I've heard about Seinfeld. Don't think I've seen a full show.

I doubt that I could find his in a library.

Jason Alexander is the actor’s name — “gifted” doesn’t cover him.

I may have seen one episode in its entirety. And some clips of others.

He had more hair and no beard, correct.

That's Jason Alexander, who played George, Jerry Seinfeld's friend, who hung out with him all the time. The other two names mentioned, Elaine, and Kramer, were the other two main characters. This references Melanoma's claim she didn't really know the guy her husband raped children with.

see images posted from Imgur. Anyone who is blind using a screen reader has no idea what this image is either. For the love of Pete, can someone either provide alt-text or context?
I realise it’s a lot to ask for the handful of us this might effect, but there’s an increasing number of posts that for some of us just appear as blue boxes, or for the blind, I’m not sure what their screen reader does.

seinfeld and played the character of George Costanza. it is supposed to be george, his character, speaking. it's a parody of melania's speech last week. see post 8 in this thread for a good description. meanwhile, here's what each picture says:

pic 1: good afternoon. the lies linking me with the disgraceful jerry seinfeld need to end today.

pic 2: i have never been friends with seinfeld. i was invited to the same parties as seinfeld from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in new york city.

pic 3: the first time i crossed paths with seinfeld was in the year 2000, at an event elaine benes and i attended together. i never had a relationship with seinfeld or his accomplice, Kramer.
