Several conservative pundits praised Jerry Seinfeld this week after he garnered criticism online for suggesting political correctness is killing comedy. The online discourse began after a clip of the comedian, who starred in and co-created the popular '90s sitcom 'Seinfeld,' circulated across social media on Sunday. During an interview with The New Yorker, Seinfeld suggested the era of golden comedy no longer exists.
Fox News host Sean Hannity also reshared the comedian’s remarks in a post on X. During the interview, Seinfeld, who is promoting his upcoming Netflix movie “Unfrosted,” also said there's a new process when it comes to writing jokes. “... 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,' he said.
