Jerry Seinfeld ‘Regrets’ Saying the ‘Extreme Left’ Killed Comedy: ‘It’s Not True … You Can’t Say Certain Words About Groups. So What?’


Jerry Seinfeld says it's not true that the extreme left and P.C. culture killed comedy.

Jerry Seinfeld is walking back polarizing comments he made to The New Yorker in April while promoting his Netflix movie “Unfrosted.” The comedian went viral for saying TV comedy had been killed by the extreme left and P.C. He appeared on the latest episode of his friend and fellow comedian Tom Papa’s “Breaking Bread” podcast and said he “regrets” blaming P.C. His longtime co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus appeared on the “On With Kara Swisher” podcast and pushed back against the idea that comedy has in any way suffered due to a changing social landscape that favors P.C.
