Jerry Seinfeld said he regrets comments blaming 'extreme left' for ruining comedy

“I don’t think, as I said, ‘the extreme left’ has done anything to inhibit the art of comedy,” Seinfeld said in an interview with fellow comedian Tom Papa.

Jerry Seinfeld walked back his remarks about the "extreme left" killing comedy in an interview with the "Breaking Bread with Tom Papa" podcast on Tuesday. Conservative pundits such as Fox News' Sean Hannity and YouTube commentator Benny Johnson embraced Seinfeld's previous remarks. "Breaking Bread" host Papa told Seinfeld that it was "refreshing" to hear him say that the shift in culture and young people's preferences was "not our business."
