10 Reasons Jerry Was Seinfeld’s Real Villain, Not Newman

While Seinfeld always treated Newman as the show’s villain, he might have been no worse than Jerry or Kramer and even may have been a better person than either of them. A classic sitcom antagonist, Wayne Knight’s Newman is regarded as one of Seinfeld’s best supporting characters, in spite of the fact that he doesn’t even appear in the series until season 3. Jerry’s battle of wits with his bitter mail carrier is ingrained in the cultural footprint of the series thanks to Knight’s comedic chemistry with Seinfeld, making it impossible to imagine the show without his contributions.
