Jerry Stiller, who played George Costanza's irascible dad on "Seinfeld," made a surprise visit last week to the couple who live in the Astoria, Queens, house that doubled as the Costanza abode.
He made their day.
"Hey, Costanza's father!" said Jack Lopipero, 84, who answered the door in an undershirt and shorts.
His flabbergasted wife, Bessie, also 84, stood on the steps behind him in a blouse and pajama bottoms.
"I can't believe this!" she exclaimed.
The Lopiperos have long lived in the two-story brick house on 37th St. whose exterior was used as the home of George Costanza's bickering parents, Frank and Estelle, played by Stiller and Estelle Harris.

"These people were loving and generous quite unlike the Costanzas that we know."
Beautiful.
