DAVID: 'RICHARDS IS A NEW MAN AFTER RACE ROW'

TV legend LARRY DAVID has expressed his support for his embattled former co-star MICHAEL RICHARDS - insisting the comic is a changed man since he was accused of racial abuse.
The Seinfeld co-creator will star alongside the hit show's original cast, including Richards, when a new season of his hugely popular Curb Your Enthusiasm hits U.S. TV later this year (09).
And David loved working with Richards again - insisting he is back to his best after the actor was caught up in a race row following a hate-filled rant against black people in a 2006 stand-up routine.
David explains, "(Richards) is like a new man. He really went through something. He used to be very angry and bitter. He's completely different now. You can see it, and he can feel it. I'm very happy for him."
