I remember that on Letterman and I didn’t think he was doing a bit but I remember it being terribly awkward, which was probably appropriate. And I believe it’s affecting sales because I like the show but I think about the outburst every single time I see Kramer in a scene.
Somewhat unrelated, but I didn’t know dvd releases were still a thing in 2023.
Wow I never knew that happened. That’s pretty fucked (and is very hard to watch - “cringe” really was created for how the second half feels as he doubles down). I have no love for hecklers and 99% of the time I don’t care how far off the handle the comic flies in dealing with them, but that’s just not ok.
I have no interest in watching Dave’s bit. I’m sure it’s insightful, but the last few years have really soured my taste on him unfortunately
People these days don’t even remember Kramer’s N-word rant (obviously NSFW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amjUNF_R_PY
Dave Chappelle had a funny bit about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kth0UOU5a_M
17 years ago, good god how did that happen
His apology is hilarious. The Seinfeld DVD boxset is about to be released and Kramer’s outburst is lowering sales. Jerry invited him onto Lettermen and despite him actually trying to apologize everyone thinks he’s doing a bit

There’s some hilarious irony in the first clip censoring some words.
