Contrary to Frank Costanza’s insistence, “serenity now!” can only do so much when it comes to keeping calm. Just ask Seinfeld stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander, who can be seen breaking mid-scene in a newly-resurfaced moment from the iconic ‘90s sitcom.
Earlier this week, Redditor ExtraGlutenPlzz headed to the Seinfeld subreddit with an observation for fellow fans on Season Nine’s “The Merv Griffin Show”: What’s the deal with Michael Richards’ chip-and-burp combo making two of his fellow castmates visibly lose their shit?
“Julia has said that when Michael Richards takes a break to eat a chip on the Merv Griffin show, she couldn’t stop laughing. She can be seen here for a microsecond laughing,” they captioned a screengrab taken about nine minutes into the episode.
Snapped moments after Kramer grilled George on pigeons, called a fake “commercial break,” shoved a few chips into his mouth,...

Over the course of his 40-plus years as a talk show host, David Letterman weathered his fair share of uncomfortable celebrity encounters, including Madonna’s F-bomb-filled 1994 Late Show visit. But few moments were as painful to watch as the time Michael Richards showed up—via satellite—to apologize for a racist outburst that had occurred during a comedy show just three days earier.
In Entrances and Exits, a new memoir from the man best known as Seinfeld’s quirky Cosmo Kramer, Richards opens up about that infamous on-air mea culpa.
The story began on the evening of November 17, 2006, when Richards imploded his career with a single tirade while performing at Hollywood’s Laugh Factory. When a rowdy audience member decided to heckle Richards by declaring him “not funny,” the actor—who was attempting to ease his way back into the standup comedy scene—lost it.

Some actors fade away after their breakout hits, and some have a precise moment when their careers end. Michael Richards—who won three Emmys playing Kramer on Seinfeld—undoubtedly falls into the latter category. In 2006, long after the sitcom went off the air, Michael Richards was back on the stand-up circuit, just as he had started his career. Perhaps ironically, that’s how he ended it, too.
In November of that year, Michael Richards launched into a tirade filled with racist and disgusting rhetoric, the video leak of which sealed his fate. Nearly 20 years later, he reflects on that moment and what he was experiencing while on stage at the Laugh Factory. “My anger was all over the place and it came through hard and fast. Anger is quite a force. But it happened. Rather than run from it, I dove into the deep end and tried to learn from it.

In the first two episodes of Investigation Discovery’s documentary series into the alleged sexual abuse, racism and sexism that took place on several Nickelodeon series during early ’90s and 2000s, child stars accused network producers and crew members of child sexualization and fat-shaming, and female writers say they were forced to split their salaries and act out sexually suggestive scenes in the writers room.
“This series investigates the abuses experienced by children from the adults they were expected to trust. Viewer discretion is advised,” is the warning that pops up at the beginning of each episode of “Quiet on Set,” cautioning viewers ahead of the horrific allegations.
The series started off with a peek into Nickelodeon executive Dan Schneider’s life going from an awkward Memphis teen (who was reported to have attended his father’s alma mater Harvard University though he never actually went) to landing a role on “Head of the Class,...
