'Seinfeld' star Jason Alexander threatened to quit the hit sitcom early in the show's run, after his character, George Costanza, wasn't getting enough screen time. Michael Richards wrote about the incident in his upcoming memoir.

'Seinfeld' could have looked very different if one of the main stars followed through on his threat to leave the hit show. Michael Richards, who appeared on the show as Kramer, revealed that Jason Alexander, who played George Costanza, nearly quit the show after 'The Pen' episode. Neither Alexander nor Richards appeared in that episode, as Jerry and Elaine pay a visit to Jerry's parents in Florida.

He continued, 'But this business breeds both massive egos and incredible insecurity, and this episode is one of those ego-jarring wakeup calls.'
