Is that an actual quote? If so, that's hilarious.
I saw George Wallace on stage once; pretty funny guy.
Comedian George Wallace told the Jeff Foxx team at WRKS (98.7 FM) that he worked with Jerry Seinfeld in getting Richards a chance to apologize Monday night on the David Letterman show.
"It was important for him to get right out and say he's sorry," said Wallace. "Jerry dropped his own standup bit on the show to make room for Michael.
"But this will damage him for a long time. You can go on TV every day and apologize and people will say you didn't."
Asked how he felt about Richards' outburst, Wallace - who is black - cracked, "It's about time someone told those Negroes to shut up."

He is a very funny guy. I feel like I've been laughing with him for thirty years. I saw him a few times live. He's an old pro.
He always wanted to be a comedian even when he was a little boy. But he went and got two degrees in marketing and sales at Akron (Ohio) way back when. Then he went off to try his hand at what he really wanted to do. I'm glad that he did.
He IS a very funny guy.
He's one of the funniest ever!
