George decides that he should help a security guard who works at Susan's uncle's store and must stand all day. Elaine begins dating Bob Cobb (Mark Metcalf), a.k.a. the "Maestro", after meeting him through Kramer, and immerses herself in classical music. Kramer gets an out-of-court settlement in his lawsuit that nets him free coffee at any of the chain's locations around the world instead of money, much to Jackie's dismay, as he and Kramer could have been very rich if Kramer had declined the first offer. Jerry asks Poppy about Tuscany and is referred to Poppy's cousin, who makes him an offer he can't refuse.
George delivers a rocking chair to the security guard, who falls asleep in it; the store gets robbed as a result. At the credits, we see Elaine and the Maestro in his house in Tuscany when they see Jerry and Kramer arrive in a taxi across the street.
"The Maestro" was the first appearance of Jackie Chiles (Phil Morris), a parody of Johnnie Cochran.[1] Morris and Cochran had visited the same barbershop in Los Angeles for years,[1] and so Morris was very familiar with Cochran's personality and mannerisms. Jerry Seinfeld interrupted Morris' audition for the role by turning up the air conditioning and remarking "You're so funny you're making me sweat."[1] The table reading for "The Maestro" was held on August 27, 1995,[2] and it was filmed before a studio audience on August 30.[2] Michael Richards' mispronunciation of the words "theater" and "caffè latte" was unscripted.[1]
"The Maestro" first aired on October 5, 1995.[2] The episode earned a ratings share of 22.5/35.[2]
The Maestro's name is Bob Cobb. Bob Cobb is the original alias of Mon-El, a supporting character in Superman comics.
