It is quite common for sitcoms and series to have some of the most random and out-of-pocket cameos of A-list celebrities. Be it in the biggest role, weirdest role, or the roles with the most impact yet in the series, it is always fun for the audiences of the series to have to do a double take when a random actor shows up in their favorite show. Some examples of the same could be Brad Pitt appearing in Friends, Pete Davidson appearing in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, or Stephen Hawking showing up in The Big Bang Theory.
Some of the odd ones, however, have to be when a person who held a very serious government position at the time, having been the Mayor of New York and was the United States Associate Attorney General, appeared in Jerry Seinfeld’s Iconic Sitcom, Seinfeld
Seinfeld Had Two Different Endings For The Same Episode
Seinfeld is, perhaps the most iconic sitcom of the 90s, if not of all time. the show follows the life of Jerry Seinfeld as he tries to navigate his life with his quirky friend group. Being often described as a show about nothing in particular, the series features an incredible cast, with actors like Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards at the forefront of it.
The show was also known for depicting this in real-time, as they were happening rather than a fictitious reality with fictional events. This meant that the show had to be a little careful when showcasing real-life events. This included things like elections, as the show had to shoot and create two different endings for their 1993, season 5, episode 7, The Non-Fat Yogurt, in order to make it as real as possible.

What Were These Two Different Endings?
This episode featured two different endings that were surrounded around the topic of the 1993 New York City mayoral election. David Dinkins, who was the president of the New York City Board of Elections, ran against his opponent Rudy Giuliani, who was United States Associate Attorney General. The decided way to end both these episodes was to feature the winner of the election in the end.
While Giuliani had agreed to appear in this series, Dinkins had flat-out refused to feature in the episode if he won the election. Things, however, seemed to have worked out in the favor of those involved in Seinfeld as Giuliani ended up winning the election and showed up on set to film his scene the very next morning.
