Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander Slams Mitt Romney For ‘George Constanza’ Reference During Debate
During last night’s debate, Republican hopeful Mitt Romney name-dropped George Costanza, the irascible pop cultural icon from the 90s hit show Seinfeld, after he had received applause.
“What’s the George Costanza line?” Romney joked. “When they’re applauding, you sit down…”
BuzzFeed’s Scott Lamb observed that Romney had actually botched the line:
The actual quote (from “Seinfeld” episode 172, “The Burning”):
JERRY: Showmanship, George. When you hit that high note, you say goodnight and walk off.
The actor who portrayed Costanza, Jason Alexander, fired back via Twitter about the former Massachusetts governor’s Seinfeld reference, tweeting, “Thrilled Gov. Romney enjoys my old character. I enjoyed the character he used 2 b 2. If he’d embrace that again, he’d b a great candidate.”

He stopped short, however, of saying the jerk store had called.
