"Seinfeld" cast members to reunite to raise money for Texas Democrats

Source: CBS News

The cast of the "show about nothing" is bringing its fans a fundraiser — about something. The cast of "Seinfeld" is reuniting with a huge goal in mind ahead of the upcoming election: They want to turn Texas into a blue state.

Stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander, who played the iconic characters Elaine Benes and George Costanza, as well as co-creator Larry David, will reunite virtually for a fundraiser for the Texas Democratic Party on Friday, October 23 at 8 p.m. ET. It will be moderated by "Late Night" host Seth Meyers.

They are calling it "A Fundraiser About Something." The goal of the event, according to a statement from the participants, is to raise money to get Texas to vote blue on November 3.

During the event, the cast of the beloved sitcom plans to reminisce about their favorite episodes and share behind-the-scenes moments.

I cannot look at old episodes the same way, knowing under his actor facade, he's a Cult45.

I loved Seinfeld. It will be really fun to see this and also know it's going to such a good cause.
