Headline: Michael Richards opens up over cancellation for racist outburst

Caption: With his new memoir now available, the former Seinfeld star spoke to an Australian breakfast TV show about forgiving himself for using racist slurs during a stand-up comedy show in 2006. "I had to start with that forgiveness in myself, ultimately," Michael, 74, told Sunrise. "How do I move on from such a despicable night? Bad night. Horrible night. Said horrible things. That was 18 years ago.". On the night in question, Michael was filmed screaming racist slurs at a group of hecklers at the Laugh Factory comedy club in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
