Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichael Richards took 2 takes to perform the famous scene where Kramer smokes and drinks simultaneously. The first take showed Richards belching out smoke, which ended up as an outtake, so the second take ended up in the final cut instead. It was this scene that clinched Richards his second Emmy award.

- Quotes
George Costanza: Jerry, where'd you get that sweater?
Jerry Seinfeld: What do you think? I found it in the back of my closet!
George Costanza: I think that's what the back of closets are for.

A little trivia
I was there for the taping in 1993 and I loved the episode. Kramer's belch was classic and I'm glad people can see it in the outtakes. My little bit of trivia involves Estelle Harris, George's mother. During a break I chatted with her outside the studio. She was super nice. She had an injured ankle or something and was walking with crutches. She put them aside whenever they started shooting. I also recall that whenever Jerry Stiller screamed his head off, which was his usual volume, Larry David could be seen with a big smile, beaming with delight. What else? In those days, when the show included Jerry's standup, they would shoot the standup one day, I think a Monday, and then shoot the episode the next day. I think the standup audience would typically include staff members, such as Karen Wilkie. I attended the taping as part of a group of Seinfeld fans who were connected by the "usenet" group alt.seinfeld. This was in the early days of commercial internet. Members of the group had gotten to know Karen, in the office, I think, which lead to an invitation for the group to come to a taping. We came from all over the country and after the taping was over we got special treatment. After the audience had left, we were allowed to descend upon the set, take pictures, etc. And many of us got autographs from cast members who graciously hung around. The issue of Rolling Stone with the cast on the cover had just come out as I recall, and some got those autographed. Jerry was less friendly than the others, seeming to have things on his mind and a bit annoyed by our buzzing around the set. Jerry appeared the next day on Leno, to which we also were extended invitations---I had almost forgotten about that!
