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.

18. I mean Ryan Seacrest does have to be the most annoying TV personality alive, and he seriously needs to come out of the closet already, but wishing AIDS on someone is not cool. At least not publicly.

19. If a room filled with happy, laughing drunk people didn't find that funny, I wonder how the world feels?? Preaty low if you ask me. There is a fine line between comedy and being an asswhole. Race, Gender and Religon jokes teeder on that line... but sick jokes, COME ON PEOPLE... no one AND I MEAN NO ONE laughs when someone has AIDS. I can't even imagine a situation where my worst enemy might get a chuckle...sorry, no haha's from me!! This man should NEVER be allowed on a stage again.... (didn't he get the clue from american idol try-outs???)

20. What a piece of slime -- been sucking on too many sour grapes!

NOTHING is funny about AIDs, NOTHING is funny about the pain the suffering and the losses. I'm glad to know dunkledick said this, though, so I will make sure NEVER to EVER go near anything he is remotely associated with!

21. Of course he is a bitter man? Wouldn't you be if your last name was Dunkleman compared with Seacrest?

23. Brian Dunkleman ...You know GOD does not like ugly..There is a thing called Karma. Pray that NO one in your family ever gets it, because they might run into a ASSHOLE like you

29. TMZ is taking shots at someone for being inappropriate. That's like Andrew Dice Clay calling someone out for being misogynistic.

30. I DO think Ryan helped Execs oust Dunkelman (appropriate name, no?) He seems that cut-throat and has for the past 10 years, but this guy could have come out doing OK too (a tell-all, or produce a similar show) but he hasn't.

Painful.
