Michael Richards

So, is Kramer the reason why there were so few black people on Seinfeld?

theresa...

"Friends" was like that too -- and then when they brought that
black gal on, she was a Condi Rice and not a normal black woman.

Kool-Aid Man...

What, exactly, is a "normal" black woman?

KennyGee...

Star Jones...without the money.

Obveeus...

Speaking of which, Isn't Jerry Seinfeld supposed to be on Leno tonight?
Talk about bad timing.

GarondoMarondo...

He's on Letterman, not Leno.

Obveeus...

Thanks for the clarification. It might just be worth taping to see if the
M.Richards subject comes up.

GarondoMarondo...

CNN had a statement from Seinfeld on the subject, its probably on their
website somewhere. The Letterman ep might be from last week, who knows
with his wacky recording sched.

Garondo Marondo!

He issued a statement already (which seems unnecessary, just because
they were once on a show together, but anyway...). From a zap2it story

"I am sick over this. I'm sure Michael is also sick over this
horrible, horrible mistake. It is so extremely offensive. I feel
terrible for all the people who have been hurt."

Obveeus...

I just saw that on CNN HN. I'm guessing that the reason Seinfeld issued the
statment is that he will be on TV tonight. Best to at least partly address
the situation now, before the Tonight Show gets recorded. Now, if it comes
up on The Tonight Show, he could even state that he has already commented on
the situation and won't be saying anything more. I think it is rather sad
that the American public wants to jump on this in a way that even former co
workers of Richards feel compelled to adress the situation.
