If you, like me, are weirdly obsessed with the iconic ’90s comedy that is Seinfeld, you may often find yourself awake at 3 am deep-diving into bizarre rabbit holes of trivia about the legendary sitcom.
More likely, though, you don’t do that because you’re a normal, functioning human being – so that’s where I come in!
The hugely popular series created by comedy legend Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld has been credited for kick-starting the careers of several up-and-coming stars who would later go on to be successful in their own right, including Bryan Cranston, Courtney Cox and Denise Richards.
