K-K-Kramer?
Monday, November 20, 2006
The man who once played Kramer on "Seinfeld" is in some real-life trouble for going on a racial rant during a comedy show. Richards went on a racial slur-filled tirade against some African American hecklers at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood Friday night. One of the men says he was just playfully heckling Richards during his routine when he lost it. "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a fucking fork up your ass." As the crowd grew uncomfortable, Rohcards continued his comments. "Throw his ass out. He's a nigger! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! A nigger, look, there's a nigger," screamed Richards. One of the men yelled back, "That's un-fucking called for, ain't necessary."
The whole thing was caught on camera and can be seen on TMZ.com.
Conveniently enough, Jerry Seinfeld was a guest on the "Late Show with David Letterman" tonight. During the interview, Michael Richards appeared via satellite to apologize for his comments. "I am not a racist. That's what is so insane about this," Richards said. Some of the audience thought this was all a joke at first, laughing at Richards. Seinfeld told them, "Stop laughing. It's not funny." Richards had an odd explanation, saying his feelings stemmed from "a great deal of disturbance between blacks and whites after Hurricane Katrina, but said he was "deeply sorry" for his remarks.
