"The Masseuse" is the seventy-third episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. This was the 9th episode for the 5th season. It aired on November 18, 1993.
Elaine dates a man who shares the name of notorious serial killer Joel Rifkin (Anthony Cistaro) and tries to convince him to change his name. Jerry's girlfriend, a masseuse (Jennifer Coolidge), seems unwilling to give Jerry a massage, even as she takes Kramer as a client. Meanwhile, she is not fond of George, leading him incessantly to wonder why, even to his neglect of his own girlfriend Karen (Lisa Edelstein). Eventually, Jerry goes insane and angrily forces his girlfriend to give him the massage.
Elaine suggests that her boyfriend change his name from Joel Rifkin to "O.J." Rifkin (after O.J. Simpson) to avoid being confused with Joel Rifkin, the famous serial killer. Ironically, seven months later O.J. Simpson was accused of murder, and himself became one of the most famous alleged murderers in US history.
