Every other comedian who's gotten any pushback disappears for a month or two before popping back up with a handful of specials about how oppressed they are, but I haven't seen hide nor hair of Mike since The Incident.

    After Seinfeld ended, Richards has not really been in a lot. Wikipedia lists eight movie or television appearances (most of which are cameos or guest roles) since 1998, when the show ended. This includes main roles in The Michael Richards Show and Kirstie, each of which got cancelled after one season.

    He has, and likely still does, make good money off Seinfeld. If he didn't have the incident, he likely would have had a career like Jason Alexander, where he would do guest or minor roles that brought attention to them, only perhaps less frequently.

      Jason Alexander is pretty alright at least. He's a big lib but definitely has some correct things going on in his head

        With Alexander, what I was getting at was that most of his post-Seinfeld roles have been guest or minor roles. They may not be one-shot or note characters, but they are not who the program is based around. In either case, people recognize Alexander and know who he is.
