9. Celebrity Sightings

jerry_seinfeld_bryan_cranston_seinfeld_episode_the_yada_yada_1997 Seinfeld was filled with celebrities making guest appearance. Did it make any of their careers? No, but it's fun to watch now and see faces you never thought you would. The biggest star of them all would have to be Bryan Cranston (pictured above) who played Jerry and Kramer's dentist Dr. Tim Whatley. He appeared in the role from 1994-1997. One of his more memorable episodes came from when he converted to Judaism, just so he could tell Jewish jokes. Of course Jerry took offense to this, not as a Jewish man but as a comedian. I mean, it really just doesn't get any better then that. Bryan Cranston has since come a long way in his now break out role in Breaking Bad. If you haven't seen it, you need to. Like now. Stop reading this and go watch it! I promise I won't be offended. Moving on.. Other celebrities making Seinfeld appearances include Courteney Cox from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. fame, who played Jerry's girlfriend and fake wife in order to get a discount on dry cleaning. Michael Chiklis of The Shield and Fantastic 4 played a party host to Jerry, George and Elaine. Later tracking Jerry down at his apartment in hopes of hanging out and partying. However Jerry ditches him so Michael ends up hanging out with Kramer instead only to hire a hooker that Jerry later has to pay for. Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives played Jerry's girlfriend who eventually gets her breasts grabbed by Elaine in the sauna. Then later accuses Jerry of having Elaine do it on purpose to find out if they were real. For the record, they were real, and they were spectacular. Needless to say, that relationship didn't last. Brad Garrett from Everybody Loves Raymond played Jerry's mechanic Tony, who became obsessed with Jerry's car and was disturbed to find out that Jerry didn't take very good care of it. Which of course resulted in him stealing it and driving it to the country only to be followed by Kramer and Newman who were left behind once Tony started throwing golf clubs at them. Long story. Now these are just some of the celebrities that appeared on Seinfeld through out the years. Trust me, I'm barely scratching the surface. Watch, and you'll see..
