Jerry Seinfeld's week of difficult appearances continues, this time in Virginia. As soon as Seinfeld took the stage for a stand-up comedy set at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk on Saturday night, a man in the audience jumped up and yelled, 'Free Gaza,' TMZ reported. The audience immediately began booing the heckler and chanting 'Jerry! Jerry!' as another bystander wrestled the protester into a headlock.
This isn't the first time the 'Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee' host has been interrupted lately — his commencement speech at Duke University was subject to walkouts and chanting by pro-Palestinian students. The controversy around Seinfeld's views stems from his vocal support of Israel — which he visited following the Oct. 7 attacks — and his wife's $5,000 donation to a GoFundMe for pro-Israel counterprotesters at UCLA after a late April protest turned violent.
