Bernie Mac and panel of black comics to roast Michael Richards

Posted by Tandra Barner on Thursday, May 2, 2024


Former Seinfeld goofball Michael Richards is hoping to recover fairly from his career-ending racist heckler tirade at a comedy gig closing November. He used the dreaded “N” word time and again and made an outrageous critical lynching reference to some other folks talking in the audience. Multiple apologies and attempts to make amends to the black community couldn’t erase the general public’s memory of his angry outburst.

Comedian Bernie Mac, a pal of Richards, is going to dangle a Friars Club comedy roast of the unfunny bigot with a group of four other African American comedians. He hopes it's going to help convey him again within the good graces of the public:

The 57-year-old former “Seinfeld” big name – who was publically skewered for berating hecklers with the “n” word right through his comedy club routine ultimate yr – will likely be put at the scorching seat in a star roast hosted through Bernie Mac.

An enormous fan of the vintage Dean Martin TV roasts, Bernie has lined up Michael to be the first “visitor” grilled by fellow comedians for a new collection of Friars club Roasts, which can air on cable and be launched on DVD.

“Bernie and a panel of four different black comedians are getting ready to verbally torch Michael for his past work and the general public furuor he led to with his racist tirade,” said an insider.

Michael’s in reality having a look ahead to the embarassing night time, stated the insider.

He’s hoping the public humiliation will help beef up his tarnished recognition….

Although you'll make sure that the remarks by means of Bernie and other comics will probably be merciless and merciless, Bernie is in fact a pal of Michael.

That’s great of Bernie and all, and I think that Richards does want to get a public lashing, but on the similar time the man doesn’t deserve another likelihood at a comedy career. He blew it royally.

Comedians are supposed to know how to take care of hecklers and talkers, and in the event that they don’t stay their cool the least they may be able to do is to swear and throw shit like a normal person having a freak-out. Richards didn’t simply use the “N” phrase, he brought up the shameful abnormal fruit previous of the South as though murder was justifiable punishment for talking somewhat smack over his act. He stated “50 years ago we’d have had you up a tree with a fork up your ass.” 50 years in the past a bit of 14 yr outdated boy was murdered in Mississippi for whistling at a white woman. You don’t shaggy dog story about things like that, and the best way Richards mentioned it, it wasn’t a shaggy dog story.

Richards wishes to pass away for excellent and are living in relaxed disgrace off the Seinfeld royalties.
