Jerry Seinfeld Blames the Death of Sitcoms on ‘P.C. Crap’
The star of the hugely popular sitcom,Seinfeld, as well as one of the most famous comedians of all time,Jerry Seinfeld made headlines recentlywith his condemnation of modern comedy and the influence of “the extreme left.”
“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. 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. With certain comedians now, people are having fun with them stepping over the line, and us all laughing about it. But again, it’s the stand-ups that really have the freedom to do it because no one else gets the blame if it doesn’t go down well. He or she can take all the blame [themselves.]”
