The Cast Of Seinfeld Complained Over Michael Richards' Loud Ovations During Tapings BY ANTHONY SPENCER PUBLISHED 2 DAYS AGO The audiences reaction towards Kramer turned into a major distraction for the rest of the Seinfeld cast. Seinfeld Michael RichardsThe Things When looking at the history of TV's greatest characters, Cosmo Kramer will always be near the top. Michael Richards had a tough time with the cast while filming, but he made the character an icon, and made a ton of money while doing so. Even now that Richards is a disgraced performer, Kramer's legacy lives on. During the show's peak, Kramer would get a loud ovation from the audience on set, and this caused some problems behind the scenes. Let's take a look back and see what went down on the set of Seinfeld. Close 'Seinfeld' Is One Of TV's Greatest Achievements From 1989 to 1998, NBC's Seinfeld was the biggest thing on TV, eventually cementing its place as arguably the greatest sitcom to ever grace the small screen. The show about nothing cast a brilliant set of comedic performers in its lead roles, and they made the show a success. Yes, the writing was great, as were the characters, but it's what the actors did with the material that truly made the show a monumental success. Each character has their own distinct legacy on the small screen, but there is something to be said about the legacy of Michael Richards' Cosmo Kramer.

It wasn't easy bringing the cartoonish character to life, and Richards was known for being tough on set while remaining in character. There have even been clips circulating showing the actor growing frustrated when his co-stars mess up their lines. On her podcast, Sarah Silverman, who guest starred on the show, revealed a story about Richards yelling at her. "This guy, Michael Richards, breaks character and just starts ripping me a new asshole. He points to the window and he goes, ‘Do you see rain in that window? Do you see rain in that window?’ and I go, ‘No,’ and he says, ‘Then why did you say rain?’ It’s not rain. There’s no rain in that window! The line is ‘wind,'" Silverman said on the podcast. That said, at the top of his game, no one on TV was touching what he did each week on Seinfeld, and to this day, everybody knows Cosmo Kramer. Because of the character's popularity, and the nature of the taping of each episode, the audience's involvement was a bit too much at times.

Directors subsequently asked the audience not to applaud so much when Kramer entered." That's right, Richards' Kramer was so popular, that the audience actually caused problems with their cheering. Interestingly, this is not the first time that audiences at home had to deal with the in-person audiences cheering for their favorite characters. "The practice is most famously associated with Happy Days’ Arthur Fonzarelli (played by Henry Winkler), aka the Fonz. At a certain point in Happy Days’ run, creator Garry Marshall started instructing the audience to applaud (or at least stopped discouraging the audience from applauding) when the Fonz entered a scene. Over the years, this treatment has been afforded to other popular TV characters, from Lenny and Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley to Steve Urkel on Family Matters to Cody on Step By Step," Primetimer wrote in a piece dissecting Kramer's applause. Primetimer also noted the similarities of the characters that received this type of audience reception. "The genre of character has been remarkably consistent. If it's not always the wacky neighbor, it's at least the character who serves the most wacky-neighbor-esque function. Kramer definitely fit that bill when it came to Seinfeld, so you can see why the powers that be at the show (or the network, which seems more likely) would want to spotlight him in this way," the site continued.

Well, hopefully not.
