Jerry Seinfeld takes on “extreme-left” 

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld called out the “extreme-left” for making sitcoms unfunny during an interview on The New Yorker’s Radio Hour.

Jerry Seinfeld takes on “extreme-left” 

The 70-year-old comedian is generally apolitical, but couldn’t hold back when commenting on the state of comedy today.

“It used to be the end of the day, most people would go, ‘Oh, Cheers is on,’ ‘Oh, Mash is on,’ ‘Oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on,’ ‘All in the Family is on,’” he told the host. 

“You just expected there’ll be some funny stuff on TV.” 

“Well guess what? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme-left and PC crap and people worrying to much about offending other people.”

“When you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups, ‘Here’s our thought about this joke’ . . . Well that’s the end of your comedy,” he said.

Seinfeld is doing the media rounds on his first feature film, Unfrosted, a comedy on Netflix that depicts the competition between Kellogg’s and Post in the 1960s as they battle to create a new morning pastry.

Seinfeld isn’t the only comedic legend to speak out recently. A number of others have criticized the cancel culture crew, including John Cleese, Ricky Gervais, and Dave Chappelle.
