Michael Richard's Apology

Michael Richards apologized via satellite on Letterman last night, as Jerry Seinfeld was a guest on the show.

The audience at Letterman had to have been a bunch of vacationers in NY who hadn't watched the news (or read a Celebrity Gossip Blog) because they were laughing through parts of the apology, when it clearly was not funny.

Jerry Seinfeld even asked the audience to "stop laughing, it's not funny.."

The laughter continued as Michael Richards apologized. They couldn't tell the difference between an actual apology and the Seinfeld character, Kramer.

"You know I hear your audience laugh, and it's uh..," Richards said. "..and I'm not even sure that this is...uh...where I should be addressing the situation..I've already heard you make some jokes about it and that's ok..but I'm really busted up over this."

Watch the entire apology for yourself. Do you think he is genuine?
