UPDATE: FOX 5 shames former Comix manager into repaying charity that had been stiffed after fund-raiser

A day after FOX 5 aired this "Shame, Shame, Shame" investigation that showed how former Comix manager Michael Palitz had stiffed a charity out of $7,400 it had raised at a fund-raiser at the now-closed comedy club, Palitz wanted to make amends.

In this update that aired tonight, Palitz confessed: "When I saw the piece on the news, I realized it just wasn't me, and it wasn't the type of person I am. I'm a very nice person. I participate in a lot of charities." He added: "The tragedy that the Malone family has endured should not be compounded by the inability of Comix to make good on its obligations." He then handed over a personal check for $10,000.
