He was only on two episodes. He had a bad experience with the show. He came to work in the morning as usual and sat down at the table and found that there was no script waiting for him. He asked why and they told him he was fired. So they pretty much treated him like crap.

Next thing you know, Seinfeld is the biggest show of all time and Benson is...what's Benson?

I think Benson was one of his first gigs , everyone is going to treated like crap sometime and be turned down. I was thinking " That was years ago , Thank god he did seinfeld! That is the coolest show I've ever seen " After a while seinfeld beat other shows butts in the ratings.

jerry seinfeld played frankie the mailman for only two episodes in the second season so it was a very minor role. he was on the episodes "benson's groupie" and "citizen kraus" thats all i know.

He appeared in the episode "Fools Gold" as well but when TV Land ran that episode during the marathon, they edited out his part. I was not too happy about that!

He was canned because the days he was there a guitar twanged randomly right before he opened his mouth.

And there's only so much "What is the deal with..." you can take.

That, and he lost a 'Master of your domain' bet with Rene Auberjonois.
