Janeane Garofalo joined Seinfeld as Jerry’s girlfriend (and fiancé!) until Jerry realizes she’s exactly like himself. Everything seemed so perfect. Jeannie says, “We’ve got tremendous kiss compatibility.” Jerry concurs, “It’s all about meshing.” She says, “I talk to you; it’s like I’m talking to myself.”
Then Jerry realizes he hates himself. We know her best on “SNL.” She’s been a vocal anti-war activist along with other prominent artists. Most recently, she’s in “The God Committee” with Kelsey Grammer and Julia Stiles.
Sgt. Cathy
Katherine LaNasa plays Sgt. Cathy, a cop who Jerry goes out with on “The Beard” episode. Everything is going fine until she wants to know if he watches "Melrose Place." He’s already dished it to Elaine, saying he lied about not watching it in the past. Sgt. Cathy is on to him.
He continues to deny watching the show to her as she backs him into a corner. Hilariously, she forces him to go down to the station to take a lie detector test. LaNasa is a former ballet dancer and choreographer and has appeared on many TV shows.
Sheila
Alexandra Wentworth is best known for "In Living Color" and other comedic performances. Notably, she’s married to ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos. She appeared on what is arguably the best Seinfeld episode ever, “The Soup Nazi.” Sheila, as Jerry’s girlfriend, is thrown a huge blow when she stands up to the terrifying soup peddler, only to have Jerry abandon her for continued access to the coveted soup kitchen.
Kissing is forbidden in the Soup Nazi’s line. He runs a zero-tolerance establishment. When Elaine tries to sweet-talk him with compliments, he screams, “Nothing for you! Come back, one year!”
Nina
Independent film actress Catherine Keener was Jerry’s girlfriend, Nina, on “The Letter” episode. She played a quirky artist who painted a massive portrait of Kramer. Keener has distinguished her career by earning two Oscar nominations for "Being John Malkovich" and for "Capote."
In the "Seinfeld" episode, Nina pens a letter to Jerry, which inspires him to give her a call. She writes, “You mean so much to me that I’m willing to take all your abuse and insults and insensitivity.” Jerry’s sold. Keener’s latest work was in the successful horror flick, "Get Out."
Lois
Renee Props visits "Seinfeld" for “The Race.” In this episode, she is Lois. Seinfeld is wild about her because her name, Lois, reminds him of Lois Lane, which would make him Superman. He thinks his high school track record, winning by a long shot as a freshman, proves his super-powers.
Of course, when she discovers he cheated with a head start, he loses the girl by the end of the episode, as usual. Renee Props has been an actress since her crucial role on CBS’s daytime soap opera, "As the World Turns." She’s also guest-starred on several TV shows and films.
