During the 1990s, Tomei made several television appearances. In 1996, she made a guest appearance on the sitcom "Seinfeld", playing herself in the two-part episode "The Cadillac". In the episode, George Costanza attempts to get a date with her through a friend of Elaine Benes's. She also made an appearance on "The Simpsons" as movie star Sara Sloane, who falls in love with Ned Flanders. Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Jay Mohr wrote in his book "Gasping for Airtime" that, as guest host in October 1994, Tomei insisted that a proposed sketch, "Good Morning Brooklyn", not be used because she did not like the idea of being stereotyped; that displeased the writers and performers, given the show's penchant for satirizing celebrities. Tomei did parody her "My Cousin Vinny" role, which had considerable Brooklyn influence, in a skit (out of several recurring) spoofing the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial.
