"Elaine's boss and the founder of The J. Peterman Company. Eccentric world-traveler. Once fired Elaine on suspicion of opium addiction after she failed a drug test due to a poppy seed muffin and again for her dislike for the film, The English Patient. According to O'Hurley, Peterman's distinctive manner of speaking is inspired by "'40s radio drama, combined with a bit of a bad Charles Kuralt."

His speech is a linguistic labyrinth of loquaciousness, grandiosity, and wit.

J. Peterman was the original, "Most Interesting Man in the World".

Elaine's boss's are some of the best secondary characters of all time

Ah, Peterman. A true renaissance man if there ever was.

I love how at first Elaine loved listening to Peterman carry on but as time went on had very little patience for it.

"And by the way when you get to that chapter about my romantic escapades, feel free to toss yourself in the mix." This guy is like a real life cartoon character. 😂😂😂

He's got a great voice.

Kudos Elaine on a job... done.

"I'll be inaugurating them this weekend with none other than Ethel Kennedy, a woman whose triumph in the face of tragedy is succeeded only by her proclivity to procreate." One of the greatest lines ever.

I’ll never forget the time working late with Suz... just the two of us, and we surrendered to temptation... and it was pretty good.

"I don't even know were I'm going" "Well that's the best way to get some place you've never been"

John O’Hurley was a soap opera actor before his run on Seinfeld. Perfect casting!

I love it when Elaine asks him “Why me?!” when he asks her to take over the catalog and then he just says “Why indeed.” lol 😂

Peterman is the kind of guy you think pays attention to nothing but is actually highly perceptive.

The most extraordinary man in the world, J. Peterman . I could sit and listen to his stories all day, they should have done more with him
