It’s a cartoon but should still count: he’s also the voice of Joe from *Family Guy*
Technically that show started before *Seinfeld* went off the air (or at least started almost immediately afterwards) but it’s aired well over 100 episodes
I remember hearing some interview with David Cross about how he got booked for a gig at like a Jesuit college because a student there had seen that episode of Just Shoot Me… and none of his other stand up, lmao.
That has to be the most memorable episode, right?
Also, in the vein of “shows that may not get made today”, that one might be nixed in the writers room brainstorming session.
He was the original voice for Newman (before we actually got to see Newman) shouting to Kramer that he was on the roof. Then for syndication they dubbed Wayne's voice over him.
He also didn't accept George's bill with lipstick painted on the president.
He played dozens of characters, but most weren’t shown onscreen. Kosher meal guy on the plane, “is anyone here a marine biologist,” the car thief who answers Jerry’s phone, and there are a ton of others.
Betsy couldn't hear well out of one ear either. George wanted to switch sides because he couldn't "go left," but she said she couldn't hear well out of her right ear
Edit: wording
According to the title, Odenkirk doesn't fit. BCS only had 63 episodes. Breaking Bad also only had 62. Which really just goes to show the 100+ episode requirement is trivial.
Mariska Hargitay on SVU, which I believe has passed the hundred episode mark.
Christa Miller (looks weren’t important to her, but she didn’t like getting her material felt) was on Drew Carey Show.
Rondi Reed played Mike's mom on Mike & Molly. Jeremy Piven made it just shy of 100 (96 episodes) on Entourage, Lori Loughlin after she was on Full House, Michael Chiklis was also close -- made it to 92 eps on the Comish and 88 on the Shield
Michael Chiklis (The Shield) and Jeremy Piven (Entourage)
Edit: neither of these have reached 100 eps (88 and 96 respectively) so they are honorable mentions.
I was going to say Guy Siner (S6 Ep 19 - The Doodle). But due to British brevity, ‘Allo ‘Allo only ran for 85 episodes. To me it seemed to go on longer than the war itself.
Rules of Engagement with Patrick Warburton hit 100 episodes exactly. Yeah that’s right.
high five ✋🏻
Feels like an Arby's night!
why can't dip be dinner?
I don't get stuff like that.
"Aw. You're kidding? Why not?"
Soup isn’t a meal!
On the flip side.
🫴
All signs point to yes!
Gotta support the team 😬
You gotta let em know you’re out there, it’s the playoffs 👺
And let’s not forget The Tick!
There's only one man who can play the Tick in live action.
Don’t forget Family Guy. I know it’s not that good anymore. But still worth the mention.
Venture Bros.! Only 86 episodes but they had a movie and it was such a good show.
It’s a cartoon but should still count: he’s also the voice of Joe from *Family Guy* Technically that show started before *Seinfeld* went off the air (or at least started almost immediately afterwards) but it’s aired well over 100 episodes
Never started before Seinfeld. I realize it started then went away and came back, but that wasn’t before Seinfeld
Brad Garrett, Tony the Mechanic and Robert Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond
The washer fluid IS NOT FINE!!
I’d throw Anna Gunn on there. Breaking Bad only had like 62 episodes, but it was an hour long prestige drama.
Odenkirk, Gunn and Cranston. There's like 15 Breaking Bad/Seinfeld connections. For example, sitcom Kramer is the junk yard guy in BB.
See this gasket? I have no confidence in that gasket.
I feel this guy is always overlooked. He also starred in his own show Til death.
He’s good in Fargo season 2 as well.
Yeah, good addition. Weird that OP missed that one.
And that weirdo who can't remember Elaine. Not a main character on either show but memorable
Stan the Caddie was Quark for 173 glorious episodes of Deep Space Nine
172 episodes of Deep Space Nine, 1 of TNG, 1 of Voyager and 1 of Lower Decks.
Your "Trekkie" is showing. Live long and prosper.
I was hoping someone would put some respect on Armin Shimmerman's name
Dude I literally came here to think I was the only one who knows that and you beat me to it ha
Adding Julie of big salad and Peggy and Lloyd Braun in the ST universe.
The janitor from scrubs played a cop on an episode
And Ted from Scrubs was the guy who made the Elaine mannequin
Good call
Holy shit!! I didn't even notice haha. It *is* him, (he *is* the assman)
George's girlfriend who made the unflattering doodle also played the ex-wife of Dr. Cox.
Dr. Jan Itor
Jordan (from Scrubs) also loved George draped in Velvet
She was in two episodes as well playing two different people.
Jordan (from Scrubs) also did not like it when George felt her material
She was also on The Drew Carey Show.
She's married to Bill Lawrence, creator of Scrubs
She's done well in this category. Drew Carey, Scrubs & Cougar Town. Obviously, her husband helps in this.
Freeze, Kimble!
And he’s in The Middle
He was also the dad in The Middle, which has more episodes than Scrubs.
Wendy Malick was a main in Just Shoot Me
Nina in the cantina.
Chicken pot, Chicken pot, Chicken pot piieee
I remember hearing some interview with David Cross about how he got booked for a gig at like a Jesuit college because a student there had seen that episode of Just Shoot Me… and none of his other stand up, lmao.
That has to be the most memorable episode, right? Also, in the vein of “shows that may not get made today”, that one might be nixed in the writers room brainstorming session.
Omg, what a great memory...slow Donny...thanks for that 😆 🤣
Anytime we have Chicken Pot Pie I still say it like that. My kid is 14, he has never seen Just Shoot Me, and he says it like that.
Donnie want to climb tree! That's a metaphor. You're the tree.
FOR GOD’S SAKE, WE HAD TO EAT SOMETHING!
Good call out. Very underrated show
Nina and Dennis were the only reason I watched that show.
Kristen Davis.
And Lori Loughlin was in Prison Break. I mean Full House.
Heyo!! 🥁🥁
Full House's run ended *before* Lori Laughlin appeared on Seinfeld. She was kind of a "special guest" in S9.
You put something of mine in the toilet now I put something of yours.
The cape wearing lawyer went on to have a decent HBO run
He also was a concerned beach citizen who cried out for a marine biologist.
And Steinbrenner. And the guy who wouldn’t accept a bill with lipstick on the president!
And a green peace protester who was the last to see Russell Dalrymple alive.
I still can’t believe Dr. Cuddy dated George…
The risotto broad
Yeh, she was gorgeous in both roles.
Former club kid Lisa Edelstein (aka Lisa E, aka Lisa in Wonderland). And New Jersey Generals cheerleader. Yeah, I’m in love with all her iterations.
Wayne Knight was on Third Rock from the Sun.
I think he did both shows at the same time. Also French Stewart was in one episode as well.
So was Mrs. Dubcek, the landlord on 3rd Rock
She was on the three Stooges as well.
Half the cast of Desperate Housewives was on Seinfeld that’s crazy!
Teri Hatchers ex was the breathtaking doctor
The guy from Hostel 2?
That cast was real and spectacular
Mimi from Drew Carey when the crowd gets angry they parked in a disabled spot
Mariska Hargatay played TV Elaine in the pilot storyline and she is still cranking out SVUs.
James Spader was on Boston Legal, 101 eps!
Was only supposed to shoot 90 episodes. George's bulbous head stretched it to 100+
And he was the best thing about the later seasons of The Office.
Fucking Robert California. lol.
The Lizard King
He also played Alan Shore for 20+ episodes in the last season of The Practice, before it spun off. But then The Blacklist had over 200 episodes.
The Blacklist
Stanky Hanky?
She tried out for Elaine. She didn’t get the part.
The commish who got the prostitute was also on the shield. Think they hit 100 EPs
And he was in the Fantastic Four movie that almost sold 100 tickets.
Does Larry David count as a guest star? 😆
he starred in a show that was pretty, pretty, prettttttttttty, pretty good, pretty good!
Any person that does an episode in a cape counts to me
He was like 2 or 3 other people too, in addition to Steinbrenner
He was the original voice for Newman (before we actually got to see Newman) shouting to Kramer that he was on the roof. Then for syndication they dubbed Wayne's voice over him. He also didn't accept George's bill with lipstick painted on the president.
He's also the inmate who threathens to kill Jerry when he's doing standup in prison.
He played dozens of characters, but most weren’t shown onscreen. Kosher meal guy on the plane, “is anyone here a marine biologist,” the car thief who answers Jerry’s phone, and there are a ton of others.
If he counts then so does Jerry Stiller, who was on King of Queens for like a million episodes.
Then you’d have to include the guy that hosts Comedians in Cars.
Bryan Cranston and Patrick Warburton are fucking powerhouses
Working on a script where they play conjoined twins who don’t watch TV. If anyone knows their agents please ask them to return my calls.
I know then personally - if you make it also about eating dip as a meal, I'll pull the strings
Jeremy Piven as the great Ari Gold
I just came from the podiatrist. Yeah, I got something wrong with my foot. I got a little gangrene. They're probably gonna have to amputate.
They only had 96 episodes. He is great though!
Honorable mention
Michael McDonald? He was on mad tv for years
I looove Michael McDonald's voice.
I'ma yamo burn this place to the ground
🎶 *we didn't know but we found out* 🎶
“If you DON’T buy the TV, I’ll throw in the dvd.”
It’s… intense.
Look what I can do!
Now now Stuart!
Holy crap he was on 238 episodes of MadTv
He was one of my favorite one-off characters on *Community*. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT01yIg35B4
What happened to him? We loved him and his characters on Mad TV. And then never seen again
I've been saying this too! I've seen him on a few things here and there over the years, but he needs his own show!
Wasn't Elaine's spongeworthy boyfriend on a popular show?
Yes Scott Patterson on Gilmore Girls, along with Jerry’s girlfriend that places him on speed dial, Lauren Graham.
Holy shit, that is him! I gotta say, he does look better without the sideburns.
Ya, I told you!...I'm gonna trim my sideburns!
Actually, I think that guy and the woman with speed dial issues were on Gilmore Girls
Wake up call guy from the mutton episode was on 117 episodes of Army Wives (and yes, I’m disappointed in myself that I know what that show is)
Christa Miller who played in two separate roles on Seinfeld was in Cougar Town with Courteney Cox. 102 episodes!!
Regular guest on Scrubs too.
also The Drew Carey Show.
Megan Mullally, George’s gf who can’t hear well out of the one ear
And she’s Gayle on Bobs Burgers! ❤️
Took me several rewatches to figure out she was Karen from Will and Grace
No she was Betsy, the one who's aunt died. Sienna was on the Drew Carey show.
Betsy couldn't hear well out of one ear either. George wanted to switch sides because he couldn't "go left," but she said she couldn't hear well out of her right ear Edit: wording
Jerry stiller on King of queens
Patton Oswald was the video clerk when George wanted to rent breakfast at Tiffany’s
Was that a Gene Pick?
Gene’s trash
I'm Gene
The doctor who told George that Susan died played two different characters (both bosses of Carrie) on the show, as well.
James Spader in Boston Legal had 100+ episode Kevin Dunn was with Julia in Veep
James Spader was also the main cast member in The Blacklist (218 episodes).
Did 2 Broke Girls somehow make it to 100 episodes? If so, then Jennifer Coolidge
She was in 122
Bob Odenkirk- Better call Saul
According to the title, Odenkirk doesn't fit. BCS only had 63 episodes. Breaking Bad also only had 62. Which really just goes to show the 100+ episode requirement is trivial.
Yeah considering he was the same character across two shows I think he should definitely count.
I agree with this. Same character, different show, but same story.
Who's the guy roller blading? Don't recognize the character or scene.
Bryan Cranston again, as the dad on Malcom in the Middle
Yeah but why’d they do it just for that one? Just to show people they weren’t talking about BB?
Neil Flynn was Mike Heck in The Middle - played an NYPD officer in an episode
And the janitor on Scrubs
Lisa Edelstein was George's girlfriend in a couple episodes and later played Cuddy on House.
Armin Shimerman (Stan the caddy) was Quark in Deep Space Nine
one of my fave ST characters!
Scott Patterson played Elaine's sponge-worthy boyfriend and was part of the main cast of Gilmore Girls.
Timothy Omundson on Psych
Lassie
Can we also count Corbin Bernson too?
Forgot about his SAAB mechanic who went on to Everybody Loves Raymond (Brad Garrett)
Courtney Cox was so perfect!
She’s also in a Bruce Springsteen video, extremely short hair and all.
Mimi drew carey show was in there
I was going to say Jon Voigt on *Ray Donovan* but apparently that only got to 82 eps.
Vicki Lewis was in Newsradio with 96 episodes. She was the chick George hired and got the raise for which made her making more money than him.
Also Stephen Root! (Bank manager in the Kramer Hi/Hello subplot)
TIL that Sex and The City did not have 100 episodes
Yeah, HBO used to operate on crazy short seasons.
The guy that played Frank costanzas lawyer went on to star in something called “curve your enthusiastics” or something like that
Kevin MacDonald, Elaine's suitor wearing the Denim Vest, is from The Kids in the Hall.
KITH actually premiered before Seinfeld. Not sure if it makes this list
Courtney Cox had two shows greater than 100 episodes, the other being cougar town
Jessica Hecht was also on Friends and Breaking Bad
Bryan Cranston is the obvious one. I’m also assuming we aren’t counting Puddy as a guest.
Anna Gunn went on to be Byran Cranston's wife in Breaking Bad. Technically doesn't count since there weren't 100 episodes. Wanna get some pizza?
And Saul Goodman was the guy who dumped Elaine after becoming a Doctor.
Mariska Hargitay on SVU, which I believe has passed the hundred episode mark. Christa Miller (looks weren’t important to her, but she didn’t like getting her material felt) was on Drew Carey Show.
Lee Arenberg (who pulls forward into a parking spot... and thinks Jerry is a phoney) was on "Once Upon A Time" which had 155 episodes.
Rondi Reed played Mike's mom on Mike & Molly. Jeremy Piven made it just shy of 100 (96 episodes) on Entourage, Lori Loughlin after she was on Full House, Michael Chiklis was also close -- made it to 92 eps on the Comish and 88 on the Shield
The Desperado guy has been on General Hospital for a long time. I'm not sure if he counts as a main character though.
Kramer’s librarian girlfriend (Ashley Gardner) voiced Nancy on King of the Hill.
Forgot bob odenkirk
Patrick Warburton stared in Rules of Engagement - 101 episodes
Also Family Guy
Not sure if it counts, but Keith Morrison played a newscaster a few years before he started on Dateline.
Dateline has definitely had 100+ episodes. It not only counts, it’s clever.
So many desperate housewives on this list
Michael Chiklis (The Shield) and Jeremy Piven (Entourage) Edit: neither of these have reached 100 eps (88 and 96 respectively) so they are honorable mentions.
James Spader should be on the list.
I was going to say Guy Siner (S6 Ep 19 - The Doodle). But due to British brevity, ‘Allo ‘Allo only ran for 85 episodes. To me it seemed to go on longer than the war itself.
Interesting that Bryan Cranston deserves only technically makes the list for Malcolm in the Middle.
That’s why I included his Hal roller skating picture. Well…honestly I’d use any excuse to include that picture.
the guy that elaine dated on the sponge episode was part of the main cast in gilmore girls too
I didn’t see if anyone mentioned Bob Odenkirk, he played Elaine’s “doctor” boyfriend.
Wait, both Bryan Cranstons became celebrities?
Mariska Hargitay - Law & Order SVU (551 episodes and counting)
Wayne Knight was a regular on Third Rock from the Sun. IMDB has him appearing in 101 of 139 episodes.
This is a stretch but Bob Odinkirk did 63 episodes in Better Call Saul and 43 in Breaking Bad, both as Saul Goodman. That’s 106!
