When did Seinfeld appear on Benson? I've been watching every week and haven't seen him yet.

He starts to appear in the second season. I think he's only in 4 episodes. I'm not sure what those episodes are though.

Jerry enters at 4 minutes 9 seconds into the show.
It's really NO wonder Jerry "Frankie" character was dropped. His character was REALLY annoying.

Benson - Season 2 Citizen Kraus
Jerry was so young and thin back then.

Fired from BENSON! Yes I have the clips!! Get ready for a blast from the past! In this video, we're taking it back to Jerry Seinfeld's very first TV appearance, and it's a real shocker! You won't believe how different he looks and acts in this early role. From his iconic hairstyle to his awkward stage presence, it's a far cry from the suave, sophisticated comedian we know and love today. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this hilarious and cringe-worthy look back at the early days of one of comedy's greatest legends.

Cheers and Seinfeld were the 9PM anchors of NBC's biggest hit Thursday comedy blocks. Their lead actors Ted Danson and Jerry Seinfeld both started out with stints on Benson. Ted added a lot more to his episodes. Jerry's acting had improved by the time of his own show. But there is no way that would have been successful without the strong supporting cast. Jerry is a much better comedian turned lead actor than Ray Romano will ever be, though.

Strung together he’s pretty annoying, but maybe it played better in small doses spread out over different episodes.

Also very weirdly Seinfeld related, yesterday Antenna TV had a Facebook post about Missy Gold's birthday (55 now!) One of Antenna TV's top Facebook fans Steve Menes said she was great as Jerry's mother on Seinfeld. When someone responded with the correct actress, he replied that's right. Missy Gold played George's mother.

This is about Jerry Seinfeld, not Jerry Springer.
