Jason Alexander missed out on some serious change.
During a video chat between “Seinfeld” stars Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Tuesday, the two recalled the hysteria that surrounded the filming of the sitcom’s 1998 finale.
Louis-Dreyfus remembered that walls and barricades had been erected around the set to keep paparazzi from getting photographs of production.
“And I remember thinking at that time, ‘Seriously? Who gives a s–t?’” she said.
Then Alexander piped up that he had actually been offered a bribe to reveal tidbits about the show’s much-anticipated final episode.
“My own publicist — I don’t know if this came for you, too — my publicist was asking me if I was willing to leak out some secrets for money. And I went, ‘They’ll kill us!’” he said.
The “Veep” actress said she hoped the publicist was fired, to which Alexander quipped, “No, I gave him a raise.”
The mini reunion — during which the duo chatted about two iconic episodes, “The Contest” and “The Chinese Restaurant” — raised money for Direct Relief, a charity that is helping health care workers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic.
