A Picture About Nothing?

A Meeting About Nothing?

What Year Is It?
(NY Daily News)

Worlds are colliding!

Yes, that is Jason Alexander (ie-George Costanza) and Jerry Seinfeld walking into Tom’s Restaurant in New York City, which was renamed “Monk’s Cafe” for the sitcom favorite Seinfeld. Not only were they spotted at this Upper West Side eatery, but they did so in classic George and Jerry attire. 

For the record: this photograph is real and it’s fantastic!

But why the nostalgic get together with cameras filming inside?

That appears to be question on everyone’s mind. That, and where are Kramer and Elaine!?

Here are a few ideas to ponder…just imagine you’re sitting on a bench on a quintessential New York boardwalk one peaceful afternoon with beautiful white birds ready to part like the Red Sea upon reaching a conclusion with the internal soundtrack of Lionel Richie’s “Hello” playing with precision and purpose:

  • It was for an episode of Jerry’s web series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
  • Jason and Jerry discussed a play that Larry David has reportedly written to bring Seinfeld to Broadway
  • Jason and Jerry met to arrange a Seinfeld reunion movie
  • Or, perhaps, this was ultimately a get together about nothing.

Except, as fans of the ’90s sitcom know too well, the show was never really a show just about nothing.

Whatever the reason for bringing George and Jerry back together in public, it was well worth it. It’s very likely the meeting had something to do with the recent announcement that Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are collaborating on an exciting new project.

Jerry and George got some food at their sitcom hangout, they talked a little bit, something amazing happened, yada yada yada, the world will never be the same again.
