Okay, time for more fascinating discussion. Here's a poll:
Which of the following characters do you think is the most interesting/ funny/or whatever and why?
Crazy Joe Divola Soup Nazi Davif Puddy Kenny Banya The Bubble Boy The Chinese Woman
For me? No contest. Crazy Joe Divola. Why is he so hostile? Why is he in therapy? What crimes (or misdemeanors) has he committed? How did he meet Jerry and Kramer? Why isn't he in a maximum security prison? Inquiring minds want to know?

Bit of Seinfeld trivia... ========================== Joe Divola is a real person. He is an executive producer in the television industry. He was always bugging Larry and Jerry to create a character with his name. So, after being pissed of at him, in a friendly way, they used his name for the insane Crazy Joe.
Funny thing, when my wife and I were doing a tourist tour of the WB studios people were taking pictures of all the celebrities and special sets on the lot. When the tour returned to the main building - there I saw a parking spot reserved with the name "Joe Divola" on the sign. I asked the driver to stop so "I" could take a picture but he was in a hurry and didn't believe I wanted a shot in the parking lot. NO TIP FOR HIM! LOL!
Okay, here's another trivia question - What other real people's names associated with TV and the show were used as characters on the show? I can think of two off the top of my head.

Thanks, one of my favorite bit characters on the show.
I guess that Jerry Seinfeld should be on the list too.

Bob Cobb, inventor of the Cobb Salad.
A "celebrity" not associated with TV production but if they ate Cobb salads off the craft table, then I guess it's okay. ;-)
Interesting, Larry also used the "inventor of Cobb Salad" concept in a "CYE" thread.
Wasn't that the Maestro? Bob Cobb?
Paige
Yes.

Wrong thread, I guess. I was watching that Curb episode yesterday which made me remember it was the Maestro's real name.

Steven Koren (the scholarship awardee in The Van Buren Boys) is the name of a writer on the show (The Serenity Now, The English Patient, The Dealership). By the way, these are among the worst of all episodes, so now we might know why.

Jon Voight.
Nope, that was not a "character" but a real person and he was not associated with TV.
There were many other celebrities who played themselves. I have that list on my web site.

A great John Houseman name. Alec Ber-er-er-er-er-er-erg!

Yes, I'd have to agree, of the people on that list, Crazy Joe is the most interesting. Most funny I think is Puddy, but maybe that's just my type of humor. I love the way he's so obtuse, but yet so serious about it. If that makes sense...

Yes! I got the biggest laughs from Puddy. I especially enjoyed the episode when he was into Christianity and told Elaine she was going to hell. HILARIOUS!
