Question about Jerry Seinfeld's guest appearance - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was looking at Jerry's Seinfeld's details on IMDB and noticed that he guest starred( I assume a short cameo) on Mad About You season opener (titled "Season Opener") in fall 1998, right after "Seinfeld" had ended its run.

We know that he appeared as himself, but the question is did he appear as the real Jerry (rich, successful TV star of "Seinfeld") or did he appear as the character Jerry from "Seinfeld" (who appeared in a failed pilot called "Jerry" and should have still been serving his one year jail sentence in fall 1998).

Since it was established earlier that Paul once lived next door to "Seinfeld" character "Jerry" and then sublet his apartment to Kramer (and also asked in that episode what happened to the comedian "Jerry" next door), this put "Mad About You" and "Seinfeld" in the same universe so in the Buchman world, there should not have been a show called "Seinfeld" and their Jerry should have still been in jail. Can anyone shed any light on this?
