  11. THE CAR SALESMAN
Thursday 17 February 2005 11pm-11.30pm
 
 

Living out of a hotel (they were fed up with "the wire" at their old home), Larry and Cheryl make a successful bid on a seaside chateau owned by Jason Alexander's new agent, Jay Schneider.

  KEYWORDS

  The Jackass Role: How Jason Alexander describes the role of George Costanza.

  Italian Fisherman: When the owner of a house Larry is thinking of buying says that she can see whales from her window, Larry tells her, "My father was an Italian fisherman."

  GTS: When a customer asks Larry what those letters stand for, he replies, "Guaranteed Tremendous Safety."

Moving in, however, they learn their new dream home has a disturbing "house sound" of unknown origin.

Meanwhile, Larry shocks his wife and friends by deciding to take a job as a car salesman, but is foiled when "high maintenance" friend Richard Lewis shows up at the dealership. And in (yet) another case of art imitating life, Larry and Jason Alexander contemplate making a new TV series about an actor who can't find work because he's typecast as a "jackass" character from a hit series.
