Amanda Peet has opened up about her ‘rough’ guest appearance in Seinfeld back in the show’s heyday.
The actress, 57, appeared in an episode as a waitress dating the character Jerry Seinfeld in 1997 – and gave her appearance a brutal rating.
The actress was invited as a guest during a fun game called ‘Spill the IMDb Tea’ on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. She was there to talk about her current show, Your Friends and Neighbors.
‘You played a waitress that went out with Jerry,’ Cohen began, ‘How did the episode turn out?’
When asked about the guest slot, the award-winning actress reacted by cringing for a second before humorously questioning whether she should rate the episode or her overall experience.

‘You played a waitress that went out with Jerry, how did the episode turn out?’ Cohen asked. ‘That was a rough one for me. I had a lot of stage fright. I’m going to give it like a five’ Peet replied
‘That was a rough one for me,’ she said of the experience of performing in front of a live studio audience.
‘I had a lot of stage fright. I’m going to give it like a five. I was really scared,’ the now veteran actress said with a laugh.
She had difficulty rating her experience on 2001’s Saving Silverman with Jason Biggs and Jack Black.
Peet resorted to a high pitched sound for her answer regarding the romantic comedy about friends trying to keep their friend from marrying the wrong woman, but gave it a seven after being coached by Cohen.
Regarding her time filming The Whole Nine Yard with Bruce Willis and the late Matthew Perry, Peet quickly answered ‘that’s a 10.’
Co-guest Elizabeth Banks, 51, had her own ‘scary’ story to tell.
It took place while she was working on 2007’s Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti.
‘Loved living in London, ‘she said, adding, ‘I met a ghost, so I’m gonna say 4.85.’

Elsewhere in the episode she described more about her encounter with the spirit at the famous Pinewood Studios when she was alone.
‘She grabbed me and everything!’ she said of the spooky encounter.
‘I had to be like, “I see you, I get it. You don’t want me to sit in this bed. I will not do it anymore!”‘ she said,
‘And I never went in that corner of the room ever again,’ the Emmy nominee maintained.
Widely regarded to be one of the most iconic comedy shows of all time, Seinfeld ran for seven seasons from 1989 to 1998.
The legendary ‘show about nothing’ also starred Jerry Seinfeld in the title role, Julia Louis-Dreyfuss as Elaine and Michael Richards as Kramer.
A true cultural phenomenon, Seinfeld’s finale attracted an eye-watering viewership of 76.26 million US viewers.
