Over 600 United States residents took our "Seinfeld" poll, and Courteney Cox landed in the number one spot for the best cameo appearance with 29.5% of the vote. Cox played Meryl, the fake spouse of Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) in Season 5's "The Wife." It would be six months between the airing of Cox's "Seinfeld" episode and the "Friends" pilot, making it seem like the former was her good luck charm.
In second place in Looper's survey is Bob Odenkirk, with 17.3% of respondents choosing him as their favorite "Seinfeld" cameo. A brief fling of Elaine's (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) in "The Abstinence," Odekirk's Ben is a med intern who just can't cross the line into official doctor status. Odenkirk already had great success in the writing game before appearing on "Seinfeld," but it would be 13 years before he shot to superstardom and became well-known for playing Saul Goodman on "Breaking Bad."
