It’s back to the tube for The Down and Out George Costanza! Former Seinfeld star Jason Alexander has signed on to star in and executive produce an hourlong comedy pilot pitched to CBS.

The still-untitled comedy will feature a 30-pounds lighter Alexander (Gotta love those Jenny Craig endorsement deals!) as “a former TV star who’s down on his luck and winds up joining his ex-wife’s detective agency. Once there, the character reinvents himself as an investigator with a penchant for disguise,” Entertainment Weekly said Thursday.

Way to go, Mr. Costanza! After just four months, Seinfeld alum Jason Alexander is down 30 lbs. — and he’s showing off his new spandex-ready body to fellow Jenny spokesmodel Valerie Bertinelli in this hilarious new commercial, hitting the airwaves today.

The portly actor, 50, signed on as a Jenny spokesman in January with a starting weight of 195 lbs.

So when I heard that this was just a 3-episode cameo, I was relieved. Granted I know it won’t be funny like Seinfeld but at leaast I won’t have to cringe my way through a badly written sitcom until it fails.
