WTH? Brian Dunkleman Says Ryan Seacrest Has AIDS??

brian dinkelman

I cannot even believe that I just read over on TMZ. During season 1 of American Idol, Brian Dunkleman (or was it Dinkleman?) was the co-host along with Ryan Seacrest. Just read the following and then we’ll talk:

TMZ 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.

Holy Crap!!!!! WTH is wrong with this guy or anyone who jokes about AIDS. I am sooooo glad he did not remain on the show. This is disgusting and it seems like a shameless ploy to get back into the spotlight. GO AWAY AND STOP SPEAKING IN PUBLIC, BRIAN!!!!

    He was possessed by the ghost of Michael Richards.

    Kim – LOL… uhhh, yeah. That might explain things. Isn’t this horrible?

    It’s just odd to be because SO many people have just snapped on that stage at the laugh factory recently. I’ve been there, it wasn’t a good experience, lol.

    And Im not that wild about Ryan but he doesn’t deserve that!

  4. Jeanne

    That’s terrible! The Laugh Factory used to be well… fun! Geez. When did you go? I’m starting to get jealous. I want to go cry at the “Laugh” Factory too, lol. Isn’t that where Jon Lovitz freaked on Andy Dick recently (’cause he deserved it)?

    Yeah, Ryan drives me a little batty too. He’s also a little crispy for my taste too (his hair, his clothes).

    If you don’t think Brian is funny then you probably have AIDS.

    I think that was so unprofessional of Brian. I mean, really. Totally out of line.

  7. Lauren

    Really.

  8. Jeanne

    Tallfreak, you’re terrible! LOL

    Uh, Lauren, I take it you didn’t like the joke, lol.

    [...] Brian Dunkleman says he wishes Ryan Seacrest had AIDS.  [Idol Stalker] [...]

    A joke about wishing someone has AIDS! It just doesn’t get much funnier than that! I never completely disliked Dunkleman (until now) — I just thought he was completely untalented, which I was right about. The Idol producers generously gave him a second chance, by hiring him as the voice of Idol Rewind. Now he has blown it. His career has gone from 75% over to 100% over, in a flash. Buh-bye, Brian.

    First Brian says his purpose of leaving the show AI was because they were mean? Umm, in the 7 yrs have we heard anything remotely close to someone wishing ill on someone?? Being a regular and loyal watcher, I know the answer is NO. Brian is a bitter old man, who completely destroyed his career by leaving Idol. But I honestly don’t think the show would be as good if Brian was still there.

    you’re all retarded.

    we-todd-edd.

    he is a comedian.

    Comedian’s are supposed to be offensive, racy, and over-the-line because in the end what the hell does it matter.

    So he said some stuff. he does that. he tells JOKES. at a place where people generally TELL JOKES.
    therefore, i would imagine he would be JOKING.

    get a sense of humor, faggots.
