BREAKING: Michael Richards Is Sorry

Apparently taping just wrapped on tonight's David Letterman, and Michael Richards made an appearance via satellite to apologize for the awful, racist remarks that had their webcast debut today.

A source at Defamer, who was at the taping, says "they got Michael Richards to be on the show via satellite. He apparently insists that he's not racist, even though he kept referring to 'Afro-Americans' through the interview."

Another source at TMZ says that Richards was near tears during the apology. Richards' excuse is rumored to be "rage issues." Uh-huh. That's like saying your excuse is "actively hating black people." Nice try, Mikey.

Richards appeared as a part of a previously-scheduled interview with Jerry Seinfeld.

Set your TiVos, kiddos!
