?Seinfeld? gang to reunite for Thanksgiving
NBC special will air two days after the DVD release of the series
LOS ANGELES - Jerry Seinfeld is returning to NBC, along with TV pals Elaine, George and Kramer, for a special Thanksgiving Day retrospective on the smash hit ?show about nothing?, the network said Thursday.
The planned Nov. 25 broadcast, highlighting the origins of ?Seinfeld? and the early years of the mega-hit comedy that ran on NBC for nine years, is timed for two days after the DVD release of the series.
Seinfeld himself will host the hour-long special, featuring clips from the show and interviews with co-creator Larry David and co-stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine), Jason Alexander (George) and Michael Richards (Kramer).
Named by TV Guide magazine as the greatest television series of all time, ?Seinfeld? collected a total of 10 Emmy Awards and 70 nominations during its run, mostly on Thursday nights as the centerpiece of the network?s powerhouse ?Must-See-TV? lineup.
?Seinfeld? left the primetime airwaves in 1998, but reruns of the show live on in syndication.
