"Yeah," he admitted before taking a deep breath. "I so apologize to [Miley], and this is sincere. I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don't mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far."

Over the weekend, Jamie said Miley should, "make a sex tape and grow up," during his Sirius satellite radio show, the Associated Press reported.

The actor was also reportedly heard saying: "Who is Miley Cyrus? The one with all the gums? She need to get a gum transplant!"

Jamie explained his comments were part of the show's format and style.

"I have a radio show…We're really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn't mean it maliciously. You know I'm a comedian. You know my heart," he continued.
