#44: Another Big Yikes
We know Elaine dates a good bit, as does everyone on the show. At one point, she begins dating a man by the name of Joel Rifkin. Without getting too much into it, Joel Rifkin is the name of a serial killer. You wouldn’t want to share the same name with a serial killer, would you? But would you break up with someone over something like this?
Elaine struggles very much with him having that name, but luckily for her, he’s willing to change his name. As they brainstorm a new name together, Elaine suggests O.J. It seems innocent enough at the moment, but of course, they had no idea that O.J. Simpson would become infamous the way that he did the following year.
