Pseudonyms

Art Vandelay, George's alter ego, first appeared in the episode "The Stakeout," in which George and Jerry needed an excuse to a woman on why they were waiting in the lobby of the office building where she worked. Their excuse was that they were meeting Art Vandelay, an importer/exporter, for lunch. His original name, before George changed it at the last minute, was Art Corvelay. In one instance, George tells the unemployment office he is close to getting a job at "Vandelay Industries." The characters encounter a judge named Art Vandelay on the series finale.

At one point, George wanted to be known as "T-Bone", but his co-workers at Kruger Industrial Smoothing nicknamed him "Koko" because he flailed his arms like an ape when he demanded the nickname "T-Bone" back from a coworker. When a Jamaican woman named Koko began work there, his nickname was changed to "Gammy". George revealed that if he were to be a porn star, his name would be "Buck Naked." During a period of unemployment for George, Jerry calls George "Biff", referring to the Biff Loman character in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. George once assumed the identity of a man named Donald O'Brien in order to take his limousine, only to later discover this man was the leader of the Aryan Union and was on his way to make his first public appearance, at Madison Square Garden.
