Late Show with David Letterman
BTW, the video is from when she gave him the underwear and not a preview of tonight’s show!
Wow, so since she kind of slammed Britney about not wearing underwear, I guess their friendship is over.
In an interview to be broadcast tonight, Monday, Nov. 20, on the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, comedian Michael Richards offers an explanation and apology for the racial comments he made this weekend during a stand-up routine at a Los Angeles comedy club.
Richards was featured via satellite from Los Angeles during an interview with scheduled guest Jerry Seinfeld, who asked Richards, his former “Seinfeld” co-star, to appear on the CBS late night broadcast. The following is an excerpt from Richards’ interview:
Letterman: “Why don’t you explain exactly what happened for the folks who may not know.”
Richards: “I lost my temper on stage. I was at a comedy club trying to do my act and I got heckled and I took it badly and went into a rage and said some pretty nasty things to some Afro-Americans, a lot of trash talk, and uh…”
Letterman: “And you were actually being heckled or were they just talking and disturbing the act?”
Richards: “That was going on too.”
* * *
Richards: “…You know, I’m really busted up over this and I’m very, very sorry to those people in the audience, the blacks, the Hispanics, whites – everyone that was there that took the brunt of that anger and hate and rage and how it came through, and I’m concerned about more hate and more rage and more anger coming through, not just towards me but towards a black/white conflict. There’s a great deal of disturbance in this country and how black feel about what happened in Katrina, and, you know, many of the comics, many of performers are in Las Vegas and New Orleans trying to raise money for what happened there, and for this to happen, for me to be in a comedy club and flip out and say this crap, you know, I’m deeply, deeply sorry. And I’ll get to the force field of this hostility, why it’s there, why the rage is in any of us, why the trash takes place, whether or not it’s between me and a couple of hecklers in the audience or between this country and another nation, the rage – “
Letterman: “But Michael, let me interrupt here for a second and ask a question about had the people doing the heckling or the people who were not paying attention, had they been white or Caucasian or any other race, what would have been the nature of your response then?”
Richards: “It may have happened. It may have happened. You know, I’m a performer. I push the envelope, I work in a very uncontrolled manner onstage. I do a lot of free association, it’s spontaneous, I go into character. I don’t know, in view of the situation and the act going where it was going, I don’t know, the rage did go all over the place. It went to everybody in the room. But you can’t – you know it’s, I don’t – I know people could, blacks could feel – I’m not a racist, that’s what so insane about this, and yet it’s said, it comes through, it fires out of me and even now in the passion that’s here as I confront myself.”
The full interview with Seinfeld and Richards will be broadcast on the LATE SHOW tonight ( 11:35 PM-12:37 AM , ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
I don’t know about you, but he doesn’t seem to be helping his case with his answers? I think the best way to see how sincere his appology is is to watch Letterman tonight. I would say that this was a career ender, but he really hasn’t had a career since Seinfeld.
When Jerry Seinfeld appeared on the "Late Night With David Letterman" Monday night, he took the opportunity to give some airtime to his old pal Michael Richards. Richards, who played Seinfeld’s eccentric neighbor Kramer on the sitcom "Seinfeld," wanted a chance to publicly apologize for racist comments he made during a stand-up routine recently. The actor appeared live via satellite from Television City, Calif., and fielded questions from Letterman, while Seinfeld looked on. "For me to be at a comedy club and flip out and say this crap…" said Richards. "I’m deeply, deeply sorry."
On tonight’s LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, Letterman introduced the Top Ten List as being presented by former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey. However, instead of McGreevey, former LATE SHOW writer and staff member Gerard Mulligan walked out on stage to present the Top Ten List. Letterman explained that "we had invited the governor to be here, he said he would be here, we were all very excited that he was going to be here and then he stopped calling. They just stopped calling. They left us numbers that were unplugged, we couldn’t get a hold of him. He said, ‘Oh no, we’re coming, don’t worry, we’re coming,’ and that’s the last we heard of him…I hope he’s okay."
"Chapter Titles in Jim McGreevey’s Book"

Justin Timberlake joked that he was "completely drunk" while appearing on a US talk show. The ‘SexyBack’ singer made the claim on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman’ after being asked about revelations he smoked "weed" during a recent interview. Timberlake quipped: "I make a promise to you I try not to do drugs while I’m doing interviews. I’m completely drunk right now." Letterman also quizzed Timberlake on his relationship with ‘Charlie’s Angels’ actress Cameron Diaz, but the 25-year-old singer told the host he "didn’t want to go into details". Letterman also grilled Justin – who was making his first appearance on the popular show – about his now infamous half-time performance with Janet Jackson at Super Bowl XXXVIII. The host asked: "It was all part of the deal, right? It was all planned, pre-meditated? As I recall you made a move to, uh… but what was supposed to happen? Doves were supposed to fly out? Release the doves!"
