Boy he didn't look good at all during Letterman. And Seinfeld was pretty pissed that people in the crowd were laughing throughout thinking it was funny.
Oh god he made a mess of things on the Letterman show. It would probably have been best if he kept his remarks short rather than be philosophical. One thing was clearly evident...he looked like a broken man.
As for the audience laughing, Richards induced that laughter. I'm not sure if you can blame them.

They were talking about his Letterman "apology" on the radio a minute ago and they brought up some good points about the people laughing.
First, you have to think that many of the people in the audience are tourists who had probably been walking around NYC all day long, and therefore hadn't seen the news or Access Hollywood or whatever. If they weren't aware of how horribly he acted they might just think it was a joke, maybe making fun of the Mel Gibson thing or something.
Second, they may have seen the clip, and therefore they felt really uncomfortable to be in the audience listening to him talk about it. Lots of people deal with really uncomfortable situations by laughing or whatever.
Third, this is still the guy who played Kramer, one of the most beloved goofy TV characters ever, so they may be having trouble seperating the character with the jackass who played him.
I don't know why they thought it was funny, maybe they were laughing at how pathetic he's become.

To me alcohol is never to blame, it just brings out your thoughts and emotions. A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts.

Here's his apology from Letterman. Honestly, I can't tell if he's sorry because he know's what he said was wrong or if it's because he got caught acting like a world class dick and now he knows he's screwed.

Afro-Americans? Who uses that term? I don't think this guy has ever socialized with someone that's African American.

To me this apology seems real, and I am a bit pissed that people were laughing in the audience. See the thing is we are so used to the role of Richards as Kramer, and we dont know how he acts in real life.
But I think that is how is in real life, and it is funny to us, because we compare that to Kramer, but it is really Richards speaking.
It is kinda like listening Chapelle talk about something serious. You just cant, and you laugh even though he isn't trying to be funny.
Do I think what he did was right? No. Do I think this apology has made the situation any better? Not so much.

I agree. I was expecting a serious guy but I couldn't honestly tell him apart from Kramer. The way he gestured and moved were very much reminiscent of Kramer.
It's probably time to move on. No sense it bagging on this guy after he has apologized.
