I missed this when it happened:

Just saw Michael Richards freak out on a comedy club, calling people ’niggers'.

Then I saw Jerry with Letterman where Michael was to apologize.

It felt like a perfect Andy Kaufman act.. until Jerry and Michael made it clear it was not.

But, what a comeback for Michael Richards if he had engineered the melt-down and the public shaming.

When Letterman asked him: “Is there anything else you would like to do.. to remedy this situation”, I saw a humorous spark in his eyes. He had a funny answer but decided not to go with it.
