Hello, Newman


Yesterday, there ran in the Newsday a huge piece on "Seinfeld," penned by your's truly. And in one of the great oversights in recorded TV history, I neglected to mention a character who made/defined the entire series. He was an ineradicable part of "Seinfeld" - the postal-worker-down-the-hall-from-hell. Yeah, Newman - don't ask me how this oversight happened, or why. The answer would not be satisfactory anyway.

So, to make amends, here's a clip from "The Finale" (I'm pretty certain it's from "The Finale;" "Seinfeld" experts are invited to clarify; and thanks to Judgevalkenheiser for posting on YouTube.)

What's Wayne Knight been up to these last few years? Plenty (he's voicing a character on the forthcoming "Cat Tale") and of course had that long run in "3rd Rock," was "Al" in "TS 2I," and on and on and on.

So, sorry, Wayne. Sorry, Newman. Sorry, fans.
