Topher Grace cut together a Seinfeld reunion from Curb Your Enthusiasm’s scraps
Back in 2009, the seventh season of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm was centered around Larry David agreeing to do a Seinfeld reunion in the hopes of resuscitating his doomed marriage. Featuring appearances by Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards, and Wayne “Newman” Knight, these Curb episodes are the closest thing to a full-fledged Seinfeld reunion to hit the airwaves since that popular series left NBC in 1998 after nine seasons. While viewers never actually got to see a completed Seinfeld episode out of all of this, Curb did provide enough snippets to show what a reunion would have been like, and all of the guest actors got the opportunity to reprise their famous characters. And now, another ’90s sitcom veteran, That ’70s Show’s Topher Grace, has taken those snippets and pieced them together into a nine-minute quasi-episode of Seinfeld. In his Facebook post about the edit, the actor likens the process to sewing and compares the finished product to “a radio play,” since a portion of it is built around audio rather than video. This isn’t Grace’s first foray into imaginative editing; he was also responsible for creating his own one-film-long version of the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
