- Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has slammed the “extreme left” for being detrimental to comedy on Saturday.
Seinfeld appeared on the New Yorker Radio Hour podcast alongside host David Remnick.
While on the podcast, Seinfeld spoke about his new film ‘Unfrosted’ and the changing norms seen in modern comedy.
During the discussion of how comedy has changed, Seinfeld spoke about the need and importance of comedy in television.
“Well, guess what? Where is it? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and PC crap and people worrying so much about offending other people,” he said.
He's just so right about this matter. 💯
I see what you did there.
Yep. Right in more ways than one! Bless his heart. 😉👍🏼💯❤️
The whole WOKE thing is psuedo righteousness.
It’s actually pure self righteousness and intellectual laziness
There is no woke thing, the stuff is on streaming mostly because the religious right thinks words like crap are swear words and they make network television unwatchable. It isn't the left burning books and threatening teachers and librarians.
It’s the new religion. Conform!

Good to see not every movie or TV celebrity is Woke. Jerry is also like Kelsey Grammar of "Frasier" who speaks out against Woke, too.
Jerry is a 70yo out of touch rich boomer. Of course he isn't "woke."
Is wokness and extreme left the same? Because they are also not defending his genocide support.
yea right , both made combined billions off the PC transition, and the masses applaud their virtue
Not just comedy, wokeness is destroying everything.
Its more than just that. Every TV show now is a "reality" TV show. Television and movies faded to black alongside Tony Soprano.
No its not. Sorry you can't tell a racist or homophobic joke anymore without someone defending themselves. And FYI all of those sitcoms are still on every night. They again, just aren't filled with racially fueled jokes or homophobic behavior.
Again? I think the only ones who are really upset are the ones who used to sell these horrible jokes in the first place.
@@dirpyjosh yes it is, jokes are just a joke. Get over yourself!
So if you're not "woke," you must be unconscious, right? Yeah, it shows.
Politicians are the new comedians keeping us entertained with their clown shows.
TV in the US is PC,LBGT,CRAP
Who watches TV?
And EVERY commercial shows a white woman married to a black man ... what's that all about?
More and more out there are finally realizing how awful this PC crap is. Woke. Shut it down.
exactly which pc crap are talking about? And what edgy stuff could a white bread comedian like Jerry be banned from using?
Complaining about not being able to find 40+ year old programs on television despite them being available is an issue with ignorance or personal mental health. Jerry is old and sheltered and obviously doesn't know how to navigate technology to find exactly what he thinks has been "removed"
This is the equivalent of saying "using a remote control is PC woke crap"
@@timothyburke6949 PC Crap is apparently the same thing as Jerry not knowing about the existence of MeTV hosting the 40+ year old TV programs hes having trouble finding in his old age.
@@timothyburke6949 I agree that Jerry is white bread but do you really think that they'd let people like Robin, Rickles, Dice Clay, Pryor, Kinison, Hicks, Lenny or Groucho do their routines and characters now?
@@rft2001 No
This Sad PC Crap began after the year 2008.
It began with “SJW’s”
@@mikeylove1688 SJW's existed before 2008 but it got out of control after 2008.
It began long before that. I remember it in college in the 80s.
@@mikeylove1688 abolitionists were considered SJW's for their times. Abe Lincoln was "woke"
Hahaha.
If Jerry started his career in today's times he wouldn't get rich😂
Probably wouldn't have been able to do the "Bubble Boy" or "Master of your domain" episodes, today. Truly pathetic.
@@johns7530 Same with The Outing, and Cigar Store Indian.
If elephants could fly, umbrellas would be useless when they relieve themselves.
Woke killed comedy.
lol, okay grandpa

@@4merlyknownaz That's all you got? An ageist insult? Pathetic.
@@rft2001 okay grandma, you thinking its an insult is projection of your real feelings over your virtue signaling attempt
Are there even comedians who are left? I haven’t ever found them funny
There's a bunch in this movie.
Most of them are left including Seinfeld, just not far left. Rob Schneider is about the only one on the right.
@@velarith Shane Gillis is an open Trump supporter that just hosted SNL. So much for that "PC left woke controlled media" narrative huh?
** Thank goodness for Dave Chapelle and Ricky Gervais **
@@belinda8044 Both of them are progressive as well.
he wouldn't cry about a stupid meme of himself
Look at the cast of that movie. Melissa McCarthy: Woke! Jim Gaffigan: Woke! Amy Schumer: The list of what she is goes on and on, but the word funny doesn't come up.
That's one of the things about any mindless trend, you never think you're one of the people participating in it. "I'm not one of them. I agree with the sensible parts, but not the stupid extremes" - it's always somebody else's fault. These people don't understand that agreeing on the sensible parts is what _enables_ the stupid extremes to happen; trends are the product thousands of people individually making the same judgment without thinking about the consequences, and thus making that one way of looking at the world so banal and accepted that the extremists now have a platform to act crazy. That's how zealots get power, via the slippery slope; they build the seemingly innocent homogenized, lowest-common-denominator ideas first, then springboard off of that.
Can you laugh at anything that isn't politically aligned with you?
Comedians have no material left due to the left woke. Comedians are now just plain unfunny & boring, except for Ricky Gervais who ridicules woke.
Bill Burr has no problem as he knows people complaining about "wokeness" were the same ones 30 years ago calling it "PC" nothings changed other than the amount of people blaming "wokeness" for them not making as much money as the think they should.
Woke has not won over comedy or comedians, they just get a lot of criticism. Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle are funny as hell, and call out bullshit unabashedly at times. Thin skinned hyper sensitive people who can't take a joke and whine about everything not only do not make the world a better place, they can ruin all the fun in life. Anyway I feel where you are coming from and the negative woke influences out there, but don't give up on comedians!
I've been practicing xylophone.
hahaha
Amen, Jerry. Contemporary reality is suffocating. It's awful.
Yes, soon comedy will have to include material respectful to Gazans ... there will be commercials with white woman married to Palestinians selling dish suds.
Jerry is 100% right, Comedians should be able to make fun of all people of all races and all religions and make fun of themselves at the same time, push it to the edge!
As long as they aren't Jewish 😂😂😂
Listen if jerry saying this and he clearly knows his game listen to many bleeding hearts doing harm thinking their doing good.
listen, if an old man says wokeness is the reason he cant find a 40+ year old television program then it must be accurate despite evidence showing otherwise.
It will get to the point you have to laugh before the punchline or you will offend someone
I agree with him. Seinfeld will always bring a great nostalgic vibe when I used to come back from my English course and watch the show with my older sister. I had a great time in the 90s. 😊
I had no idea Barry B Benson could play the marimba this well
Where can I watch the extended version from which this clip was taken?
High criticism from a super edgy comedian like Jerry, the Lenny Bruce of the senior home circuit. He must not understand how his hard core jokes about cereal and superman might have trouble getting through the filter. The dudes a billionaire, he wants a tax cut, so it's jump on the nonsense bandwagon of wokeness instead of actually attacking the right wing book banners. Maybe his time would be better spent whining about how teaching the facts of the civil war is now somehow woke.
seriously. His complaint here is that "wokeness" is the reason he doesn't know MeTV exists. All those programs he thinks aren't available are quite easy to find and watch. This is virtue signalling for his wallet.
Well said Jerry
Comedy MUST continue to get a pass !
Modern Court Jesters - in every sense
Spot on 😁
He's correct, Jamie Foxx said the same thing a few years back and RDJ acknowledged that Tropic Thunder would never happen these days. It's depressing and hopefully a major shift in culture is coming before the decade is over but who knows.
Seinfeld 2024
Thank for speaking up Jerry!
Basically What Actor #JerrySeinfeld is talking about is Freedom of Speech Which has always been part of America 🇺🇸
Remnick is part of the problem, Jerry. But he pretends not to be.
I wonder if Mr. Seinfeld would be able to handle "Game Changer"?
> complains about woke
> makes a movie with Amy Schumer, painfully unfunny & woke, related to another woke Schumer
>complains about not being able to watch 40+ year old television programming
>likely so sheltered and removed from basic society and technology that he doesn't even know about MeTV or how streaming works
@4merlyknownaz Are you a biden voter or are you so severely awwtistic that you don't understand he's talking about how those shows couldn't be made today without liberal freaks like you trying to cancel them? 🙂
He’s never been that funny but he’s also never been more right.
Obviously you haven't watched his material of success 🙄
Your right his a dud.
Mr. Seinfeld has an insight and moral clarity that is sadly lacking in most of Hollywood.
Respect to Jerry for speaking out!
hi Jerry, comedians needed for you to say this 8 years ago, before the pc mob destroyed their careers and livelihoods, but I guess now is time to sell your movie
I love that you think comedians of today care at all about a 70 year old rich Seinfelds opinion of comedy. They dont.
Saturday Night Live is a perfect example where Lorne Michaels failed Comedy in favor of his biased Politics...and listen now...for the Laugh Track overdubbed their "Live" Planted Audience. Seriously, embarrassing and offends our sensibilities as educated consumers of comedy, society, etc. F-SNL
Let's not forget that Jerry Seinfeld still supported and made apologies for the racist, his friend Michael Richards (Kramer) after he made that very racists comments on stage and some people, obviously on the left held it against him for being friends and socializing with a racist. He didn't like it then when most people, again on the left called him out about it. Because the majority on the right are racists and wouldn't call him out. Now he's still (appropriately at the right racists time in America) upset with the left. It's obvious that a lot of comedians, left wing podcasters and news channels are grifting towards the right because they pay extremely well to here some on the left say things that they want to hear. Sometimes and some of it racists.
A cult is a f**ked up wonderful thing 😂
I heard no lies!
Funny thing. Jerry and I have the same birthday , 4/29…. And I just ran across this post 🎂
Happy birthday 🎉
Well my respect for Jerry just went up.
He hits the nail smack on the head .
God I wish our sky news was owned by the same people, it's absolutely cultish over in the UK
nothing cultish about Rupert Murdoch huh?
@@4merlyknownaz Better than the CBS-Viacom pricks at this point, would rather it was independent than Murdoch owned
Absolutely right. Gen Z is so overwrought with political correctness that humor can't exist for them. Pitiful. But thank you Jerry for 'Unfrosted!' I just watched it and loved it. Of course, too retro for Gen Z to appreciate, but YOU know your audience and that's what matters.
Jerry is correct. People need to phucking relax and not take themselves so seriously.
A Camel was a horse before a committee !
Funny is not a crime!! Neither is skateboarding! 🤙
Happy 70th birthday, Jerry!! God bless you!! Stay unafraid!!
I beg to differ! Frasier was the best and why? It was woke and hysterical
If youre looking for strictly mainstream comedy. Then thats on you lol While you have IASIP. 16 season and no awards. They touch on subjects Seinfeld wouldnt dare if given the opportunity.
Thank god we still have jimeoin making us all laugh! Even makes the woke brigade laugh.
In these dark and miserable times we need more poofta jokes, not less.
Now it’s stupid “reality” or game shows.
Seinfeld is so detached from reality he thinks comedians can't be funny anymore because of a "woke" chokehold on the comedian community. I've never heard more vulgarity, racial commentary, social satire, political rants and generally anti-social "jokes" from stand-up comics and TV comedy shows than we have now. (Most of them not funny, so the real problem is unfunny comedians, not a woke agenda.) I guess poor Jerry just can't handle being called out for a lame, reactionary comment about the "woke" cancelation he believes is so toxic. Comedians like Jerry were not funny in stand-up with stale jokes before, but now he's complaining on behalf of other comedians? It sure isn't Jerry S presenting jokes worthy of canceling.
You can still find many good comedians here on youtube
But it's never been funnier with guys like Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr now, LMAO
Seinfeld was never funny and he's been exposed so he can't handle it, because he knows he's been exposed as unintelligent
AMEN
That's why South Park, Curb, always sunny exist and are doing great.
Jerry hating on "woke" comedy is weird considering it's less than 18 years old.
that's why he's the GOAT.
.
I’m with Jerry…🫶🏼✨💖
Sounds like he isn’t funny anymore. 🤷♀️
Jerry wears a Breitling
He definitely a conservative. 👍
Like many in this world, I don't think he's strictly left or right with his humour or politics. Many individuals can be on different parts of the political spectrum depending on the issue. The truth is the left is not always right and the right is not always wrong.
Actually, Jerry, like nearly all of the entertainment personalities, are Democrat supporters, sadly.
No, wokies are just uptight pious types. Classic liberalism is loose and makes fun of everyone. Groucho, Pryor, Hicks, Lenny, Carlin, Rickles were all liberals in the classic sense.
Yet he works with woke people (his latest movie is full of them) , friends with them, donates to them, votes for them
its almost as if people are using "anti-woke" to virtue signal and simply take your money....hmmmmmm
Comedy died, with Carlin.
I agree with what he’s saying but Jerry Seinfeld is the most unfunny comedian I’ve ever seen in my life.
Finally
Proud of u jerry
What in the hell took you so long? Wasn't impressed with you then steal not impressed with you now!
Reading the comments here, I see where all the incels get their news. LOL
too much text to read in this video. im out.
If you think comedy is ruined, it just shows you dont know anything about modern comedy. Seinfeld is just upset nobody cares about him anymore.
You ok? Need to see a therapist and address narcissism?

What a Shvantz - Look literally Every Hilarious Character from Archie Bunker to Eric Cartman is Nothing more than a Example of Right Wing Bigotry - The Humor is the Fact these People are so Incredibly Lost Socially - So without "WOKENESS" Throughout the Ages there'd be no Comedy - So Blame the Editors that's Fine but Not the Fact People want to be Treated Decently - You'd Think a Jewish Guy would Realize this but, Hey the Whole Palestine Thing Corrects me on That
You know what's suppose to be politically correct? Being pro Israel. You know what's not politically correct, being antiemetic, which apparently is what all pro Palestinians are being labeled as. So my question is, if you don't care for this "PC crap," then what do you really think of the displacement of Gazans and Palestine as a whole?
I never liked his comedy never thought he was funny but he is dead right about this.
The Left did ruin mainstream comedy….
the same left that just had an open Trump supporter host a major mainstream comedy program ?
One of my favourite comedy shows that ran from 1995 to 2004 I think is/was King of Queens, That show would NEVER be allowed to go to air today, well not in a country hounded by the woke rats. Thankfully I have em all.
Why the heck a childish family friendly TV show like that wouldn't be allowed today?!
@@wagnerarao4756 Because it has a lot of gay jokes like Deacons son, Spencer & danny being called gay on many occasions and even Doug considering anything he doesn't like as being gay..hey I have no problems but the way these wokes idiots act, they would have called for the show to be cancelled...At least by having all the shows myself, I can always dream about Carrie...aaaahh! She's prruty! 🤣😍😍
Seinfeld is not funny ,at all & never has been .😂👎🏼
The show was funny. Some of the situations were hilarious
SMH.🤦🏻♀️ Is that how we cope? By pretending Jerry Seinfeld and his Iconic Show was never funny? Is this what the Woke have to do? Erase History to justify its madness!? My only problem with Jerry. What took him soo long to speak out?! This has been a problem for near to 10 years now. It reached its zenith in 2016!
@@yggdrasil9039Larry David was the one behind that and for the success of Seinfeld.
Yet the guy was making a million bucks a show... he must have sucked.
@@livestock9722 He was indeed 🙄& Jlo is coming up on being a billionaire with absolutely no talent whatsoever , but that's what it is with some who make deal's with -👹😈- PERIOD!.
Seinfeld wasn't funny to begin with, and neither were the shows he mentioned.
There there petal. Go have a lie down.
What are you talking about? Seinfeld is the legend and still funny to this day.
True.
I've always preferred Married with children or Mama's family to any of the shows he mentioned
Really? I’ve watched some Seinfeld repeats and found them funny.
Why do you step in the the dialogue such disso behaviour!
if im in a depressive mood i put on Seinfeld
