Notes on Michael Richards

On Nov. 17, 2006, Richards stunned a comedy club audience during a performance at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, a cell phone video captured Richards shouting "Shut up" to a heckler in the audience, followed by repeated shouts of "He's a nigger!" to the rest of the audience (using the word six times altogether), and also making a reference to lynching. Richards made a public apology for his remarks, during a satellite appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman," when Jerry Seinfeld was the guest.
