The "Seinfeld" Curse


Julia Louis-Dreyfus reunited with her co-stars from Seinfeld when she guest hosted Saturday Night Live this weekend.

During her opening monologue the actress, who played Elaine Benes on the hit series, showed a video clip of her bumping into co-star Jason Alexander and talking about the "Seinfeld Curse." The curse states that no Seinfeld star - including Louis-Dreyfus, Alexander, Michael Richards or Jerry Seinfeld - has ever gone on to star in a successful sitcom.

After the two chat, Alexander is hit by a cab. Back in the studio, the actress insists she doesn't believe in the curse, before a stage light falls next to her. The culprit is revealed to be Jerry Seinfeld, who cut the light down with a pair of hedge clippers.

Louis-Dreyfus started her career on Saturday Night Live 21 years ago and made history by becoming the first female cast member to return to host the show.
