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.

John Cleese says the same thing, Monty Python would never be allowed by today’s PC climate.
and yet, you voted for everybody and everything that brought us to this point... OK!
Dave Chappelle is a perfect example of the wokeism that is today’s comedy.
Just a few years ago, he was the funniest comic around. Concerts, albums, TV shows and fame. He was a super star.
His comedy did not change. His style remained the same. Yet what happened? Young woke mental midgets found him transphobic and etc. He went from stud to dud.
Successful stand-up comedy in Syria.
Actually All in the Family was supposed to be a left wing slam on the Archie Bunkers of America.
That didn’t happen, did it? Archie gave voice to conservatism. While Meathead remains a national joke to this day.

Seinfeld, Joe Rogan and other comics no longer perform on college campuses because the don’t want to deal with the political correctness.
When Puppet Biden allowed Afghanistan to get taken over by the Taliban, the first thing they did was kill the comedians.

The American leftwing JINO’s created and fed the democrat Frankenstein Monster and now this is the result. /spit
You helped cause this Jerry
I believe you are correct.
Ane he will vote for it in Nov.
As usual, you have a very good point, I’m sure Seinfeld never voted for Reagan or Trump.
True.
True.
“Ya ever wonder about comedians who vote Democrat?”

One of my favorite memories of "All in the Family" was where Archie Bunker said he could solve airline terrorism instantly. "Just allow all passengers to board the plane with guns, no terrorist would dare take over the plane.", or something to that effect. Makes sense when you think about the 2nd Amendment and how that keeps criminals in check.
