Sick Joke? Bitter Dunkleman Goes After Seacrest

Posted Jul 27th 2007 4:15PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned audiences at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood were shocked and awed last week, after axed Season One "American Idol" co-host Brian Dunkleman (memba him? no?) went on a tirade against Ryan Seacrest. Girls behaving badly!

During his set, Dunkleman, now an alleged comedian, poked fun at his stint on "Idol," but when he began making inappropriate comments like, "If wishes came true Ryan Seacrest would have AIDS," the laughter stopped faster than it does at a screening of "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry."

We're told the sad sap went on to spew that Seacrest "probably already has AIDS." Because, really, what's funnier than incurable life-threatening epidemics?! Luckily, once Dunkleman was done with his vicious diatribe, other comics like Godfrey brought life back into the room by actually being funny!

There are currently over 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide.

6. How does this site pick and choose what to get serious on. First he was making a futile effort to be funny about AIDS. I imagine scores of people die every year from drinking and driving, maybe more than from AIDS in the US, but you choose to point that out infrequently if ever. My point is, don't make this a serious site, keep it light, you're no BBC kids.

9. What a loser. I guess he's still bitter about leaving American Idol after season 1. Guess what dude, Seacreast is a great TV host, successful DJ, TV producer, has taken over alot of Dick Clark productions and duties with rockin eve etc, while you are still pond scum. Get over your bad career move because you can talk all the jib you want but you still have no career and no clout. This will be the last stint you do at that comedy club that's for sure. Buh-bye.
