‘Seinfeld’s Michael Richards Reveals Co-Star “Almost Quit The Show In Season 3”


The actor has written a memoir referring to his time on the show, and also his time away from the spotlight.

He had won a Tony Award on the New York stage, not an insignificant achievement, and until the table read for ‘The Pen’ he has assumed that Seinfeld is a buddy show, starring him and Jerry.” In 2017, he told Access Hollywood that at the time he had snapped at Larry David, the lead writer for the sitcom, and threatened to leave the show. The publishers of his book, Permuted Press, refer to the incident in their press release for Richards’ memoir, saying it “drove him to a lifelong spiritual quest, one that would help him move forward from apology and accountability to a greater appreciation for our shared humanity, a quest that continues to this day almost eighteen years later.” The book will be published on June 3.
