Comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the 'extreme left' for impacting the state of comedy, noting that people crave comedy but aren't getting it.
Storied comic Jerry Seinfeld is calling it like he sees it: political correctness has been a detriment to comedy. The ever-candid 'Seinfeld' star unleashed on the 'extreme left,' suggesting that while people still crave comic relief, they can't find it on television. 'Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it so badly and they don't get it,' he said on a recent episode of The New Yorker's Radio Hour.
It used to be that you'd 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. You just expected they'll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight.' 'Well guess what, where is it? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap and people worrying so much about offending other people.
Now they're going to see stand-up comics because they are not policed by anyone. The audience polices us. We know when we're off track. We know instantly. And we adjust to it, instantly,' Seinfeld said. 'But 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.
