    Jason Alexander admitted he doesn't "know anything about" a reboot of the hit NBC show "Seinfeld" and suggested that they must not need his character George Costanza.

    The 64-year-old actor was asked about the reports after his co-star Jerry Seinfeld seemed to hint in October that he was in talks with the show's co-creator Larry David about a new possible ending to the hit series during Seinfeld's stand-up comedy show, Extra reported.

    "There is only one reason for that rumor," Alexander told the outlet. "Apparently, at the end of some stand-up thing, [Jerry] went, 'Larry [David] and I are thinking of something.' Good for you. I don't know anything about it... No one called me."

    "Apparently, they don't need George, and they may not need Elaine 'cause Julia [Louis-Dreyfus] and I went, 'Do you know anything about this? I don't know anything about this,' and I just talked to Michael [Richards] the other day and I don't think he knew anything about it," he added of his conversation with fellow co-stars on the show.

    Louis-Dreyfus, who played Elaine Benes during the series' nine seasons on the network, has admitted she too is confused about the rumor.

    "Yeah, I just saw [that news] last night," the actress told the Guardian. "And I don't know what the hell he's talking about."

    In October, the "Comedian In Cars Getting Coffee" star was asked by a fan if he liked the ending to the popular show, and the comedian seemed to suggest he and David were already working on some kind of "Seinfeld" reboot, Fox News noted.

    "Well, I have a little secret for you about the ending," Seinfeld said. "But I can't really tell it because it is a secret. Here's what I'll tell you. OK? But you can't tell anybody."

    "Something is going to happen that has to do with that ending," he added. "Hasn't happened yet. And just what you are thinking about, Larry and I have also been thinking about it. So, you'll see."

    "Seinfeld" ran on NBC from 1989 to 1998 and was a huge hit for the network. During its nine-season run, the comedy series, people dubbed the "show about nothing," won 10 Emmy Awards, as previously noted.
