Seinfeld: Larry David Threatened to Quit Over the Iconic ‘Chinese Restaurant’ Episode
One reason Seinfeld was such a hit is that people could relate to it. At one point or another, just about everyone could identify with Jerry, George, Elaine and yes, even Kramer. The situations they found themselves in may have been wild, but hey, life is like that sometimes. But it turns out one of the most iconic episodes of the show almost didn’t happen. In fact, co-creator Larry David had to threaten to quit to make sure it happened. Here’s why fans almost never received the rare treat “Chinese Restaurant.” “Chinese Restaurant” is all about the gang waiting for a table at-you guessed it-a a Chinese restaurant before heading to a movie. During the entire episode, they never get that table despite their increasing frustration and the maître d’ promising they’ll be seated in, “Five, ten minutes.” The final zinger comes at the end when they finally give up and leave, and only then does the hostess yell out, “Seinfeld, 4!”. It took David threatening to quit, but that risk was totally worth it.
