Is the 'extreme left' really killing comedy? Jerry Seinfeld thinks so, stirring up controversy with his recent comments. Find out more here!

Jerry Seinfeld, the iconic comedian known for his legendary sitcom, recently stirred up controversy by blaming the 'extreme left' for ruining TV comedy. Seinfeld claimed that political correctness and the 'PC Crap Commandos' are to blame for the decline in humor on television. This bold statement has sparked debate among fans and fellow comedians.

However, many have criticized Seinfeld's stance, arguing that attributing the decline in comedy to wokeness is lazy and inaccurate. They point out that comedy is a dynamic art form that evolves with societal changes, and blaming one political ideology for its demise is shortsighted.

Despite the backlash, Seinfeld remains firm in his belief that the 'extreme left' has had a negative impact on comedy. As he approaches his 70th birthday, the comedian reflects on the changing landscape of showbiz and laments the loss of humor in modern-day entertainment.

In a digital short promoting a Netflix film featuring 'Seinfeld' characters and Pop-Tarts, Seinfeld continues to showcase his comedic prowess and willingness to push boundaries in the face of criticism.
