Was the guy they patterned the Cosmo Kramer character after really that clumsy and a bit of a dufus

I am pretty sure that the character was exaggerated for tv.

Maybe,but now I'm convinced that Michael Richards really is the dufus he plays on TV.:lol:

Well if you remember Michael Richards on the old late night ABC show fridays he was a really wild dufus on that show.Can you get that show on dvd?

From what I remember, the one big similarity they used for the show was the real Kramer and the TV Kramer always had some kind of "get rich quick" scheme while never holding down an actual job.

When Seinfeld became a big hit the real Kenny Kramer created the Seinfeld bus tour, which showed tourists all the famous locations from the show.

Only a Kramer could come up with an idea like that.

I don't think he was clumsy, I think that was just a character. Here is the real Kramer's website:
