"Enthusiasm" reunites 'nothing'

"Seinfeld", (pitched as a show about nothing), has long been a favorite program to a variety of people over the years. More than 76 million viewers tuned in, (the third most watched series finale overall), in 1998 to watch the show's nine year run come to an end. Fans were told there was a slim chance of a reunion, but after ten years, after most fans had given up hope, Jerry Seinfeld announced that the cast will reunite. The cast of Seinfeld will appear together on "Curb Your Enthusiasm", the first time the cast has appeared together since the finale. Entertainment Weekly has the full story as well as an interview with Jerry Seinfeld.

Since Seinfeld left the air in 1998, the cast, with the exception of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, (Elaine), has had limited success.
Michael Richards, (Kramer), starred in the short-lived, "The Michael Richards Show" and was the center of much controversy when he said the N-word multiple times during a performance at the Laugh Factory in California.
Jason Alexander, (George), has appeared as a guest on multiple shows, such as "Friends" and has had some roles in a couple of films, none of which that have been extremely successful.
Louis-Dreyfus has seen success on her show, "The New Adventures of Old Christine". In 2006 she won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. The show is now in its 5th season.
...and for Mr. Jerry Seinfeld himself? After the show ended he went on tour, returning to stand-up comedy.
