Just Call Him Cosmo Gibson – Part Deux

Only a few days after his racist rant against some African Americans came to light – followed by a clumsy apology on Letterman – former Seinfeld actor Michael Richards is now being accused of being an anti-Semite.

According to TMZ:

Did Michael Richards attack the Jews? Two Los Angeles residents have come forward and said that’s exactly what happened last Spring at L.A. comedy club, The Improv.

Carol Oschin and J.P. Fillet say they were at The Improv on April 22 when Richards took the stage. They say that in the middle of Richards’ skit, a man in the audience said something to the comedian, when Richards allegedly launched into an anti-Semitic rant. According to Oschin, Richards screamed at the audience member, “You f***ing Jew. You people are the cause of Jesus dying.”

Paging Mel Gibson..

Oschin says the rant continued and Richards stormed off the stage. Oschin and Fillet say that, at first, they thought Richards’ tirade was part of his act, but claim that it quickly became apparent it was not.

Richards’ publicist, Howard Rubenstein, confirmed to TMZ that Richards did make derogatory comments about Jews, but says it was part of his act. Rubenstein says Richards told him, “I’m not anti-Semitic. I was playing a role and poking fun at the rednecks.”

Yeah, right. Who does he think he is? Borat?

  1. Very weird, given that he starred in Seinfeld (!) for almost 10 years. And wasn’t Kosmo Jewish, too?
    Has anyone tried watching Seinfeld since seeing that video of Richards’ outburst? It’s almost impossible. That boyish, goofiness of Kosmo has been completely written over in my mind.

  3. Well, given the fact that Jesus was Himself Jewish (along with all His disciples!) anyone who says such a thing is an absolute moron. Even in jest it doesn’t sound funny.

    For someone with such a sense of humor, it is clear that Richards is a very angry man. But then, I’ve noticed that a lot of very humorous people suffer from hot tempers.

  4. Shy Guy, the Jew and the well comes from the well-known Borat song:

    Lyrics – In my country there is problem

    Verse

    In my country there is problem,

    And that problem is transport.

    It take very very long,

    Because Kazakhstan is big.

    Chorus 1

    Throw transport down the well (repeat line)

    So my country can be free (repeat line)

    We must make travel easy (repeat line)

    Then we’ll have a big party (repeat line)

    Verse 2

    In my country there is problem

    And that problem is the Jew

    They take everybody money

    And they never give it back

    Chorus 2

    Throw the jew down the well (repeat line)

    So my country can be free (repeat line)

    You must grab him by his horns (repeat line)

    Then we have a big party (repeat line)

    Verse 3

    If you see the Jew coming

    You must be carefull of his teeth

    You must grab him by his money

    And I tell you what to do
