Where He Started. Where He Left Off.

Kramer. Kramer, Kramer, Kramer. Really? Let's revisit a few months back in time, shall we? I think we all know who's not getting a job in the spotlight for a while, or at least not on stage at the Laugh Factory. He went from funny, lovable and crazy-uncle-type to a foul-mouthed monster in...OK, a decade, I suppose. He was just never a big deal outside of Seinfeld. Now, here's my disclaimer: I don't claim to know anything about him outside of Seinfeld, because honestly, I didn't think he was that funny of a character when he was Kramer. I happen to think he's a bit more of a human being after he snapped on stage of the Laugh Factory because he proved that famous people, (people with money and fame, kids) have just as many break-downs, if not more, than people who don't have the cameras in their face at all hours of the day. Publicity stunt or not, this turned plenty of people's heads from ever giving this guy the time of day again.

Racist? Yes. Completely. Saying THAT word...anywhere in front of a crowd is unacceptable. Not that I'd be OK with it being said in a crowd of smaller people, but the effect on America wouldn't be such a big wave of unhappiness and shock because well, no one would know about it. He was an icon. A person that people looked to when they needed a laugh. Now, Michael Richards is going to be known as, "Oh...THAT guy."
