Shower Head, which actually credits Jay Leno (though I could swear recalling Leno's voice in The Trip, perhaps uncredited?):

(from <http://www.geocities.com/tnguym/scripts/TheShowerhead.html>):

Jerry is on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Jay: Welcome back. Talking with Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry, lemme ask you, I saw some people back there, they look like.. family? Is that family?

Jerry: Yeah, I got some family backstage. Course my family's nuts; they're crazy. Yep. My uncle Leo, (quick take of Uncle Leo in bet with Lydia, watching Jerry on TV. Lydia is laughing, Leo is not) I had lunch with him the other day, he's one of these guys that anything goes wrong in life, he blames it on anti-Semitism. You know what I mean, the spaghetti's not al dente? Cook's an anti-Semite. Loses a bet on a horse. Secretariat? Anti-Semitic. Doesn't get good seat at the temple. Rabbi? Anti-Semite.

So now I'm curious, were there any references to an appearance of Jerry's on Carson's Tonight Show?

A bit obscure, but Gedde Watanabe and Sab Shimono who both appeared in "The Checks" episode also did voices on a couple Simpsons episodes.
