Train Wrecks
Leno Takes His Swings at Michael Richards

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."

46. What do you get when you cross a genocidal maniac with a pathological liar and a pompous arrogant prick. Give up. A small dicked white man. Better yet the whole "euro american" race. Fuck all of you crackers. White people have done more harm to any other race or culture of people then any other in the entire world. Be proud devil. But I do love white bitches who have and do suck on my long black dick though. Lmao.

47. What do you get when you cross a genocidal maniac with a pathological liar and a pompous arrogant prick. Give up. A white man with a rather small penis. Better yet the whole race has this kind of senseless hate in their blood. When you think about it I guess he couldn't help himself, it is innate in just about all whites to be bigots. I really hate all "euro americans" except for all of the fine young white freaks who have and do suck my big, long, black pole.

48. Thank God He's not a racist, because He want all that will to come (unto Him and repent of thier sins). Although I forgive this man for his level of ignorance, it is not my devine forgiveness that he so rightfully need to seek and it will be hard, but I can't be in support of the Jerry S. show. God's word say's: "After death, then come's the judgement."
May God Bless them who's mind's are stayed on Him.

49. Hey that's how he got his show in the first place... Backstab your friends instead of trying to set the record straight and telling people that some comedians do make mistakes. Leno is way underneath any kind of respect to artists, he'll jump on the bandwagon if this means that he'll get two new people to turn on his show.

Unfortunatly Dave's show, superior in every way, doesn't get the full respect it deserve 'cause 70% of the showbizz industry is located in Hollywood next to Jay's dressing room.

Get yourseflf a copy of the "Late Shift" dvd, it shows a pretty good picture that Letterman was screwed over by Leno, hence the stabbing in the back to get a laugh.

Richards has helped many communities by giving time and money, whether white, black or hispanic. Yes his comments were truly uncalled for, but were is the first part of the video? Where is the part where those two arseholes shout out unproper comments at him to get him this mad? Oh the black community will say "It's still uncalled for!" and we agree, but you know what, when you sit in a theater and someone is shouting shit at the screen and talking on a phone or just being an idiot, most of the time.. Black person being "all that" with an attitude when you tell them to shut up because you paid money to watch the movie, not listen to them. If this is a racist comment, oh soory, some little rap influenced white trash kids also do the same thing, but, they think they're black hence the racist comment on my part .. sorry... but it's true.

So those two idiots had it coming, unfortunatly it was Richards and not some no-name, because we all know that we would've never heard anything about it if this was a no-name, or a white guy at the apollo being trashed by some black comedian... Enough with us whites always being the bad guys, black are biggots like everyone else, but we can't say that 'cause 100 years ago some guy I don't know who lived somewhere had slaves and beat the crap out of them.

Guess I must be held responsible for the whole "slaves" thing 'cause i'm a white guy. It's horrible I see it too, no-one should be treated like this, but being disrespectfull then posting the lashback on the net without showing the full story... That's handling the story like you want it shown. Heck Chris Rock yells the N word all over the place, and yes it's the same whether you're black or white...

50. to respond to "explosivity" - You saying we're all bigots is soooooo funny 'cause your little comment just proves out that Niggers exists... Blacks should be ashamed of being in the same race as you... You must be one of those guys who never get the job because you're black right? Not because instead of going to school you hung out at the corner selling drugs to kids.

Funny how a bigot can also be black

51. what about this idiot or idiots that were heckling michael richards!! try showing some respect to a man who has earned it!! and on top of that this ####### gets 5 minutes on GMA. Sick of this racial crap going on everytime someone says nigger. In my book Richards will always be Kramer and he has earn my respect.

53. Yeah Patent... explosivity seems like a sadistic piece of shit. But he is probably just saying such offensive things like that to get a rise out of people. I highly doubt he gets laid by anyone (animal or human) at all.

54. Michael Richards should be ashamed! I never liked the show "Seinfield", but I did like Richards. However ,this display has shocked me to the core. What was he thinking? Was he under the influence? He made Mel Gibson's comments sound like nothing. Michael, Michael, SAME ON YOU!

55. Jim Crow...you know...your an embarrassment...and I'm sure you look like one as well...you are one ignorant idiot...

56. Jim Crow is just mad because he's about to get evicted from the trailer park and the $5 hooker he was banging last night made fun of his tiny,tiny dick!

57. Jinxy cat
Stop questioning black people about why they use the N word because frankly it's none of your buisness. You're not black so stop worrying yourself about the black culture. You don't llive it so you don't get it and you never will. So just stop trying to justify what this man did by saying that black people use the word so why can't he because you know damn well it's not the same thing.

59. seems Leno is miffed that he wasn't given the scoop for the apology.

That show was Letterman's highest rated show in a long time.

Sorry Leno. You are a sad sack of a fello.
