This Week With Schmoopy

Here's a piece of first class Seinfeld trivia. George Stephanopoulos, ABC News' Chief Washington Correspondent and host of "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," is married to Alexandra Wentworth. Who is Alexandra Wentworth, you might ask? She is the actress who played Jerry's girlfriend Sheila, aka Schmoopy, in "The Soup Nazi." And since it wasn't entirely clear to George and Elaine exactly who Schmoopy was (Jerry or Sheila, or perhaps both), one could make a legitimate case for calling Mr. Stephanopoulos "Schmoopy". As a matter of fact, I think it would actually make for a much more spirited discussion during the round table if George Will and Sam Donaldson were allowed to address the host as "Schmoopy."

Episode 116 - The Soup Nazi

GEORGE: Yeah. Hey, let ask you something. Is it just me, or do you find it unbearable to be around Jerry and that girl?
ELAINE: Oh, I know! It is awful!
GEORGE: Why do they have to do that in front of people?
ELAINE: I don't know.
GEORGE: What is that with the shmoopy?
ELAINE: Ohh!
GEORGE: The shmoopy, shmoopy, shmoopy, shmmopy, shmoopy!
ELAINE: Oh! Stop it! I know.
GEORGE: I had to listen to a five minute discussion on which one is actually called shmoopy.
