Wayne Knight is both a former Georgia undergrad and a funny guy.
… Are you that nerdy? But you were the mascot of the Georgia football team?
I don’t know where that … that’s one of those interesting things that live on, an IMDb moment from somewhere. I was never the mascot of the Georgia football team.
Really? It made sense to me.
I also said to someone at one point, “I’m taking classes in fixed wing aircraft.” Just to see what would happen — on some NBC interview about eighteen years ago — and it still shows up like it’s solid gold fact. There is no fact-checking on tertiary celebrities. You can say whatever you’d like and it will just rise up again. No, I was never the mascot. The mascot of the University of Georgia is the bulldog. An actual dog. So those who believe it was me in disguise, it’s rather insulting.
Wikipedia’s bought into that story, by the way.

Thank goodness for Kyle Chandler. Nothing against Wayne Knight, who seems to be a perfectly nice guy, but it’s nice to not have him as UGA’s most prominent Hollywood celebrity anymore. Clear eyes, full hearts!

He managed to get a Georgia sweatshirt w/ Uga emblazoned on the chest into an episode of that show.

Is it a bad sign that most of the famous UGA attendees are drop-outs?

Probably means they couldn’t handle the academics. I think all of Tech’s celebrities (there must be some) actually graduated from there. Ergo, Tech is the easier university.

Dropping out to make something of yourself is what truly successful people do(I know Gates did and I think Jobs did too)

I lived with Wayne Knight in Lipscomb Hall at UGA and I can verify he was never a UGA mascot.

Ryan Seacrest also went to UGA, but didn’t graduate.

Of course that was a year and half ago, so maybe she’s traded him in for Newman by now
