‘The Outing’

Season 4, Episode 17 -  Aired February 11, 1993

When a journalism student writes a profile on Jerry, he and George are outed as a gay couple. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: Unbelievable. She's not there.
George: What paper does she write for?
Jerry: She works for the NYU school newspaper. She's a grad student in journalism. Never been to a comedy club. Never even seen me, has no idea who I am.
Elaine: Never even seen you? Got to kinda envy that...
Jerry: You know, you've been developing quite the acid-tongue lately...
Elaine: [proudly] Really?

Quote from Jerry

Jerry: "Within the confines of his fastidious bachelor pad, Seinfeld and Costanza bicker over the cleanliness of a piece of fruit like an old married couple." I told you that pear was washed.
