Your answer would appear to be a little too obscure. How about a hint?

Yeah, you’re right, now that I think about it, it is pretty obscure.

No hints, but I would suggest a good Googling is in order. I officially declare Google not cheating on this one.  
I’ll throw another one out there too, still not easy, but less obscure than Phil Bruns:

**"If you would like to make a call, please hang up…"**

Re **Phil Bruns** : I gave in and Googled it. It’s a fair answer! (And I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know the question . . .) I’ll let **Happy** decide whether to give a hint.

Also still waiting on **a halibut omelet**. . .

You’re on the right track, but that’s not the right answer.

Starting CPR . . .

Still unquestioned:  
**chicken twists  
Phil Bruns** (I abstain because I Googled this before it was declared to be allowed)  
**a halibut omelet** (What, no one knows this one? It’s one of my favorite bits! ☹ )

**Phil Bruns**

Who was originally cast as Morty Seinfeld, but only appeared in one episode?  
(Alright, so I Googled, but I only did it after it was declared legal for this one. Sheesh, somebody had to do it!) 😃

What George was traded for by the Yankees?

FTR, I also Googled Phil Bruns before it was allowed as well and was quite irked at the answer(question).

Googling should not be acceptable and the honor system always adhered to.

Sorry back to the game. Since there are a few more outstanding I will hold off on submitting my own.

Nope, she tells _Mr. Littman_ (her boss at Pendant Publishing) that her father is recovering from neuralgia when she takes the day off to go to the baseball game (and gets kicked out for wearing an Orioles cap).

How did George, as a marine biologist, set the scene in Monks as he went in to save the whale?

“La Cocina”

As a side note, I host a Sunday evening radio show and whenever I have stuff to give away I usually ask Seinfeld trivia questions. Thanks to all for supplying me with a years worth of great questions.
