In Michael’s memoir, he talks about everything we’d expect — time on the set of Seinfeld, his childhood, and of course, the racist outburst that brought down his career. To promote its release, Michael spoke with People, in which he revealed, “I was immediately sorry the moment I said it onstage … I'm not looking for a comeback."

"My anger was all over the place and it came through hard and fast," he went on. "Anger is quite a force. But it happened. Rather than run from it, I dove into the deep end and tried to learn from it. It hasn’t been easy." He added, "Crisis managers wanted me to do damage control. But as far as I was concerned, the damage was inside of me."

He's also been married to Beth Skipp since 2010, with whom he shares one son. Now that he has opened up about how the outburst changed him and made him look inward, we’re finally learning about the psyche of the man behind television’s favorite neighbor.
