Jason Alexander is criminally underrated and under used.
The guy has Moxy!
People all around the world love him..how is he underrated
@@melt7891 he hasnt been in anything else unlike Julie Louis Dryfuss
isobel64 He’s toured internationally. Not all success means television. He was a Tony award winner on Broadway before Seinfeld even existed.
@@melt7891 and after?
Everyone named Kat should take advantage of this opportunity.
My time is now
@@katherine4236 dooooo it 😂
Thinking of legally change my name...
Oh yes!!!
* Changes his name to kat *
His off-time delivery "as George" is kind of a big deal, because the guy _can_ sing.
Which makes it even more impressive obviously
Dude is amazing
Supposedly when they did the original version he legitimately sang it, and Larry David went and downtuned it so it sounded more like crap
@@nateputerbaugh5709 Interesting! Do you have a source on that? I'd love to learn more.
@@nateputerbaugh5709 he didn’t down tune it lol. He made him redo the recording
@@auspicious93 he won a tony award lol
Anyone who embraces their character that made them famous is a national treasure. I hate to see people reject their pasts that people adore.
True but man George character really caused him to be typecasted. He couldn't get any roles he really wanted after that show.
yeah like Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani or Chloë Grace Moretz as HitGirl/Mindy Macready.
You're right and that's a great point! A lot of them had no problem cashing the checks at the time though...
AGREED! I find it to be incredibly annoying when actors pretend like they're so much better than the roles that made them famous. Jason is super humble and gracious.
@@PajamaPantsMan he’s so good in shallow hal
He even nails the slightly off beat singing
He's a trained Broadway singer and Larry David kept making him do that scene over because he was singing it too well lol
@@Rhystic_Buddy yeah right I bet David was going behind the set and laughing hysterically lol
@@Rhystic_Buddy The Seinfeld sound guy said that the final take was still too good, so they went behind his back and screwed it to sound more off key.
I think he was slightly off beat cause he was wingin it really. Lol
It's absolutely awesome how "George Costanza" is a switch Jason Alexander never technically turned off. This entire time since Seinfeld finished its last episode... it's been all George all the time 😎
now avaliable at the jerk store
best comment!
Eric, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Eric Krolick Ha!
But still not their all-time best seller.
they called. they're out of you.
I am 100% going to use this as my voicemail message.
Edit: I am currently using it now and my mom said, “What kind of message is that?”
Hahaha, that’s fantastic! Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪
😅😅😅
I'm changing my name to Kat so I can use it.
😂
it's the "i'm not home" message
George is one of the greatest characters in TV history! Everybody has a little George in them and can identify with his many quirks.
I totally agree , and I also think Phil Dunphy from Modern Family is up there ..
For me Geoerge Costanza is right up there with Archie Bunker, Alan Harper, Fred G. Sanford, George Jefferson, Doug Heffernan, and Frasier Crane.
It's not a lie... If YOU believe it 😂
"Everybody has a little George in them and can identify with his many quirks." Especially Larry David.
George Costanza wouldn't have done it without insecurely asking "What's in it for me? Maybe we can grab a cup of coffee sometime?"
A cup of *cwofee*
Too late for cwoffee. Sorry. It keeps me up at night.
"You do know I record the voice for you..."
egr885 so what's the deal with coffee?
That's gold, Mr. Clean. gold!
The little shrug he does on Seinfeld while listening to his message cracks me up every time I see it.
Where could he be?🎶
Yea, like he knows he nailed it. Lol
that's my favorite part
Every damn time. It’s my favorite scene
I was hoping for the shrug !! :(
I love how they act like everything is spontaneous... and yet, they have the background music from the show all cue'd up. LOL
Or was it edited down?
@@jgmediting7770 There's no breaks in this recording.
Background music cued up and for someone who hasn't changed their voicemail in 5 years she had it ready to record pretty damn quick.
Just a bit staged 🤷♂️
It's a show... How entertaining would be while they scramble to get a recording. The rehearse the topic but the conversation is happening 1st time.
Jason Alexander is a national treasure. A phenomenal actor and wonderful person!
He's awesome! And terribly underrated.
@@chrisb8655 What other stuff has he done that's as good as George? Everyone loves him as George! He's not underrated.
Having Jason Alexander in his "Terrible George singing voice" record your voicemail message for you is like a bigger honor than winning a gold medal at the Olympics or winning the lottery... Ironically for that voicemail scene on Seinfeld he had to re-record it like 30 times and it took like 3 hours because Larry David kept telling him he was singing too well, as Jason is actually like a classically trained Broadway singer with a fantastic voice.
Maybe Larry Charles? Larry David left the show at the end of season 7.
ummmm with age comes more useless info..he suppose to sound bad by u sayin he sounds bad you didnt know that or hes singing the melody of a old tv show called THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO ..search it and the truth will come to light in your dark cold world of ignorance .
@@bengermanbrowne4378 what?
@@bengermanbrowne4378 what?

I'm so jealous of Kat.
Me too.
+Bill Smith Me too.
same
and my nickname is kat
soflaav8r but she ugly as fuk ! makeup does wonders
Wow, all these years later and he nails it live in one take.
Ironically enough, the first time he did it, he actually had to re record it a few times because he just sounded too good.
Reckon that bit would have been discussed before the show.
First time after the rehearsals for this scripted segment, yes.
Kat now possesses what may be the coolest voice-mail message ever created! Jason is awesome 🤣
Jason Alexander's only job from now on should be to sing that voice message for _everyone_.
Totally. I would buy it.
He should sell them and since i assume hes got more money than hell ever need amyways, he should just donate the funds.👍
yeah... donate the funds... TO ME!!!!! >:DDDDDDDDDD >:DDD >:>>>>>>>>>
He'll just donate it all to The Human Fund.
Money for People
As a Brit, I’m so happy you yanks have taken James Corden off our hands. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
my goddaughter is british and HATES him! I begged her to watch the James/Paul McCartney carpool karaoke, but she refused because of him :D
😅
Holy Moses, and here I thought Brits loved Smithie (the name of a character he played on Gavin and Stacey)
You owe us BIG TIME, Paul Seager. Ugh.
for the love of god please take him back
The funny part is that Jason Alexander actually has a beautiful singing voice.
Love this guy. He's awesome. My absolute favorite character on Seinfeld. Wish I could see him I'm more movies or shows. So underrated. Great actor.
He’s been in a few episodes of Young Sheldon.
My name is George, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents.
I'm Victoria hi
The Summer of George.
Jerry: You know chicken salad is not the opposite of tuna, salmon is the opposite of tuna, because salmon swim against the current, and the tuna swim with it. George : Good for the tuna.
Actually he's a latex salesman in Vandelay Industries.
@@spyrox What delay industries? ;-)
A priceless moment: Jason Alexander hosting a comedy showcase at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, Australia. I can't remember the year. There was a Q and A asking Jason about his time as George Costanza. The answering machine episode eventually came up, Jason didn't remember it and sure enough a thousand people sang it perfectly. He was genuinely moved.
This comment made my day
Is there a video of this on UA-cam ?
hanscombe72 has
ua-cam.com/video/yg-TqEFYcfM/v-deo.html :D
@@dendukurianirudh6871 If there was, that would be awesome
It must be great to see some minor gag that started as an aside in the writers room, get to screen in the sitcom (where Jason Alexander brought it alive in the subtlest of ways with the snacking and the shrug) to then see it still adored over 20 years later like this. That’s magic really.
If Jason would sell personalized recordings of that to the general public, I would totally buy it.
Cameo?
Because the voicemail has the same tune as the old show The Greatest American Hero... I highly doubt he can do that unless he wants to risk getting sued.
what an amazing spur of the moment idea from James Corden, so lucky they had the music ready immediately.
Lol
it couldn't have been that spur of the moment if they had the music ready to go.
Penguin Pie that’s the joke buddy
Because it was staged
McLovin that’s the joke buddy
It’s unbelievable the amount of epic lines from Seinfeld we remember and repeat word by word, just in the presence of Jason Alexander, more than 20 years later !
I quote Seinfeld daily....it's like a ritual :)
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
@@horse69outside 😂
This is absolutely true❤
Yeah, that's right.
They had the music qued up and everything. Such a spontaneous thing.
Such spontaneious
Its not hard to find the music
@@prestige515 In these types of shows, before they go in, they have spoken and planned what subjects to cover and what they are going to say and do.
@@Crow-sj6sf but also, if you listen to a good radio show, the can queue shit up pretty damn fast
@@MrLegovas not with original songs with the singing removed.....
This is the greatest gift any human being could ever give another human being!
Wow that so spontaneous and not planned at all!!
yeah and it took her forever to find her phone
to change voicemail greeting u have to call voicemail then go thru a bunch of menu options to re-record the greeting. It looked like she just had him record on a voice recorder app. I guess you could do that then play it on your phone after u go onto the greeting menu but would it be just as loud?
ok asshole, settle down, go back to your hole and work on some more of your little conspiracy theories
Tom Willowson 😂
It’s just a button, Angie. Nobody’s called their voicemail in ten years.
GEORGE IS GETTIN UPSET!
He likes his chicken spicy!
That comment was prettay prettaay pretty good.
"Well, I was thinking it's about time for George's lunch."lol
Lol
WORLDS ARE COLLIDING!
Strange that the other chick seemed more excited about it than Kat..
just different personalities, different ways of showing excitement
Her name is Caroline :D haha thier personalities on 2 Broke girls do seem to match real life alot though
Look how happy he made her. I wish I could make somebody happy like that once per day.
Jason Alexander & Kat Dennings are my squad goals
***** People you want in your squad.
***** fuck you
Just stop
Why
Can you imagine the movie or sitcom they could make together @amy ordman?
My favorite part of that Seinfeld episode is when Jerry starts singing the song like we all do with weird catchy tunes.😂
I think you're thinking of when George is sitting there letting his phone ring, and his machine picks it up and George sings along to his own message, not Jerry.
@@Onlytime1234 Yes it was The greatest American hero theme but in that episode Jerry started singing it too after it had gotten in his head.
@@Onlytime1234 Jerry starts singing it to himself later on
Jason Alexander just seems like such a super nice man, and what a fantastic actor!
I've seen some of his broadway one-man show and he is uber-talented. Singing and dancing like you wouldn't beieve. (Frank & Estelle would be so proud! Haha!)
“He’s not getting our water pick...!!!”
Who wouldnt want a George Costanza voice mail? The man is legend..
Both the actor and the character.
O M God! As a huge Seinfeld fan, myself.... I have no words for how epic that voicemail is! So jealous!!
I started to watch Seinfeld with my uncle who has always been a fan and I have fallen in love with the show, I think it was one of the most underrated comedies of its time
it was definitely not underrated, at any point in its existence. A few people didn't get it, but everyone else was sitting in front of a TV on Thursday night. Also, if you like this, check out "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on HBO. It is created by and stars the co-creator of Seinfeld, Larry David (who is the person primarily responsible for the success of Seinfeld).
@@samanthaalessandra94 what do you think underrated mean? 99 % of everyone who actually watched it love the show
@@KyleHerrera106 It wasn't a hit at the beginning. Some of the old episodes I hated ( the one where Jerry breaks up with his clingy guy friend, or the one where George confronts the woman who dumped chocolate on his sweater ) , but I still love the "Chuckle" episode, where George pleads with Jerry to smother him, Elaine walks into the hospital room, , and Jerry says "Elaine, what are you doing here?"
"I'm an eggplant."
The show really took off beginning the fourth season due to two specific episodes that season. The Contest episode and the one with the college reporter who thinks Jerry and George are gay. Forget the name of that one. That’s when it became mainstream but it was always pretty big even before then. It’s just after those two episodes the show absolutely blew up in terms of popularity. Both of those episodes were so groundbreaking for a sitcom.
The way he recalled that whole song in seconds, after all those years, was impressive. Jason Alexander has a sharp mind.
it's all rehearsed. The show wouldn't have had the music ready if it was spontaneous.
“This is how I score with the ladies!” -Jason Alexander
This is an amazing gesture. Would love it if he and Marisa Tomei could re-enact their scene together.
She's supposedly attracted to short, stocky bald men, so there's a chance!
...with the pillow, of course.
George Costanza is the best tv character on tv history.
maybe a endless battle between George Costanza and Michael Scott
I totaly agree.
You are absolutely right!!
"Sorry, the correct answer is Moops"
Good shout. I’d probably pick Cosmo Kramer but that’s me.
Jason Alexander, a true legend. So underrated.
This was awesome. Shout out to Jason for being a good sport
I used to have this as my voice mail message too. People hated it and I loved that!
Laura Roberts I had it as mine and people told me to change it constantly.
Laura Roberts
Same!!!
Had this all thru College! Took it away once I started working and managers were like what is up with your phone lol.
But now that I'm solidified in my career... Comeback?
Another good ringtone would be Frank Constanza shouting: "Serenity Now"!
warpnin3 OOCHIE MAMA!!!
@@Custerd1 "If you hear a rockin', don't come a knockin.'
That would be a perfect text message tone 🤣 or customised alert for an email from your boss
He's instantly able to transition to the George voice. Jason Alexander is a pro.
That was so nice of him. He made her day :)
If I lose this Frogger high score, that's it for me. - George (that's my favorite George line of the entire show)
Kramer, I'm never gonna have a child (and the look, hopeless, in his face) it's... priceless!
So dated lol
Mine is when he just blurts out, (out of the blue)... "I can't envision myself ever having sex again. I just don't see how it'll happen."
What is George? It's nothing! It's got no zip, no snap!
Mine has to be when he says "OF COURSE I'M NOT CARTWRIGHT! "
outstanding actor. its a shame comedic actors never get the recognition of their talent that their more dramatic peers seem to get.
Alexander was in a Christmas TV movie ( Canadian one I believe ,judging by a few familiar Canadian actors ) about a toymaker forced by wartime powers that be to convert his factory to war making supplies.
I love how spontaneous talk shows are, and everything falls into place, awesome... -.-
Yeah that totally wasn’t contrived (the girl could barely even remember her lines)
Incredible. No preperation, no practices, no nothing! Jason Alexander, one of the great performer of our time. Brillant!!!
Now George is going to have to get Jerry to help him get into Cat’s apartment and steal the tape.
Tippy toe! Tippy toe! Lemon tree!
KTK exactly! Lol
Peter Paul and Mary? No! Trini Lopez
this comment is the best !
The best !
You could tell part of him wanted to die inside.
+SRNF Yeah.. except for no. Not really. It's prescripted.
+Vrig No! They totally keep that music at the ready just in case someone wants Jason Alexander to record their outgoing voicemail! HE WAS TOTALLY BLINDSIDED!
Mi Wi Hahaha. Too right you are my friend
Well not if it will remotely help him score with Kat Dennings... :)
projection, if he didn't wanna do it you wouldn't have seen it cos it wouldn't have happened
That is awesome. He's got a great memory. And obviously highly talented. George was definitely my favorite character.
I always luv the shrug of the shoulders when the “where could l be” part comes on.
Am I the only one who finds her voice attractive instead of annoying?
Grumpy Catterman Yes
Grumpy Catterman No, you are not
Grumpy Catterman Exactly what I expected you to say Grumpy Cat
Georges Costanza is so lovable. Selfish, stupid, funny. Just so human !
and he was bald !
@@mariamendez8985 Bal..ding
That is so awesome of him to do that for her. He should make an app where anyone can insert their name for that message!
That is literally the greatest thing ever. I almost cried watching that.
We had octoberfest celebrations at work yesterday and were given pretzels and I was walking around work saying these pretzels are making me thirsty and no one had any idea what I was talking about 😭
Any time I am thirsty, I always blame these pretzels.
😃😃😃 oh man that's funny!!
That's a shame !
“George pick up. I know you’re screening from Allison”
Amit Divecha shhh
kat pick up i know your screening from jonathan (oleg).
bravo! :)
Yadda, yadda, yadda, that was fabulous! Love you Jason Alexander. George Constanza for President!! 🥰🥰🥰
He's a freaking legend for this! 👏
THIS IS INSANE, YOU CANT JUST DO SHIT LIKE THIS WITHOUT BEING PRESIDENT
George Costanza es una leyenda del sitcom. No importa si fue preparado, tener eso para tu ringtone es genial 🖒
LEGEND. LEGEND. LEGEND. Thank you Jay! ❤
That answering machine message is one of the most underrated Seinfeld bits. So dang good haha
And when he does the shrug on where cld he be part , hilarious
jason alexander is the best actor ever (according to me) would love to meet him
he actually is great, he's also completely unlike the character of George if you look at the totality of his interviews especially the more serious ones
Did you just cited yourself as a source?... I respect that.
You should read his pamphlet titled "acting without acting".
She was truly happy one of the most genuine reactions
Such a beautiful woman. Watching Seinfeld right now, what a great show.
I know Jason doesn’t need the money, but he should consider doing customized phone messages with this song. I’d certainly buy one!
Jason is such a great actor. Sung that just as good as he did at the show!!
Kat Dennings now has the most epic voicemail of all time. :D
This was awesome!
I love this so much , Well done Mr. Alexander
My favorite sitcom actor of all time George Constanza.....
that is fucking GOLD, I'd pay for a custom ring tone of this XD
It´s gold Jerry! Gold!
Wow! Jason, you really are the Greatest American Hero. Bravo!
Absolutely fantastic
Corden is so awkward. I think he and Jimmy Fallon should have an Awkward-Off.
I know, right? Neither of them are funny, both of them have seriously bad fake laughs on camera, just plain boring.
JF is a complet idiot, with zero sense of humour. Corden has some strenghts, though.
Shut up unfunny loser people. Both are worlds better than you and it's so obvious it hurts.
I can't stand him, I forced myself through this clip just because I'm a big Kat Dennings/Seinfeld fan
gillettecrackers then chuck Leno in there for a tension relief... 3 awkward interviewers
Wow imagine, they had the music ready for that spontaneous recording 😂😂
Love George
Yes we’ve all seen Bye Bye Birdy. Jason Alexander is an incredible singer. I love how he can still just slip into George. What a great actor!
I love this guy. I met him once at the airport (where I work). He is just as nice in real life.
I called her 40 times just to hear it until I got the restraining order.
The guy on the left is definitely Penske material.
Ahh yeah Arthur Penske. Of the Penske file
Thats awesome what a great guy jason alexander is
OMG, I would pay $$$ to get a recording of Jason singing one for me.
I once had a discussion on an online personality cafe, with a woman sharing the same type as me. She said she was very curious about men that had the same type as herself. I said: well people tell me I am exactly like George Costanza from Seinfeld. She never talked to me again ;-) ;-)
Based
best show ever-SEINFELD!! Constanza & Elaine were the best!!!
Jason was actually the whole Seinfeld thing. He has the most live time and most words played out thru the series.
George Costanza is based on Seinfeld's co-creator and writer, Larry David, so makes sense.
we all know jerry couldn't act at all. Jason was the one who carried the show
@@CompleteMuffin Jason, Julia and Michael carried the show. Jason stole it.
I have been binge watching Seinfeld again and i honestly did not realize how funny George was . I mean knew he was funny ...I love this episode and i love when he does the shrug when he sings where could he be and shrug... Omg pure gold
Tippy toe! Tippy toe, lemon tree!

That was AWWWWWESOME! Great ring tone for a voice message lol 😆...JP
I love how it was clearly set up but they act like it was all natural, james doesn't even finish speaking when jason already says "absolutely" and the girl pulls out her phone ready by her side.. lol
not to mention that they just happened to have the music ready to play at that precise moment
Talk shows dialog is written. Get over it.
his face at 1:47 says it all
when he realises he recorded it in voice memos
I love him, he made that whole show.
He is so amazing.
