Well, you'd think to be fair, David & Seinfeld would have offered him something substantial as they cashed in on appropriating his name and personality.

Still my favourite TV show of all time. Hello! Comment made 11 years after the original here, and Kramer's reality tours still going strong after more than 20 years
Actually, the failed pilot titled "The Seinfeld Chronicles" was what premiered on 5 July 1989. Season 1 of the actual show "Seinfeld," with a season order of four episodes, did indeed debut in 1990, on 31 May.
If your next door neighbor came over one day and said he wanted to base a character on you, and you made next to nothing off what turned into a phenom, wouldn't you want to cash in? I would've charged you way more the bumper stickers.
I saw a video on here where Larry David said he named the original character Kessler rather than Kramer because he knew if he named him Kramer that Kenny would want to somehow get involved...he jokingly said he was right, but that after some initial discomfort from Michael Richards and others they finally decided it would be just another layer to the show so they embraced the "reality" tour.
Ohhh. . . yeahhh. . . I hope you keep this tour going for a few more years. It's on my bucket list. it might take me a year or two to get there. God bless you Mr Kramer - you have inspired so much laughter, mirth and joy
I find it hard to forget the ‘real Kramer,’ who I met at the age of 17,while a student at the New York Academy of Theatrical Arts and Music in the CBS building on Broadway. Still quite unforgettable!!!🐣
Honestly, NYC is so deep kool-aid Liberal, 2000 votes for the Libertarian candidate sounds plausible, regardless of whether he's an offbeat character made famous by a sit-com or not.
So wait Larry didnt hook his ass up with a big chunk of cash for being a character in his show? He had to resort to doing stupid tours? That's kinda messed up. If I were Larry I would have made sure he was all set.
Larry David and Seinfeld were notoriously stingey about the syndicate rights. Nobody got a dime of it. Elaine, George, and kramer had just started making big money per episode when seinfeld called it quits. Couldn't get 1% of the syndicate rights.
I will not make judgement concerning the actor Michael Richards if he is or not a racist! That’s a call of God on his life!But I can absolutely share this fact with you ‘Kenny Kramer’ the man I personally knew and know of through the years is not a racist,nor has he ever been! ‘He’s simply uniquely different in a ghost like way!’ SHALOM!🕊️🕊️🕊️
Actually @ 2:37 that is a fallacy because the original name in the pilot for Kramer was Kessler, because L.D knew that Kenny would try and weasel himself into money or whatever... But Omg that picture at 1:09 he looks like a jewish Michael Imperioli, or Christopher from Sopranos. Haha. This guy really is a joke though im sorry. He is the classic loser that never made it, sues other guys/successful comics for potential millions, and shamelessly cashes in on satire jokes about his life. The Muffin Top episode of Seinfeld is brilliant because they turn the tables on him and just make fun of him on every level when Kenny started to do the REAL KRAMER Bus tour. The writers actually called up to ask about it pretending to be interested customers, had it on speaker phone and just got tons of material. Genius. The best part is that he really did offer a free pizza bagel at the end, but in the show they had pizza on cinnamon raisin bagels, pound cake, and donuts lol. The bite size 3 musketeers for dessert was the kicker though I still laugh at that 20 yrs later. I bet Larry David would of never let that episode on while he was there, but as soon as he left, Season 8 went for it and it is just hysterical.
2 Thumps Up .. Someone still check to see if he's doing it... Don't reply just posted because he needs to survive... Remember what Jerry says.... Paraphrase: He doesn't have a job he has no money.... How does he do it ? LOL
Isn't there something kinda sad that this is like a huge defining part of his life, largely by dumb luck he lived next to Larry David? How many stories llike this of chasing those 15min of fame and self-promoting....
But if it werent for him Larry wouldnt have had the idea for Kramer and the show wouldnt have been the same. So dumb luck on both ends. Id be proud that I was the model of a legendary character! We dont know what else he's done w his life
He should have made a cameo appearance as Bob Saccamano.
i agree
Yes!
it would be astounding
Genius! 😂😂
I thought he should've been the guy who steals the raisins when they're casting for Kramer
doing a reality tour based on a fictional character based on himself is such a kramer thing to do
This is like when Kramer starts the J peterman reality tour
Tejas Tasgaonkar The J Peterman Reality Tour is a parody of Kenny Kramer's idea. And an inside joke.
carultch There are a lot of those in the show, like the TV show "Jerry". That's why I love Seinfeld very much
And awaayyyy we go!
Hey yeah, you're right! It's amazing that you made that connection! And at no point did you think it would be silly not to write it down!
When you could afford to be a starving artist in Manhattan.

if they had a season 10 they probably would

It's a pizza place where you make your own pie!
Didnt expect to see you here! Cheers man, love what you do.
And blaze pizza was born
We can’t let people have the right to chose what they put on their pie!
Looks like Frank Zappa
Yes! Especially at 1:18.
Kenny Kramer sold his life stories to the fictional Kramer. Like that one episode when J Peterman bought all of Cosmo Kramer's stories.
Did he?
If his life story was authentic, there should have included chapters of me! ‘It’s Easy To Remember,But So Hard To Forget!’ 😢
I'd cash in too if I were him, no question.
I hope he made a million.

Still my favourite TV show of all time. Hello! Comment made 11 years after the original here, and Kramer's reality tours still going strong after more than 20 years
Seinfeld's debut was July 5, 1989. Not 1990. Just a little Seinfeld trivia. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
gaston0770 it was the moops !

I believe it first aired in 1990
Pilot 1989
Series debut 1990
The Berlin Wall was still around on the first date and the Soviet Union on the second. Either way, it was awhile ago :)
Kramer's aunt is named Cartoon? who's coming up with these names? Larry David?
I took this tour a couple of weeks ago, it was well worth it, this dude is funny as fuck
is he still alive and making the tours?
Hey, he's still around and making the tours? Can you answer? Does he have a website?
Wow is it still going I wonder? if they ever let me in to the US & NY I’d love to sign up & go on the tour ,for sure
If your next door neighbor came over one day and said he wanted to base a character on you, and you made next to nothing off what turned into a phenom, wouldn't you want to cash in? I would've charged you way more the bumper stickers.
yah he shold have got some residuals from teh show or something
Yeah Seinfeld and David are collectively worth over two billion today. I have zero sympathy that this guy wanted to make a few bucks.
You people replying to an 11 year old comment

You may think Kramer is comical himself, but his aunt is a bona fide Cartoon.
This was fun to watch,thanks bro
I went on the tour in 1999 and it was really excellent
The Real Kramer Story was one of those big on the early internet things. I think it was because he had his own website back in the mid 90s
I find it hard to forget the ‘real Kramer,’ who I met at the age of 17,while a student at the New York Academy of Theatrical Arts and Music in the CBS building on Broadway.
Still quite unforgettable!!!🐣
that tour thing is something the Fic Kramer would do
StuntmanDAN that’s because he did it, the “real j peterman tour”, they parodied this guy
By his conception of time, he'll have lived for over 2000 years....
I’m gonna DO IT , JERRY! A TOUR about COMEDY! It’s gonna be a HIT!
I would have tears of joy if my ex gave up custody.
What a great guy!
I'm surprised he never turned up in Curb Your Enthusiasm!
I love Kramer, both the character and the real person.
@Mapleholic that's Larry Charles, who wrote for the show for its first few seasons and also made several cameos in it.
1:23 My Name is earl, complete with the running joke of his eyes being closed in every picture
He even looks like Kramer
Giddyup!
😂😂😂Larry David has always looked crazy.
Damn this is like one of the oldest uploads I've came across
rich and famous from doing nothing..yes.
Hope he serves pizza bagels. ;)
Michael Richards looks like him too
Ooohh. I'll be comfortable.
Keeping the character’s name Kramer was a very decent thing to do for his friend
Honestly, NYC is so deep kool-aid Liberal, 2000 votes for the Libertarian candidate sounds plausible, regardless of whether he's an offbeat character made famous by a sit-com or not.
one...more...season...
He does look like him and vice versa
I've never heard of this man before. I didn't know the character was modeled after anybody. He doesn't seem anything like the character on Seinfeld.
You want him back? You can't just turn and suddenly want him back! You can't have him back!
That would of been awesome!! I sooooooooooooo wish they would do another few seasons!!
Moments before disaster
And you get a three musketeers candy bar and a pizza beagle
His daughter is pretty
Kenny ?!?! Kennyyy !!!!! Kennyyy ?!??????? So Kramer .. Kenny advertising for himself through his CZcams Channel
The bus driver is Bob sacamano.
kramer the character did the same thing as the real J. Peterman tor ^_^
Larry David is unrecognizable as a young man.
He was a young man?
15 minutes in dog time is a lot shorter than human years. That guy's not too bright.
its super dog years, not regular dog years.
Polyphonic Press Maybe more like 15 minutes in redwood tree years.
“The daughter they shared wasn’t enough to sustain their marriage”
Lmao, I’m sure she was a sweet little girl nonetheless
I hope he got SOME money from the actual show since a main character is based off of him.
@patyoyo comment of the year !
Hi Kenny, Do you still do the tour?
he got rich and famous from doing nothing
How weird is that we used to watch videos on that quality 15 years ago
no we didnt
He’s a Kramer alright
kenny looks exactly like Galligher
So wait Larry didnt hook his ass up with a big chunk of cash for being a character in his show? He had to resort to doing stupid tours? That's kinda messed up. If I were Larry I would have made sure he was all set.

Yes
Does he serve muffins without the tops on the tour ?
@mahlstadt Man manages to get by on life. I say good for him. You can't blame him. I'd love to not have a job.
Thats what the tv-version would do as well. Or atleast try to!
i love you, Kenny. Can I do the tour??
Fiona Hamilton You can book a ticket on his website. www.kennykramer.com. He is master of his own domain.
+carultch Hahaha brilliant
3:43 LOL

Need some Kramer. I got some Kramer from a 15 year old video

is ron howard narrating this?
Kramer i have an idea for you

Not sure I believe this. Why was Kramer's name Kessler in the pilot and not Kramer all along
