"Seinfeld" would not be what it is today without Jeremiah Bosgang. Together with former Vice President Rick Ludvin, who was in charge of the 1990 NBC TV specials, Bosgang's network connection oversaw the development of Hit Sitkom's earliest seasons.

According to The book by Ennenifer Kisin Amstrong "Seinfeldia", Ludvin used the short first season for Seinfeld after his pilot aired in 1989. Bosgang, meanwhile, was a second-tier writer in the city, who was green at the CNB at the time. During the years on the show, he was tasked with not being able to report indispensable jobs as reported to the NBC about the quality of every Seinfeld script or trying to understand how to talk to creators Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David to pass by "Chinese restaurant" -Now the exposed early episode that has shown how experimental the structure of the show is.

Until the fourth season of the show was rolling, Bosgang moved to Fox, and Seinfeld has long earned his self -esteem with the labyrinthical comedic plots and screaming funny performances. The show's structure became even more experimental at this point, with much of the season 4 Taken from a meta-talk in which Jerryjers (Seinfeld) and George (Asoneyson Alexander) are trying to sell a pilot in the form of Seinfeld of NBC. In the process, the creators of the show began to route their experiences by making a TV -Show Show - and Bosgang found themselves caught at their comedy intersections.

As he told Bosgang Armstrong, he received an unusual phone call as the fourth season of Seinfeld is in development. "As soon as I got out of the strangest audition," he recalled. "I was auditioning for a role where the name of the character is Jeremiah Bosgang, in Seinfeld. Young CEO of the network. "

Bosgang was not the first person whose name was borrowed for Seinfeld. The character of the "crazy" OEO Davola took his name from another TV producer, and comedian Kenny Kramer often behaved like The inspiration for one's own Cosmo Kramer of the showHe once sued the writer for the show, who discussed his Seinfeld, linked to Newujork Tours in Memoir (after a Hollywood reporter). Bosgang was also surprised by the news of his fictional colleague, but he decided to make Seinfeldian's most prominent possible job in response to this surreal moment: get into action.

The producer called the producer "Seinfeld" George Shapiro, who was also a longtime manager of Seinfeld. "Georgeorje, wait a minute. What about this? Jeremiah Bosgang like himself!" Bosgang recalls he told his former colleague at Seinfeldia. He was convinced of his image, stating, "I can do it." Shapiro consulted with David and Seinfeld, who said they were happy to see Bosgang read the role - if he could bring him to the studio until the auditions were wrapped in an hour.

Separating the surprise that will even be asked to play audition to play HimselfBosgang booked him in the studio, where he quickly began to confuse people by sharing a name with the character he was trying. When the receptionist asked his name and he gave it, he remembers saying, "No, not the name of the character." He was sure that the administrator and other actors in the area of ​​waiting thought he was doing some strange performance of the method for a small part, or, as later told the hosts of "This podcast makes me thirsty", It was "Dushebag" and "A ** Hole". Bosgang audied with more readings than just one line ("That's! However, funny, after he never received a call for an appointment, Bosgang revealed that he would be transferred to the role.

"Jerryryers said he would call you," Shapiro told Bosgang when he (quite assumed) appeared to ask what he should wear and where he should arrive for the episode. He interrupted the bad news: "They decided to go the other direction with the image of Jeremiah Bosgang." In a twist in a plot that could be Seinfeld's episode, Jeremiah Bosgang did not receive the part of Jeremiah Bosgang. The show's writers, at least, had a good reason for rejection. They ended up changing the names of the NBC executions for the show to avoid defaming real -life figures when they were put into bizarre comic situations for which the show was known. Bosgang happily spoken of the whole fiasco over the years, though at the aforementioned podcast, he says he is still not sure whether Seinfeld and David were "king with him" when they made him read his unique line several times with different entrances and emotions.

However, Bosgang became Jayei Cream, and ended up playing Peter Block for five episodes, including the series final. Interestingly, this was the only credit role of the screen that once took the blood. Meanwhile, Bosgang contributed briefly to Saturday Night Live and continued to write "in vibrant". It is probably a good thing that he was not chosen for the role, and because he was not an actor (though according to Some fans of RedditThe blood was not even great), and because Seinfeld always positioned itself in playful opposition to authorities' figures, such as network executions. Releasing the joke on the screen feels antithetic about the ethos of the show. Plus, Seinfeld often simply became less funny when people were playing themselves.

The real story of Bosang's almost miss remains funny like hell, partly because he has a coden -worthy scene by cutting off the sitcom loans. According to CrackedBosgang, in fact, hit Seinfeld years later and grew up the target -a share he missed. Seinfeld's response was classic: "You just weren't enough Jeremiah Bosgang."
