This is a long shot, but is that perpetual sitcom cameo guy Jarrad Paul?

I’ve conferred with the judges, and we’ll accept your answer. That was quick. Nice job, Nick.
From the Wikipedia plot summary of 158th episode of Seinfeld:
“Kramer is tired of seeing all his ideas implemented before he has a chance to implement them himself. He contends that all the little day to day incidental things keep getting in his way and prevent him from realizing his ideas. He gets an intern from New York University, Darin, to help him out with Kramerica Industries, the corporation he had previously set up to develop some of his ideas. With this help he’ll be freed from those day to day activities and be able to develop his ideas, such as the oil tanker bladder.”
I’ll be in touch about your prize.

And Caroline, getting the actual actor’s name is pretty impressive. You win, too.

Woohoo! It’s not a t-shirt, but its something.
I recognized him as “Jason” from Home Improvement. How sad is that?

No, no, that’s t-shirt worthy. I just sent you an email about claiming your prize…

His name is Darren. Kramer’s assistant from the intern episode of Seinfeld.

Darn, I wasn’t fast enough!
He shoves the big ball of oil out the window and it lands on Claire [I think her name was], Jerry’s girlfriend. Her stomach spoke with the the infamous “Helloooo” voice.
Just another snippet, seeing as I can’t win the prize.
Good job prize winners!
