Kramer Goes Bananas
Poor, poor Michael Richards. His career is pretty much non-existent since his glory days as doofus Kramer on Seinfeld, and now he’s being reduced to the level of Mel Gibson.
Richards seems to lose his mind after being heckled by a few of the audience members. His almost three minute vocal tirade is not only unfunny, but it’s also just sad to watch.
He’s already recorded a segment via satellite on tonight’s Letterman, which coincidentally had Jerry Seinfeld to appear as a guest. Richards was reported to be almost in tears the entire time.
Does it strike anyone else that this just seems a little too “publicity stunt”-ish? I understand the backlash that he’ll get because of this, but isn’t this just putting him back in the public spotlight?
A small part of me thinks this whole scheme was concocted for that very purpose. That the hecklers themselves may have even played a part in it. It wouldn’t be too far fetched in this
age where Borat rules supreme, and people actually think Stephen Colbert is a Republican.
Warning: Video has NSFW language, obviously.
UPDATE: Here’s the video of his apology on Letterman last night. It’s extremely painful, so be prepared to squirm uncomfortably in your chair while watching.
