Newman is a secondary character on the television show Seinfeld. He is played by Wayne Knight. Like fellow Seinfeld character Cosmo Kramer, Newman is addressed by last name, a fact Newman revealed in episode 44, The Ticket. Unlike Kramer, Newman's first name is never mentioned.
It is unclear if Newman is his first or last name, but it's generally believed it is his last name, as he is referred to as 'Mr. Newman' by the Judge in The Ticket. Aside from this, only the name Newman is ever used in reference to him. In the episode "The Bottle Deposit" a character (the farmer's daughter) shouts "Goodbye, Norman," but this was a mistake on the part of the actress (Karen Lynn Scott). It was left in because it was considered funny.
