Jerry Seinfeld Retracts Comedy Decline Remarks
Jerry Seinfeld has retracted earlier comments attributing the decline of comedy to the 'extreme left' and political correctness. Initially, during an April interview with The New Yorker, Seinfeld claimed these factors were stifling comedy, citing concerns over offending audiences. However, in a recent appearance on the 'Breaking Bread with Tom Papa' podcast, Seinfeld expressed regret, stating his remarks were not true. He emphasized that comedy, like champion skiing, involves navigating cultural changes and adapting humor accordingly. Seinfeld also clarified that he never stopped performing at colleges due to students being overly politically correct. His retraction follows criticism from peers, including former co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who argued that being sensitive to certain issues is beneficial.
