Plenty of sitcom actors have little rituals they do -- like huddling together or saying a particular phrase -- before taping a show, and the "Seinfeld" cast was no different. But for a group whose unofficial motto was "No hugging, no learning," their last pre-show huddle was uncharacteristically sweet.

In a flashback video from 2004, a few years after taping the "Seinfeld" series finale, the show's stars appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and opened up about filming the last scene of the last episode (which aired on May 14, 1998).

"That was tough. That was really tough," Jerry Seinfeld said back then. "It was tough to say goodbye."

"We were a very unsentimental group in a lot of ways," said Jason Alexander. "We would always do a little huddle before every episode and it was nothing. We just make sounds... It had no real power to it."

Until, he added, Seinfeld spoke up during the huddle at that last-ever taping.

"Jerry said, 'I just want to say something... For the rest of our lives, when anyone thinks of one of us, they'll think of all four,'" Alexander revealed. "And then added, 'I can't think of three people I'd rather have that be true of.'"
