Can’t stand’ja
Robin. Tonto. Costanza. Sidekicks are often as memorable, if not more so, than their lead counterparts, and those three sit atop Entertainment Weekly’s list of “Best Television Sidekicks of All Time.”
As Jerry’s buddy George Costanza, Jason Alexander’s loveable blend of Larry David’s acidic outlook and Woody Allen’s self-sabotaging neuroses helped make Seinfeld some of the funniest, most socially insightful television of the 1990s—even when George’s actions see-sawed between absurd and indefensibly deplorable.

Touring in a conversational style and sharing anecdotes, jokes and insights into his 30-year career on stage and screen, Alexander will appear live at L’Auberge Casino & Hotel on Aug. 3.
Five other roles Alexander has nailed
Philip Stuckey, Pretty Woman. By all accounts, Alexander is an affable guy, but this winner is one you just want to punt in the teeth. Good acting!
North’s dad, North. If you ever fantasized about George marrying Elaine and having Frodo for a son, watch this underrated drama.
Eric Duckman, Duckman. Womanizer, single dad, private eye, and, oh yeah, a duck—Alexander brought it all and then some to this bizarre ?animated series that pushed boundaries long before South Park and ?Family Guy.
Mauricio, Shallow Hal. Alexander’s hairpiece alone is funnier than the rest of this forgotten Jack Black and Gwyneth Paltrow comedy.
Stalker barista, Nickelback’s “Trying Not to Love You” video. Alexander masters the lip-quiver as he ogles an attractive blonde at the coffee shop. Mute the sound.
