In the episode “Seinfeld” “The Red Dot” (December 11, 1991), George (Jason Alexander) deplores the fact that he is without work. Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) manages to provide him with a concert in a publishing cabinet, for which he is entirely grateful. While working on the company, George strikes with a woman named Evie (Bridget Sienna) who works on the concierge staff of the building. George and Evie almost instantly encourage a torrid story, and they regularly start to regularly copulate George’s office after the hours. It should be noted that the case is not authorized by management; It is unusual for employees to sleep with concierge staff and vice versa.
George, of course, is broken. Mr. Lippman (Richard Fancy), by learning the case, calls George in his office to dress and a clean termination. When he was faced with his relationship, George, not really missing a beat, asks Mr. Lippman if what he was doing was against the rules. “Was it not? Shouldn’t I have done that?” he asks. George underlines that he has worked in offices where the interoff coupling is common. “I have to plead ignorance about this thing,” he said. He had no idea that “this kind of thing was frowned upon.” However, George’s simulated ignorance does not save him. Mr. Lippman immediately shoots him.
In An interview in 2024 with the Daily MailAlexander said that alone as his favorite. Of all the moments of “Seinfeld” when the Callow George really showed its real colors, “was it bad?” The moment in “The Red Dot” was the most honest. George, like the four tracks of “Seinfeld”, was caprifying, neurotic and mean. Alexander found “The Red Dot” as the most sparkling – and the best – George has never been.
Jason Alexander loved how much George was flowing
Alexander loved George specifically because the character was a kind of scoundrel. “George rose to his own petard so many times, and had to get out of a hole, or not to widen in a hole,” he said. George had a huge ego, a lot of rage, and gave honesty a very low priority. Alexander loved the way George lied and cheated with tiny ways all the time, and was caught almost each time. It was “The Red Dot” who came to my mind immediately when he was asked about his favorite “Seinfeld” moments, however. He said.
“The one I remember so clearly, because I thought it was so brilliant, was in an episode where George worked in the publishing company, and he had sex in his office with the cleaning lady, and He was caught. […] If you write this scene and you are going: “Okay, I have this guy George Costanza, what happens next?” Whatever you imagined, it wouldn’t be what they found. [‘Was that wrong’?] […] It is the brightest test to save yours behind that I could have imagined. “”
Alexander loved his nine years on “Seinfeld” and was a key contributor to the long -standing success of the show. He was even able to direct once. George was based very directly on the co-creator of “Seinfeld” Larry David, which can be seen without eyeshadow in the series “Curb your enthusiasm”. Looking at “Curb” only makes Alexander’s performance all the more impressive. “Seinfeld” was always aimed at deconstructing traditional sitcom standards by filling one with nothing other than small characters unable to learn. The joke worked well for nine complete years.
