Seinfeld guest star reveals why it was so 'rough' working on the hit show as she cringes
Amanda Peet has opened up about her 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.
The guest slot came up during a game of 'Spill the IMDb Tea' on a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where she was promoting her current show, Your Friends and Neighbors.
'You played a waitress that went out with Jerry,' Cohen began, 'How did the episode turn out?'
'Yeah I know,' the Film Independent Spirit Award winner replied, cringing for a moment and then asking if she should rate the episode or the experience.

'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.
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.
