Cosmo Kramer is a racist! Get out!
This past Friday night, Michael Richards performed at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. After getting heckled by two African American men in the audience, he proceeded to go nuts. Like, more than Kramer did when he saw Joe DiMaggio at Dinky Donuts.
He dropped the "N" bomb like it was going out of style, and stunned everyone in attendance. The incident was caught on an audience member's cellphone, and showed Richards pacing back and forth on stage while saying things like, "Throw his ass out. He's a n*****!"
Oh, Cosmo.
Today, the Laugh Factory held a press conference saying that Richards would be banned and his behavior would not be tolerated. Everyone at Friday night's show was refunded.
I, being cynical, smell two things: a cry for help, and for publicity. I doubt Julia Louis-Dreyfus is going to ask him to guest on The New Adventures of Old Christine now.
Richards will appear on David Letterman's show tonight, via satellite, to apologize. Coincidentally, Jerry Seinfeld will be a guest.
Good for Jerry, taking care of his psychotic friends. Yikes.
