Jerry Seinfeld Takes Back Explosive Comments About ‘Extreme Left’ Killing Comedy
Jerry Seinfeld is finally admitting he was wrong to blame the “extreme left” for ruining comedy.
Seinfeld says he “regrets” the comments and is ready to take them back in this exclusive clip from the latest episode of his friend and fellow comedian Tom Papa’s Breaking Bread podcast. “I said that the ‘extreme left’ has suppressed the art of comedy. I did say that. That’s not true,” Seinfeld says before laughing at himself and adding, “It’s not true.”
It was in an extended talk with the New Yorker’s David Remnick to mark his 70th birthday this past April that Seinfeld first made the claim that genuinely funny television has disappeared as “the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people.”
