Train Wrecks
Sick Joke? Bitter Dunkleman Goes After Seacrest

Posted Jul 27th 2007 4:15PM by TMZ Staff

Brian DunklemanTMZ has learned audiences at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood were shocked and awed last week, after axed Season One "American Idol" co-host Brian Dunkleman (memba him? no?) went on a tirade against Ryan Seacrest. Girls behaving badly!

During his set, Dunkleman, now an alleged comedian, poked fun at his stint on "Idol," but when he began making inappropriate comments like, "If wishes came true Ryan Seacrest would have AIDS," the laughter stopped faster than it does at a screening of "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry."

We're told the sad sap went on to spew that Seacrest "probably already has AIDS." Because, really, what's funnier than incurable life-threatening epidemics?! Luckily, once Dunkleman was done with his vicious diatribe, other comics like Godfrey brought life back into the room by actually being funny!

There are currently over 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide.

77. Eh Dunk, Dunk, Dunk...that's sad to turn on him like that.

The only good line of that first season of American Idol: Seacrest says, "Dunkleman--German for "we're live!"

Maybe Dunk is still sulking about that one.

84. Jackass Shmuck. Singin' the envy song and doin' the jealous dance and ya know what, people like Ryan Seacrest and nobody knows who the hell this Dunkleman dude is, so he pretty much sealed his fate. Oh wait, I think being born with (or choosing?) the last name Dunkleman was really the proverbial "nail in the coffin" but this pretty much calls it a day! Comedian prolly not, joinin' the ranks of "Kramer" and whoever else totally frigged himself in a night? YUP! Sucks to be Dunkleman, do-dah do-dah.

85. Sometimes when a show gets sooooo big soooo fast ......... it's best that ego's don't grow as fast. My personal belief if that he is jealous over Ryan Seacrest's incredible success. He should work on improving himself vs. putting Ryan down.

Sad to have him sink so low. Now, it's he's jealous and I pity him.

86. I guess that Ryan Seacrest was a jerk to this kid?
Just because Ryan hit the paycheck jackpot doesn't mean he's
a nice guy.
I find many of his remarks leave me flat or just plain grimacing.
It's a leap to connect him to the topic of aids. We need more inside information
on this one TMZ!

87. oh please - what is it - slow news day harvey? stick to knocking the down the rich and successful hypocrites, at least there's some honor it that. making this poor guy national news for this - you are way more pathetic than he is.

88. The picture says it all, I'm a loser and here's who I'm going to blame... What a pig!? You don't wish that kind of illness on people..."I hope you get cancer!"... Dunkleman's brand of humor is precisely why he's not doing anything...except making a fool of himself at the laugh factory!

89. i agree about keepin it light he tried to make it funny it wasnt.. Build a bridge ,and get over it

90. Apparently someone doesn't watch enough South Park. It was announced a few seasons ago that AIDS is finally funny.

You know what is an epidemic?

TMZ kissing Paris Hilton's ass to get favored coverage.
