"The Finale" is the name given to the final two episodes of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. They were the 179th and 180th episodes of the show and the 23rd and 24th episodes of the ninth season. It aired on May 14, 1998 to an audience of 76 million viewers.
Its initial running time was 1 hour and 15 minutes. The fake working title for this show was "A Tough Nut to Crack" to throw off outsiders about the contents of the episode. For the first time since season seven, we see Jerry's famous stand-up comedy routine.
Larry David returned to write the script for the Finale.
