What was almost Kramer's first name on Seinfeld?
Whether you say the word “Newman” under your breath anytime you hear about someone with that last name, answer the phone with “Helloooooooo”, or just say No [insert food item] for you!” at dinner every single night, not a person on this planet is immune from the influence of Seinfeld.
The iconic ‘90s sitcom was also one of the most successful TV shows ever, placing either first or second in Nielsen ratings for the final four years of its existence. And, naturally, one Cosmo Kramer had a significant part in that immense success.
