Julia Louis-Dreyfus Defends Comedy Against Political Correctness Claims

Julia Louis-Dreyfus strongly refutes the notion that political correctness is detrimental to comedy, labeling such claims as 'bullshit' in a recent interview on the 'On with Kara Swisher' podcast. She argues that the current social climate makes comedy more interesting and ripe, emphasizing that comedy's inherent riskiness and potential to offend are what make it enjoyable. This stance contrasts with her 'Seinfeld' co-star Jerry Seinfeld, who believes political correctness and the 'extreme left' have harmed televised comedy. Louis-Dreyfus views complaints about political correctness as a 'red flag,' suggesting that being sensitive to social issues does not preclude being funny.
