Seinfeld Quiz: Can You Guess The Episode By Its Guest Star?
Do you remember who played Eric the Clown?
In its marathon nine-season run, Seinfeld had a revolving door of extremely talented guest stars. From unknown actors looking for a break to already established stars making a cameo, everybody wanted to be on Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld’s iconic sitcom. That in itself is a great testament to the show’s popularity and success.
Some of those guest appearances are easily forgotten in the massive catalogue of Seinfeld episodes, but there are a number of them that were so memorable that they still live in our collective consciousness. Whether it’s a hilarious line they said or a particularly ridiculous situation they found themselves in, they managed to stand out among the rest.
Another thing that influences this is Seinfeld’s incredible rewatchability. For example, if you were watching season five’s The Glasses in the last few years, you would immediately recognise Jerry’s girlfriend Amy as Skyler from Breaking Bad. She wasn’t nearly as famous back in the day, though, and you would be forgiven for not remembering her at all after the first viewing of the episode.
But some of those appearances have become so iconic that fans can almost immediately identify the episode and its plot just by knowing who the guest star was. Are you one of those superfans? You can test your knowledge in this quiz and see how well you actually remember Seinfeld’s guest stars.
