Julia Louis-Dreyfus calls 'Seinfeld curse' ‘ridiculous'
foxnews.comJulia Louis-Dreyfus is speaking out about the "Seinfeld curse," labeling it "ridiculous." The "Veep" star agreed with a Rolling Stone interviewer that the term was "invented by the media." "They thought it was clever," she added in the interview published Tuesday. "You don’t need me to prove it wrong, it was ridiculous!
It made no sense. I was amazed that it had legs, because it was so moronic. I don’t know how else to say it!" The phrase was coined after the iconic sitcom ended in 1998 and its main stars seemed to struggle a bit to find their footing.
Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards all had sitcoms post-"Seinfeld" that lasted only one or two seasons, but Louis-Dreyfus soon found success again with "The New Adventures of Old Christine" and later HBO’s "Veep." She was also in 2022's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." Alexander continues to be successful on Broadway and has had recurring roles on shows like "Young Sheldon" and "The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel" and was a regular voice actor on "Star Trek: Prodigy" and "Harley Quinn." Richards starred in the short-lived show "Kirstie" and was in the movie "Faith, Hope & Love" in 2019, but his career faltered in 2006 after a racial epithet-laced tirade directed at a Black heckler at one of his stand-up shows.
