Dog's Apology Tour: Barking Up the CNN Tree

Duane Dog Chapman continued his tour of contrition last night -- pleading for forgiveness on "Larry King Live," one night after doing the same on "Hannity & Colmes."


During the hour-long conversation, Dog tried his best to keep the apologies coming, at one point he even started to whimper when talking about his wife Beth's reaction to the shameful situation.


TMZ caught Chapman on his way out the door where he gave our camera a message to his fans -- "Please forgive me."

91. It is so sad that after all these years we are still talking about racism. People really need to get a grip. People are People! There are some good people and bad people in every race.

93. Who says you can't teach an old Dog new tricks.

Forgive him? Hell yes! I'm just waiting for Sharpton and Jackson to follow his lead and issue some long overdue apologies of their own.

94. What got me at the end of the Larry King interview was when Dog said Tucker 'BETTER MARRY' this girl he called the 'n' word. What?

96. A & E will find a way to 'forgive' Dog since he's their #1 show.

This ordeal for Dog will end with a nice fat new contract and an obligatory statement from A & E. I'm no fan of Dog's but did see his CNN interview last night. Call me naive, but the guy seemed sincerely sorry and believe me, I was looking for a reason not to buy his apology.

Re the racist charge, no don't see it.
Now, if those same words came out of Mel Gibson's mouth, I'd believe they came straight from the heart.

The National Enquirer comes out looking like the pigs they are -- that part was exceptionally well-worth the hour interview.

97. Number 16 is right people call it as they see it. GET OVER IT!!! You can call us White trash and other names and we don't go on the war path. I have black friends who call each other the N word and who you call NO ONE! get over it. How about calling the two lwho think they are above all. J. Jackson and Al Sharp you know the guys who walk on water GIVE ME A BREAK. All races have their problems. Worry about your own damn life instead of others

98. This man IS RUFF but not evil, many of us out of anger will say hateful things to hurt the other person but deep down DON'T REALLY MEAN what they say. This was a bad moment between a private confrontation between a son and an dissapointed angry father.

If I was DOG i woul have just let the 'unloyal' son go to het a job somewhere, grow up and be responsible for his life, his son is an ungrateful grown man. LET HIM GO DOG, LET HIM GO AND DATE AND DO WHATEVER HE WANTS.

I LIKE THE DOG! , feel bad for him HIS OWN REBELLIOUS VINDICTIVE SON SOLD HIS OWN FATHER FOR $ 15,000, WHAT A 'JUDAS' OF A SON HE IS.

HE should be prosecuted for recording his father without his consent. KNOWING DOG HE PROBABLY WILL SAY DON'T PROSECUTE HIM, HE IS MY SON AND STILL LOVE HIM.

THE DOG IS NOT RACIST JUST HIS WAY OF EXPRESSING IS ROUGH, STREET TALK THAT LANDS HIM IN TROUBLE, . EXAGERATED WITH HIS REACTIONS TOO. BUT NOT A BAD MAN HE IS A MAN WHO HAS GONE FROM NOBODY TO BE SOMEVODY, HELPING TO CATCH CRIMINALS! and help to clean this corrupt society we are all living in. Some anger management will help DOG.

99. Yeah of course "white people" forgive him, he didnt say anything to them.. I dont think ppl will every understand if your not blk YOU DON"T USE THAT WORD EVER!!! I hate to use it & im blk myself, it's the most degrating,disrespectful thing EVER. I know "we" say it to each other all the time,but it's give other races no right to use it. I dont care how many time ur "blk friend" said it ws ok 2 do so!! they r lying 2 u & if u said it 2 someoneother than them, you will most likely have your feelings hurt.

101. I'm stiill pissed that my kids, who were fans of his, are pissed (disenchanted) about this. The world they're growing-up in is a lot scarier and more hostile than the one I grew-up in, and they have fewer public figures to look-up to. The reactions of kids are usually more spot-on and genuine than us grown-ups because they don't perceive things with the baggage we carry via life experience and/or overthink things.

Even if he gets his show back or starts one with a different network, the damage is done; sometimes it just is what it is.

(Jasmine: As soon as TMZ posts something about the war in Iraq, I'm sure hundreds will comment...?!)

102. HE'S ONLY SORRY BECAUSE IT WAS ON TAPE. HIS SON'S BLACK GIRLFRIEND IS A LOT BETTER LOOKING THAN THE COW HE FINALLY MARRIED. MOOOOOOOOO!!!

104. I can forgive dog for what he said, but i can not forgive him for continuing to be seen with that bloated hog that he calls a wife.
