We told you earlier about Michael Richards' racial outburst at a comedy club over the weekend, and it was unfortunate timing, since Jerry Seinfeld was going to be on Letterman tonight and the 7th season DVD set was coming out tomorrow. But now comes word that Richards will actually appear on the show during Seinfeld's segment, via satellite, to explain his side of the story.
Defamer has the details, including a report from someone who was at the taping of the show, which airs on CBS at 11:35.
I guess you could say that it's a spoiler, since you read what Richards is going to say, but I'm sure it's still worth watching.

> He is lucky that he left out of that place alive.
This statement is just as inflammatory (and ignorant) as anything Richards said.
Go back to school, cheyene. You clearly have some things to learn about Constitutional rights, not to mention proper use of the English language.

oh... if the table were turned Patrick....
It is so sad that it is so easy for you to dismiss this because it does not affect you personally. Mr. Richard said what was in his heart, you don't say thinks like that "by accident" as a heterosexual person I would not blurt out I am gay if I am not. it does not make sense. and it bothers me that you know for a fact that he is not a racist and you defend him like he is a close friend of yours. you are really showing your ignorance Patrick!
again, People should be held accountable for there "indiscretions" (ignorance), rather than Spreading around responsibility to avoid guilt!
I can tell your personal guilt is what make you automatically defend him and believe that he is sincere in his apology.
If he came on the stage and in anger insult white people and said that white people are the cause of all problems in the world and that they are trash would it be so easy for you to accept that.
STEP OUTSIDE OF YOUR WORLD AND TAKE A LOOK!

End... Thank you!!! I didn't know how to respond to Patrick's nonsense... Bottomline, there is no room for racism in this Country. And to say that this guy is not a racist??? get outta here!!!! One's talent is irrelevant in this case.. I don't care how funny he was, is or gonna be. But at this time, he should be counting his blessing that he walked out of there. And there is nothing childish about that.
