Seinfeld's Michael Richards' Magical Mystery Tour

What do you do after hecklers cause you to commit career suicide on stage at a West Hollywood comedy club by revealing your inner Klansman? (I've posted his racist rant below if you've forgotten what went down at the Laugh Factory this past November). If your Michael Richards, you apologize, quit comedy, travel to Cambodia, and start meditating with a dude known as "Swami G." Today, the LA Times catches up with Cosmo Kramer. But don't call this trip "karmic rehab." Richards: "I'm trying to learn to enjoy myself."

Richards, best known for his portrayal of the eccentric Cosmo Kramer on the popular television series "Seinfeld," said he has quit stand-up comedy.

"That night, when I was insulted and disrupted, I lost my heart; I lost my sense of humor. I've retired from that. I'm taking time off to feel myself out, get to know myself and appreciate other people," Richards said in an interview here.

Richards, 57, and actress Beth Skipp traveled to remote temples before visiting Angkor Wat on a tour sponsored by the Los Angeles-based Nithyananda Foundation. The sect adheres to the teachings of 29-year-old Hindu monk Nithyananda -- an avowed "enlightened Master and modern mystic" who's referred to by his followers as "Swami G."
