The series was wildly successful. 68 emmy nominations, 10 wins, tens of millions of viewers per episode; Jerry was even offered $5 million per episode to continue with a tenth season. The fame and fortune was overwhelming. But Seinfeld wouldn't be Seinfeld without its supporting cast -- those iconic characters that are oft quoted even today. Sure, Jerry could be funny, but they wanted a bigger slice of the pie. They thought it was their time to shine.
Welcome to Seinfeld Werewolf!
Add'l notes on character claiming: hinting at or claiming your character is not allowed, but I do expect some general banter about the series or timely mentioning of famous catch phrases from the show. You may discuss the show as long as such discussion is not intended to be a "breadcrumb" -- for example, if someone angrily said "NEWMAN!", that player could not later quote the post and suggest they were Jerry Seinfeld. Use your judgment. If in doubt, don't test the rule.
It is Day 1! You may post.
