Train Wrecks
Leno Takes His Swings at Michael Richards

Posted Nov 21st 2006 8:40PM by TMZ Staff

Jay LenoA day after Michael Richards apologized on "The Late Show with David Letterman," Jay Leno took to "The Tonight Show" stage and delivered a few zingers at the expense of the man we know as "Kramer."

"I had a horrible gig last night," Leno began. "I had to follow Michael Richards at The Laugh Factory."

But Leno didn't stop there. He continued, "As you know, Michael Richards said some very offensive things at a comedy club the other night in Hollywood. People were booing, yelling, some got up and walked out. Of course, people waiting outside for the second show had no idea what was going on. They just assumed Carrot Top was on stage."

Check out Leno's jokes for yourself on tonight's episode of "The Tonight Show."

11. what michael richards did was really really bad, but jay leno is the most unfunny guy to ever get a show. no one in comedy respects him. he still makes Brokeback jokes and would still be doing dancing ito's and lewinsky jokes if his writers would let him. he steals every bit from letterman and stole stuttering jon from howard stern because he has no clue as to what he's doing, even after 14 years. johnny carson wanted to give the show to letterman and leno stole it. i'll forgive kramer before i ever forgive that untalented f*ck!

12. Jay you didn't pick on MIchael because "Seinfeld" was on NBC and Mel Gibson made a movie that made you liberals squirm with anger over religion? Hmmm?

15. I think that what Richards said was something to take real notice of. People should realize the repercussions of their action and not be surprised when someone lashes back at their cruel or insulting comments. I realize that what Richards said, out of the situation, was pretty bad. However, due to the comments and coaxing that the audience member did, I think that it’s not only acceptable, but almost called for. Why is it that people that have no status or celebrity position, can say anything, but if your noticed by the masses, that you can't get angry, or have a bad day, or stand up for yourself when confronted with insult. Go Richards, I think that he’s funny as hell and hold no bad blood at all from this event. I think that audiences everywhere should beware that if you ask for it, you very well may get it!
