9. Michael Richards
As goofy Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld, Michael Richards is known for his eccentric behavior and almost-painful candor. But his eccentric behavior is accepted; he’s the crazy neighbor we all love to hate on. However, it appears that Richards absorbed a bit too much of Cosmo Kramer.
In 2006, he was recorded making racist comments while performing at L.A.’s Laugh Factory. Hecklers are a part of any stage show, but Richards took particular offense to a group of African-American hecklers. His ensuing tirade was recorded and the video posted online. Following the nationwide condemnation, Richards appeared on David Letterman‘s show to apologize and pledged to seek help for his issues.
