AboutAriela Jaglom Expertise I own all the DVDs, and have watched all of the special features and commentaries on all the episodes, most of them several times. I have whole sections of dialouge memorized as well as knowing a lot of little details. I'm good at placing a random quote, character, or scene, into its correct episode and season. I can also fill you in on all details of any minor character that ever appeared on the show or any answer any minor triva-type questions. However, I don't know much about the actor's real lives, or products seen on the show.
Expert: Ariela Jaglom Date: 5/8/2005 Subject: what is Newman's first name?
Question Hello Ariela,
My brother told me that Newman's first name was revealed. He won't tell me what his first name is. He said, if I remember correctly, it's the episode about Newman in a farm and a woman was chasing him and yelled out his first name.
Also, I thought there was an episode where Jerry found out what Newman's first name is. If I'm not mistaken, the name was a girls name.
I'm just dying to find out what the answer is. My brother teases me about this.
Thanks,
Robert
Answer Dear Robert,
Hi. I hate to disappoint, and there's a chance I could be wrong, but I have absolutely no recollection of Newman's first name ever being mentioned on the show. In the episode your brother is referring to, a woman from a farmhouse did indeed call out after a running-away Newman. She called out "Norman," but, although I could be wrong, I understood this as a simple misunderstanding of his name on her part, not his actual first name. I can recall no episode where Jerry discovered Newman's first name. I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but please write again if you have any follow-up questions.
