Newman will leave the show due to contract negotiations with NBC falling through.

Fans mourn Newman's potential departure from the show, praising Wayne Knight's comedic performance and questioning whether NBC's failed negotiation with the actor is really final.

I agree wholeheartedly. I look forward to Newman who always leaves me laughing helplessly. I can't believe he'll be gone. That's not at all a step in the right direction for "Seinfeld".

Wayne definitely added a lot to the show.  In "The Chicken Roaster"
when Jerry made him taste the broccoli, the "Vile weed!" line was
beyond comical.  It transcended humor, it bypassed normal filters and
acted directly on the humor center of the brain.  I mean, it was funny.

I'm just wondering if it's definite that Wayne Knight won't be back. I think it's unbelievable for NBC just to make him an insulting offer and then not negotiate. Is this really true? After all, the Newman role has been getting more screen time over the past season. Suddenly losing the character makes no sense from any standpoint.
