‘I’m Not a Normal Man’: Seinfeld’s Michael Richards Re-Lives Infamous N-Word Meltdown on The View

Michael Richards addressed his 18-year-old comedy club meltdown where he hurled racial slurs at a heckler, telling the hosts of The View he “cancelled” himself out of Hollywood after the incident.

While performing at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles in 2006, Richards was captured on camera hurling racial slurs as he insulted a heckler who told he wasn’t funny. Richards is best known for starring as the character Kramer on Seinfeld from 1989-1998.

“I don’t believe in cancel culture,” Sunny Hostin told Richards. “I believe in consequence culture, and you’ve paid a lot of consequences.”
