FUMING SEINFELD PLANS TO DIGITALLY MANIPULATE OLD SHOW TO REPLACE MICHAEL RICHARDS WITH JIM CARREY

HOLLYWOOD - Jerry Seinfeld, fuming over Michael Richards' racial tirade at a Los Angeles comedy club, has ordered every episode of his classic television show Seinfeld digitally manipulated to replace Richards with comic actor Jim Carrey.

"Jim was gracious enough to step in at this unfortunate moment, and the sooner we excise the cancer from the show, the better," Seinfeld told Variety last night. He said that the first shows to be digitally manipulated will be from season four, widely regarded as the series' best. Seinfeld said Carrey will not be doing an impersonation of Richards, but "will inject his own brand of comic genius" into the show. He urged his fans who previously bought the show on DVD to "destroy" their copies and to replace them with the manipulated episodes as they become available.
