Jerry Seinfeld took aim at the "extreme left" and political correctness, which he said have ruined television comedy.
During an appearance on David Remnick's "The New Yorker Radio Hour" the comedian expressed his discontent while discussing how "serious aspects of the world" affect him and his comedy.
"Nothing really affects comedy," he said, according to the Daily Caller. "People always need it. They need it so badly and they don't get it. It used to be you would go home at the end of the day — most people would go, Oh, 'Cheers' is on, Oh, 'M*A*S*H' is on, Oh, 'Mary Tyler Moore' is on, 'All in the Family' is on.

A small correction, Jerry. What you refer to as the extreme left is the mainstream left.
It was fine when other people were censored by the PC crowd. They never expected it to happen to them.
If Jerry ever voted for a Democrat he is part of the problem.
It’s good he’s saying this.
He is a day late and a dollar short.
But better late than never and every dollar helps.

Totalitarianism/conformity/cancel culture etc.....and creativity do not mix.
They destroyed comedy, they are not funny in the slightest and they can’t meme worth a crap.
The creative artists being 95% Dems is one of the most idiotic things currently taking place.

And Mel Brooks says Blazing Saddles could never get made today either. Well screw him and Seinfeld too. Clueless idiots!
This isn’t about not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings. This is the actual theocracy that they’ve been building for decades...a Satanic theocracy that turns God’s truths on their head and foments chaos and division....while fooling all the idiot secularists that the religious Christians were the ones who were on the verge of turning America into a theocracy.
Back in the 20s and 30s there were religious Christians who called jazz devil music and thought Hollywood movies.. featuring the likes of Garbo and Valentino..were too sensual and provocative.
Yet somehow these Christian crusaders were not able to prevent the progression 20 years later to Marilyn Monroe.. Brigitte Bardot and Elvis Presley. Nor were they able to prevent the progression 20 years after that to KISS and Linda Lovelace.
Yet it was in the late 70’s that we were first told that the religious right were right on the verge of bringing back chastity belts. And you know why so many people believed them? Because the Boomers were a captive audience for hating on all the squares with old fashioned values. It was easy to convince them that their mere existence posed a threat.
But even in the late 70s, there was no gay marriage, the word transgender had not been invented yet, barely anyone had tattoos, people bought dogs for their children, instead of buying dogs to replace children, and most businesses were closed on Christmas and Easter.
Yet after an entire century of being unable to stem the tide of cultural permissiveness and decadence, the likes of Rob Reiner and James Carville assure us that those Christian Nationalists are closer than ever to enforcing this Christian theocracy that Time and Newsweek were first warning us about 50 years ago.
Which brings us back to Mel Brooks and Jerry Seinfeld. No doubt both of these liberals went along with all of that propaganda. To the point that they don’t even recognize the actual theocracy that prevents Blazing Saddles from being made today. For 2 very funny guys, they are completely blind deaf and dumb to the world around them.
Excellent post.
