Michael Richards did a lot of justice to the character of Kramer on Seinfeld, a hit sitcom that came out in 1989. The 75-year-old actor and former stand-up comedian was partially responsible for the show’s success, as Kramer’s persona was loud and quite impactful.

Seinfeld lasted for nearly a decade before airing its final season in 1998. Richards also got a couple of projects to work on before appearing in his final (or latest) film Faith, Hope & Love in 2019. Sometimes, actors tend to become the characters they portray on screen, and for Richards, Kramer became a slight annoyance.

“Seinfeld” fans got a shock last month when Michael Richards made a public appearance at the Hollywood premiere for Jerry Seinfeld’s Netflix movie “Unfrosted.” It was one of the rare times Richards has showed up on a major red carpet in nearly 18 years, as his career more or less ended in 2006 after he was recorded hurling the N-word and other racial insults at a group of hecklers during an infamous outburst while onstage at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles.
Richards, who played Kramer on “Seinfeld” for nearly a decade and won three Emmys for his performance, is now returning to the spotlight due to the upcoming release of his memoir, “Entrances and Exits.” He recently told People magazine that “I’m not looking for a comeback” and stressed that he was “immediately sorry the moment” he said racial slurs onstage in November 2006.

The Kathy Bates-led reboot of "Matlock" may not hit TV screens for a while longer, but in the meantime, fans of the much-loved legal drama can still catch old episodes of the original run, well, pretty much everywhere. For cable-watchers, the show airs reruns in syndication, while home media junkies can get a DVD box set and those who prefer to stream can catch all nine seasons on Prime Video or PlutoTV.
"Matlock" aired for nine years, moving from NBC to ABC partway through its run and switching up its cast list throughout. Though several actors played more than one character throughout the series' run, only a handful appeared in more than 30 episodes of the series, most of them as Ben Matlock's legal associates. Of the main cast, Andy Griffith, Clarence Gilyard Jr., David Froman, and Richard Newton have all since passed away. Several remaining cast members continue...

Looks like Peta Murgatroyd is backtracking on “Dancing with the Stars.” In March, the two-time champ said she would love to return if the show would have her back. But now she’s changing her tune slightly.
“I’m actually not contracted with them right now,” Murgatroyd tells “Us Weekly,” adding that she and husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy would “maybe” come back in the future.
It’s unclear if Murgatroyd and the show already discussed a possible comeback and it didn’t work out or if she just had a change of heart, but the Aussie says she’s has been focusing on acting lately and does auditions “every couple of days.” Murgatroyd made her acting debut in March in “Faith, Hope & Love.” “Comic movies, superhero roles … that’s my thing,” she tells the magazine of her ideal roles. “That would just be a dream. … I don’t want to do just romantic comedies.

Candace Cameron Bure‘s daughter Natasha Bure is following in her mother’s footsteps into acting, but the 20-year-old hopes to mimic her mother in another way as well: She wants to go on “Dancing with the Stars.”
“I would love to do ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ I think it would be the coolest thing. I’m so competitive,” Natasha told “Entertainment Tonight” (watch below).
Candace was on Season 18, coming in third place with Mark Ballas, so Natasha will have her work cut out for her if she wants to best her mother’s finish.
If Natasha does go on “Dancing,” it wouldn’t be the first time a parent and child have competed on the show — all on different seasons. Master P replaced his son Romeo in Season 2 after the latter withdrew due to injury and infamously scored an 8 before finishing in seventh place. Romeo later competed in Season 12, placing fifth.

“Dancing with the Stars” is returning in the fall and if Peta Murgatroyd had her druthers, so will she.
The two-time champ hasn’t competed since Season 25 in fall 2017, but she tells “Entertainment Tonight” that she’s ready to hit the hardwood again. “I would love to be back,” she says (watch below). “I miss everybody and although it is hard work — it is the toughest job of all time — but I don’t know what it’s gonna take to get me back.
“I mean, I wanna come back,” she continues. “If it’s up to me, yes, probably. If they will have me back!”
It’s hard to see why “Dancing” wouldn’t want her back if she’s willing. Murgatroyd is a popular pro from the old guard and is married to an even more popular/lightning rod pro, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. The show is off the air this spring,...
