Memories From the Set: Megan Mullally on "Seinfeld"
When the now-iconic show about nothing was staffing up, Mullally read for the role of Elaine.
"That went really great, and I thought I was going to get that — and then they went with Julia [Louis-Dreyfus]," she says.
But Mullally had pleasant interactions with everyone involved, and they brought her back later to be George's grieving girlfriend in 'The Implant' episode.
Fast-forward to some years later, after Mullally had been cast in "Will & Grace", when she ran into Jerry Seinfeld at an industry event.
"He gave me a big hug and he said, 'Now the whole world will know how great you are,'" she remembers. "I thought that was such a really amazing, sweet thing to say."
