The most racist region of America may actually be TV Land.

Now Andy Dick has apologized for using the “N-word” on the stage of the West Hollywood Improv Saturday night, December 2, 2006:

According to sources, the hopped-up comedian hopped onstage … at L.A.’s Improv comedy club and dropped the n-bomb on a room full of stunned clubgoers.

Andy was heckling comedian Ian Bagg during his routine, when Dick allegedly got out of his seat, jumped onstage and began joking with Bagg. The subject of Michael Richards came up, but the two comics quickly moved past it. As Dick exited the stage, he suddenly grabbed the mic and shouted at the crowd, “You’re all a bunch of niggers!”

Apparently, Dick, who starred in the 1990s sitcom “News Radio” felt bad after he sobered up:

“I chose to make a joke about a subject that is not funny,” the statement said. “In an attempt to make light of a serious subject, I have offended a lot of people, and I am sorry for my insensitivity. I wish to apologize to Ian, to the club and its patrons and to anyone who was hurt or offended by my remark.”
