Sarah Silverman's Shocking On-Set Encounter with Seinfeld Star

Sarah Silverman Spills the Tea on Her Horrifying Experience with Michael Richards on Seinfeld

In a jaw-dropping episode of her podcast, Inside of You, Sarah Silverman has revealed the shocking truth about her time filming the iconic sitcom Seinfeld back in 1997. The comedian, now 54, opened up about an unsettling encounter she had with co-star Michael Richards, aka Kramer.

Silverman appeared on Rosenbaum's podcast to discuss her experience working with Richards, and let's just say it was a wild ride. When asked if she'd ever been intimidated by an actor, Silverman hesitated before sharing the cringe-worthy story.

It all went down during filming for a 1997 episode where Richards' character Kramer is supposed to be terrified in bed while sleeping next to Silverman's character, his girlfriend. Sounds innocent enough, but things took a turn when Silverman accidentally flubbed her line. Instead of saying "It's probably the wind," she blurted out "It's probably the rain."

Richards' reaction was nothing short of astonishing. He snapped at her, pointing furiously towards the window and shouting, "Do you see rain in that window?! Then why did you say rain? Is there rain in that window right now?" Silverman imitated Richards' tone, conveying his sudden outburst.

Rosenbaum's stunned response summed up the situation perfectly: "Oh, that's horrifying."

Silverman went on to reveal that she apologized for her mistake, but Richards was still fuming. However, it seemed like they put the awkward moment behind them and moved forward. Or so we thought.

The next day, Silverman shared another story about how Richards' wealth rubbed her the wrong way. While waiting to film a scene, Richards started bragging about his luxurious lifestyle, mentioning a house in Laurel Canyon he was considering buying.

Silverman's reaction? A sassy, "I don't give a f**k!" She mustered up all her energy to express her frustration. Richards seemed taken aback but eventually regained his composure and treated Silverman with kindness.

This isn't the first time we've heard whispers about Richards' temper. In 2021, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine Benes) shared that he could be "scary" to work with due to his intense focus on his craft. Even Richards himself admitted in an interview that if co-stars broke character and laughed during a take, he'd get angry and tell them to keep going.

It's no secret that Richards has had his fair share of controversies over the years. His infamous tirade at the Laugh Factory in 2006 left many reeling. Last year, he published his memoir, Entrances and Exits, which might provide some insight into his experiences during those tumultuous times.
