Jason Alexander is the Newest Jenny Craig Spokesperson

Former Seinfeld star and KFC-spokesperson Jason Alexander is next in line to try Jenny Craig in exchange for a paycheck. The overweight sitcom star doesn’t seem remotely bothered by the fact that he’s following in the steps of Valerie Bertinelli and Kirstie Alley. In fact, he seems to think that this is the best possible plan for him. “It’s like someone’s clubbing me over the head it’s so obvious I should be doing this. It was a deadly combination of I’m fat and they work.” Jason hopes to lose between 30-40 pounds while on the plan, saying “Over the course of the nine years of Seinfeld, I can actually see my hairline go away and my waistline increase. One of them I can do nothing about; the other I can.”

I happen to think that a male spokesperson for Jenny Craig could be a huge deal for the weight-loss company. Not only will it definitely bring in a different crowd, but it will possibly change the way we view their brand. Jenny Craig has always seemed like your mom’s weight-loss plan, even more so than Weight Watchers. In fact, I’ve seen Weight Watchers take over as the preferred diet of many of my friends, male and female, over the past couple of years because portion control undeniably works. Could the company’s choice to use a well-known male actor make them relevant again?

  • I always thought something like Jenny Craig would be right up a guy’s alley. Most of the overweight men I know have absolutely no cooking skills or desire to learn to cook. They’ve gotten fat from eating horrible fast food.
    Isn’t Jenny Craig all about eating frozen meals in boxes?

    • Most of the guys you know? Amazing that you can tell their eating habits while hanging upside down on a stripper pole with your T-Back flossing your ass.

    • Alza, I agree, most of the guys I know are overweight because they order in pizza every night. For Christmas, I gave one P90X (because he had inquired about it, since I was doing it, and he seemed interested, not because I’m a huge bitch who tried to give it as a subtle hint!), and told him that in order to lose weight and keep it off, he had to change his eating habits, too. I think more overweight men should not be scared of having a little help, a la Jason Alexander and Jenny Craig. Healthy is healthy and any (healthy) means to achieving health is admirable, I think.

      Was that paragraph totally incohenent? I’m a little out of it today.

  • Being a Jenny Craig spokesperson is just one chubby little step away from being a limp dick spokesperson. I’m sure Viagra is offering this washed up fatty a couple hundred bucks and a whopper with fries as we speak.

      • Why the fuck is it any of your business about my beef with Jason Alexander? If you MUST KNOW, he sucked dick on the final episode of Seinfeld and he’s blown ever since. And yes, he shot my goddamn dog, Ms. Bangs 2010!

      • Gee you must be one IGNORANT SOB! What a potty mouth you have, your mother would be so proud of you! Or is it because you were raised in the gutter that you have no intelligence at all, no wonder you come on here has anonymous I would be ashamed and embarrassed as well if I had no vocabulary but garbage!

  • OK, I just want to say this: I tried my friend’s Jenny Craig potstickers, and they were fucking amazing.

    That is all.

  • I was on Jenny Craig a few years ago and yes I did lose weight, the problem is you can’t stay on Jenny Craig forever, it is extremely expensive today, so the average working person could never afford it.
