Chris Rock Almost Played George Costanza on Seinfeld

[kingdarius]

yea, that show literally had damn near zero blacks in it (even tho they had a whole ep where they were tryna figure out if a white dude was actually black or not and he didnt even sorta look even mixed ) so i highly doubt this would've ever happened...shyt chris probably turned it down cuz he didnt wanna be the only black face in the mufukka and he would've been portrayed horribly

We already been through this breh..everyone on that show, minus jerry and kramer at times, was portrayed horribly. Hell, the final episode was all about how they were all horrible human beings who didn't belong in society and needed to be locked up for a year

Nah... Jason Alexander was perfect. The character is a conniving, spineless, and lying loser. JA has that look. Chris Rock was already known and he doesn't come off as a loser enough lol.

Also there were quite a few black people in Seinfeld. Usually in episodes that highlighted the mild ignorance of the white characters in the show (i.e. Kramer showing up at his black girlfriends house with an overdone tan)


or the black characters were much more rational and level headed compared to the obnoxious behavior of one of the characters. For example, when George went over that black family's house to watch a movie for a book so he wouldn't have to actually read it.

Friends is much more homogeneous imo compared to Seinfeld. Though Larry David wasn't totally oblivious to this criticism and even poked fun at it in Curb your Enthusiasm with Wanda Syke's character.

Which is exactly how the simpsons uses its black characters. Carl, Lou, Bleeding Gums Murphy, Dr. Hibbert and even his family are in direct contrast to the rest of springfield most of the time in terms of intelligence and rationality. Even though the simpsons are yellow
