Michael Richards, aka Kramer from Seinfeld, flabbergasted a comedy club audience by shouting racial epithets at black people who heckled him during his stand-up routine.

Richards, best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld's eccentric neighbor Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," was performing his stand-up routine at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood Friday night when he launched into a verbal rampage.

Two black audience members started heckling him saying that he wasn't funny.

Richards said: "Shut up! Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a [expletive] fork up your [expletive]."

"You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now [expletive]. Throw his [expletive] out. He's a n-----!" Richards shouts before repeating the 'n' word over and over again.

He told CNN off-camera he felt sorry for what had happened and had made amends.
