Michael Richards is a great physical comedian. No one ever did shakes and double-takes better than he did. Apparently, some Black guy interrupted his comedy routine, but hey, that has to be a frequent occurence at any nightclub where you normally perform before drunks and wiseasses.
I fail to understand the "upside down with a fork up your ass" bit. There is no old tradition involving inverting Black people or anyone else and inflicting pain on their anal region with any sort of fork.
He wasn't funny, and this will cost him bigtime, I predict.
His apology was on YouTube but CBS took it off because it was "used without permission".
Richards is not a leading man, he is a great supporting actor, though, and Kramer and the spaced-out pharmacist on Fridays were his best bits.
Did anyone catch his apology on Letterman?
