The realistic effect of George Costanza’s job to give up Senefield

In the “Seinfel” “The Revenge” (April 18, 1991), George (Jason Alexander) has become tired of his job in his boring office and wanted to quit. Specifically, George is angry with the fact that he is prevented from reaching his company’s executive bathroom. He storms the office of his boss early in the episode and continues an angry anger about how his boss, Mr. Levitan (Farid Applegit), broke out without talent and has no ideas in his head. George screams, “He resigned!” And storms angrily.

Then he immediately goes to see his friend Jerry (Jerry Sinfield) to talk about his possible chances of work. He has no. George has no talents or interests. He contemplates that he can be a sports broadcaster, although there is no experience in broadcasting. Jerry persuades George to return to the office on Monday and pretend that nothing happened. Just go back to work, and it will be as if he hadn’t left. He was just kidding! He just has a strange feeling of humor!

Of course, the plot does not work, and George is asked to leave the office after that.

It turned out that “revenge” was based on a true story. It is a recreation of the time when the co -founder “Seinfeld” Larry David resigned from his job as a writer “Saturday Night Live” in 1984. David, who was angry with the way that was the “84-85” season, angrily resigned, making it clear that he will not return. However, David expressed unfortunately, and he just decided to return anyway, hoping that no one noticed his cohsha. Unlike George, the David scheme was made. It talks about the experience in the special features of DVD “Seinfeld”.

(By the way, All “Saturday Night Live” on the peacock))

“Revenge” was the first episode “Sinfield” written by David without collaborators. On DVD “Seinfeld”, he talks about his experiences in “Saturday Night Live”, and repeat the story In “The Late Show with David Letterman” in 2007. It is clear that David was angry because it was not any of the drawings he was writing that made her on the air. He decided to deal with one of the display producers, Dick Ebsol – just five minutes before the episode is about to start filming – and said: “That’s it!

“While I was walking at home, I started calculating the amount of money that I cost myself. Then I went to my neighbor, who was Kenny Kramer, the character that the offer (Kramer version) was based on, and told me,” Well, why not only return on Monday and pretend that it never happened? “I thought,” hey, you know, I think you got something there! “So I entered on Monday, and I succeeded!”

David was very straightforward about how Cosmo Kramer (played by Michael Richards in the show) He relied on his neighbor’s neighbor, Kenny. When it is time to write the text program on “Revenge”, David decided that Jerry was the person who invented the “Count to the Office” scheme, not a karmer. He also decided to give his story an unhappy end, as George was not invited to return. George, terrible forever (like all “Sinfield” characters) should be constantly punished, Even if he has never learned or grows.

David got the disturbance of “SNL” until the end of the season. It was just finished drawing one drawing on the air in that season, and it was assembled at 12:50 am, directly at the end of the show when most viewers already went to sleep. It is not perfect for an ambitious comedy writer, but it is fair to say that everything has succeeded for him in the end.
