Seinfeld
“Milton Berle once told me that if you can’t make a character funny, make him interesting,” says Michael Richards, 66, who turned Kramer, Jerry’s screwball next-door neighbor, into the quintessential sidekick on the decade-defining sitcom that was famously “about nothing.”Created by Larry David and starring Jerry Seinfeld as a fictionalized version of himself. Set predominantly in an apartment building in Manhattan’s Upper West Side in New York City, the show features a handful of Jerry’s friends and acquaintances, particularly best friend George Costanza played by Jason Alexander, former girlfriend Elaine Benes played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and the neighbor across the hall Cosmo Kramer played by Michael Richards. It is often described as being “a show about nothing”, as many of its episodes are about the minutiae of daily life.
