In his article George Costanza for President, Washington Times columnist Wayne Allyn Root states "George was a loser. Everything he did was a colossal failure" (Introduction, para. 1). Root is partially right here; George (Jason Alexander) had several jobs throughout Seinfeld (1989-98), lived with his parents Frank and Estelle (Jerry Stiller, Estelle Harris) and never maintained a truly happy relationship. For example, in the episode The Red Dot (3.12) Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) gets George a job at her company Pendant Publishing, and to thank her, he buys her a damaged cashmere sweater. He then starts a sexual relationship with the cleaning woman, gets fired after she tells his boss, and damages his friendship with Elaine. However, Root is wrong in stating that everything George did was "a colossal failure." Saying that he was a failure completely dismisses George as a truly talented problem-solver, someone who cared about others, especially his friends. George had countless shining moments throughout the sitcom which I intend to explore. To that end, I intend to argue that George Costanza uses humor and innate skill, in the forms of physical comedy as well as dialogue, to become the influential dynamic winner that he was in the show.
