I've thought about this at length, I mean hours a day for weeks at a time. It's not an exact science I'm sure but I think it's how similar to the character is to the person. Seinfeld is VERY similar to Jerry Seinfeld, at least it seems that way. Tim Allen is similar to Tim Taylor but different. Kevin James... well I just hope he's nothing like Doug Heffernan.. This could explain why no one else plays themselves in , because Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander probably don't have the Chemistry that Jerry and George do. Then again there's Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby which are exceptions to that rule.. Actually I have no idea what I'm blabbering about. It's too late for me to be posting.
Also don't forget Andy Griffith playing Andy Taylor.
