- Sky News host Rita Panahi has reacted to Comedian Jerry Seinfeld slamming the “extreme left” for ruining comedy.
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has come under fire this week for calling out lefties losing it, saying wokeness is to blame for the lack of quality sitcoms on TV.
Seinfeld appeared on the New Yorker Radio Hour podcast alongside host David Remnick, speaking 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,” Seinfeld said.
“I do wonder whether Seinfeld the program would even be made today or would it be considered too risque, too white, too heteronormative perhaps,” Ms Panahi said.
Jerry Seinfeld is 100% correct.
ALWAYS SUNNY ..LONGEST COMEDY ON TV ..STILL MORE T COM 🤯🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Comedy just needs to be funny
@@beerskittlez9503Always sunny has bowed to Disney! they lost Fox backing around 2017. They tell you be confortable, nothing will change, and two years in you have to change. Guess who voices Fred in the Scooby-less, Scooby-Doo Velma?
It's not the culture as much as it is the people at the tippy top of these corporations and managerial positions themselves being Woke as F 😂 they aren't caving to 5% while making 95% angry without themselves agreeing to this stuff! Its not even about money as much as it is about pushing this crap! It's not Culture as much as it is modern woke elitism.
@@martinepstein3332 "So, that's what we have been missing... Let's fix this right now! Let's consult Seinfeld, Gervais etc."
Said no woke people ever, sadly...
We simply need to stop allowing the offended college aged _children_ dictate what is allowed to air on TV.
Tell that to corporations
@@Maxaker We need to tell thim with our $$$.
The Networks cater to the younge4 crowd.
@@darrengann7777 Do they not realize that other people spend money too? Probably more money than the group they're attempting to placate.
Theres plenty of fully grown children woke communist ah's ruining countries and everything they touch too.
Largely in the schools and unis indoctrinating (and grooming. Sexually. Yeah thats not even an exaggeration crazy enough) kids and those punkass young woke traitor adults .
The ol marxist "long march through the institutions" at play.
And for some wild reason people LET THEM. 🤦♂️
Do people even realize these creepos have left every nation theyve infested in utter ruins atop the mass graves of its people and hundreds and hundreds of millions if people dead?
If so why tf would they tolerate them ?
If no, why th not?
Kids today are taught to be offended. I grew being taught to have a thick skin.
Nothing that an economic depression and world war can't cure. Biden and his ilk have us on that path.
🎯🎯🎯
kids today view victimhood as a goal.
They're taught to be wusses.
I’m wondering how and what kids are taught today.. This mental illness is crap is RIDICULOUS.. When I hear about the covid lockdowns and how kids are mentally unstable now NOT WANTING TO GO TO SCHOOL NOW.. and the moron parents letting them stay home.. it looks like the kids are running the place.. My kids loved lockdowns BECAUSE I did.. and they had such a good time.. and they wouldn’t dare say they couldn’t go to school now.. I would laugh.. 😂😂 I agree, I taught my kids how to deal with bullies.. and this crap about online bullies demanding the tech owners DO SOMETHING to stop it when the easiest thing is to teach your kids how to handle it.. the world is INSANE AND EVERYONE WANTS EVERYONE ELSE TO CHANGE TO PLACATE THEM..
What about all the shows about all black families???? No whites there….
Exactly, and the TV commercials with all black families too. When I first saw them I thought that I was in Nigeria.
I disagree. Black shows all had a token white guy. When George Jefferson moved on up he had a white neighbor, with a black wife, of course, lol.
@@Despiser25 but the vote shies were all black on purpose. Which I saw as positive because ai could not care about human color.
@@shalevedna AI is learning from the nastiest subhuman Socialists to have ever existed. We are going to be playing "woke" Socialist games forever...
Cosby kinda proved Hollyweird corrupts.
THANKYOU JERRY SEINFELD...THIS WORLD HAS LOST THE PLOT...
Jerry and Elaine helped HIDE the plot to Socialized America..
🤔always sunny🙃
It couldn't be made today because our young N*zis would be furious that all of the stars are J*wish.
Comedy is under attack because tyrants don't like being made fun of.
Comedy just needs to be funny
The attack is against the truth, and the best comedy is funny because it is true. SNL is no longer funny because 90% of the material is blatantly false and too many subjects/people are sacred cows to them. On a plus note, my son understands that if a girl likes SNL, it is time to move on. You can't fix stupid.
@@robertslugg8361 best comedy is the one that makes you laugh
Could it be that they just don't like to laugh?
Marxism 101
Seinfeld is still on reruns for over 20 yrs. Generations of people love that show. That was true comedy; still is.
..& NOWWWW ..always sunny ..
I didn't even see Seinfeld when it was originally aired, but I watch reruns now almost every night. The show was produced from 1989 to 1998 so some of the episodes are 35 years old! They're still hilarious. Last night was one of my favorites with the interlocking stories of the doll that looks like George's mother, Kathy Griffin interfering, the Maestro and the 3 Tenors poster, George's mother walking in on George's father, Kramer, and the Maestro all pant-less and playing billiards ... brilliant writing.
@@musicloverchicago437I loved George’s revelation of doing the OPPOSITE of his instincts lead to good decisions.
It may be in re-runs, but there will be a time when some eps start to get edited for content, or are no longer available on streams. I make it a point to keep original copies of shows on a hard disk. One complaint and either an ep is gone or completely edited for the stream. I am in the process of collecting all of the episodes of "Our Gang" and "The Little Rascals." Whoopie Goldberg (aka Caryn Johnson) serves one purpose these days. If a DVD begins with her making a disclaimer, then the following content is important and should be preserved. Ditto Rocky and Bullwinkle, if only for making fun of Canadians. ;-)
100% right. Look how low SNL has fallen.
The Cosby Show, Sanford and Son, What's Happening, The Jefferson's....where are all the white people??
Good Times, Fat Albert, Roots, Family Matters, 227, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, A Different World, My Wife and Kids, The Jamie Foxx Show, Martin, Diff'rent Strokes, House of Payne, In Living Color, Everybody Hates Chris...where are all the white people??
Out of all of those, only 'What's Happening' was not obsessed with race. I love my 70's shows because they were funny as hell, but every Norman Lear show was off-the-charts liberal, and anti-white, and 'One Day At A Time' was straight up feminazi propaganda. But, I will say that he at least had the balls to make fun of the guilty-white-liberal (think 'Maude') as much as he made fun of Archie Bunker. And All In The Family was the greatest tv show ever, IMO.
Good times is being remade only more woke.
They usually had their token, just so they could use the word honky lol
If you review "Sanford and Son" episodes you will notice that any white person included in the show is cast as a villain or a stupid. person, etc.
No young person could watch stuff from the 80's and 90's without losing their already fragile minds.
You should watch reaction videos of these younger types when they see Al Bundy giving insults on Married with Children.
That's why they call for the cancellation and 're-imagining' of older artwork.
@@kellik5453 is that what they plan to do to history as well? It doesn't matter how you hide it anyway, the architects of the universe know all our sins.
Watch Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in "48 Hours," a hit movie of the 80s. The "F-word" is used so much--by Black and White people alike--a modern audience would lose their minds .
@@magistrumartium its like Noel Gallagher said in an interview about this safe space woke culture...uh f*** take me back to the 90s.
It's not just destroyed comedy. Look at the state of the film industry and the crap they release.
Rehashed garbage.
They're now destroying aaa video games
Comedy is anything but these days
The fact there is a word such as "Heteronormative" offends the living crap out of me.
"This person is emotionally unstable and I don't want them working at my Home Depot."😂
I laughed way too hard at this.
4:03 that reminds me of North Korea footage when the previous dictator died and everyone in the room was competing in “crying harder” and everyone knew they’d be dead if they dare not no “grieve publicly”
Mr. Seinfeld, you are absolutely correct. Damn shame these idiots have ruined TV. Thank God I have your DVDs and cable has your shows so we can continue to laugh.
And music!!
He is right, and he even took part in it. He just woke up from being too woke.
True BUT he's Jewish, so there's a 96% chance he'll vote for Biden anyway!
Ahem. What makes you think every Jew wants to vote for Biden? I’ve never voted for him and never will.
@@clevelandplonsey7480 After 8 years of Obozo, (who really didn't do too much for the Jewish community) 96% of registered Jewish voters voted Hillary. Look it up. And having been born in New York and raised in Miami, I know a few Jewish people. I have heard, "We're Jewish, and we only vote Democrat." more than once. It always blows my mind. WHY?
Exactly!
@@user-gr6vr5bz8q "96% or registered Jewish voters" That seems to be either a fabricated number, or you are referring to 96% of Jewish voters registered as Democrats.
One way or the other, like myself, many Jews used to vote Democrat when Democrats favored democracy, and Liberals embraced true liberal views. LIke me, also, many Jews have abandoned the Democratic party, since it became neo-marxist.
I noticed the guy slamming Seinfeld didn't bring up how 'The Jeffersons' was mostly a Black cast and 'The Cosby Show' was mostly a Black cast, 'Sanford and Son' and the so many other shows which had mostly Black actors.
NOBODY cared : What mattered was the quality of the show.
None were focused on being non-binary, either...🤔
And white America watched all of them every week . Funny is funny , political correctness is the polar opposite. You can't poke fun at anyone or anything, even yourself so it seems. That would mean you had flaws you might need some work to better yourself. That would hurt somebody's feelings . And we can't have that can we? Someone might get offended and hurt themselves. A joke in itself is not offensive, you have to make the conscious decision to be offended . That puts the ball in your court whether to be offended or not is up to you .
Gerry Seinfeld is a genius. If you think American sitcoms have gone to shit, what about British sitcoms. They were great back in the day.
I stream those old British sitcoms, with the subtitles enabled of course!
I used to watch Keeping Up With Appearances reruns on US public TV, that was a hilarious show.
I really miss Monty Python, Benny Hill, Faulty Towers and a host of others.
How about _Absolutely Fabulous_ …Truly one of the funniest comedies - British or American - ever. And I don’t think they could show even ONE episode today.
J Seinfeld said - When your joke has to go threw 5 committees to be approved you lost your comedy / country. Both words fit.
My freedom of speech doesn't end, because of another's hurt feelings, just saying.
Amen!
Imagine the 1980s comedy show "Married with Children."
Stephen Colbert thinks dancing around with giant syringes is comedy.
As soon as the Taylor Swift clip started playing I got a daddy-daughter gift ad. 😂 I dont have any kids.
I never liked Taylor Swift, just a spoiled brat upset with bad choices she has made in men. A song or two like that might have been ok but every song is the same background. Alantis Morissette was another like this, Taylor only went farther because she was cute.
Theyre all just following Madonna, and we see where Madonna ended. She was part of this baby diddler mass, then turns in to an alien and adopts a bunch of young black kids and boys, who no doubt are forced to go to town on her.
Like a Halmark movie in songs. All the same only different actors.
"Cute"? On her Victoria's Secret special, the models had more curves than her.
Shes just another pysop
@@ahhamartin so she is straight?
Seinfeld has the freedom to speak his mind, as he and his family will be wealthy for the rest of his life. I think that we would hear more of the type of sanity he expresses, if more people were like him and didn't need to worry about being cancelled. There are others, like Musk, and Rowling, and more. Too few can do this, but hopefully they will pave the way for others to speak up.
The more we lie to ourselves the more we will be offended. Nothing but the truth will set us free to live and laugh at ourselves / mankind again.
Taylor swift is just another elite who came from money
BS. She has actual talent. Unlike Jerry. You're confusing Lisa Pressley with Taylor Swift.
@@Despiser25 She has no talent whatsoever
@@riaan2540Just because you dont like her talent doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You sound like any typical jealous millennial with the IQ of a rat...
I don't doubt that she has business/marketing talent, but her father gave the record label $200k to produce her first albums. You can have financial success, if your daddy can buy it.
@@Despiser25 Taylor is not a talent. There's people that sing Karaoke in their local pub that would put her to shame
Jerry Seinfeld is right and AL BUNDY agrees.
Those Britney Spears shots are disgusting.
All in the family would be cancelled instantly
Nah they would just get rid of Archie and everybody would just agree with Meathead all the time.
We don't need to stop offending people. I haven't.
Great show. People don't know how to laugh at themselves nowadays. People wear their feelings on their selves way to much.
He’s not only accurate but truthful.
Mel Brooks said it best in the 80's film To Be or Not to Be. He made it with his wife and made fun of the Nazis.
When Mel Brooks was interviewed after the Producers was released, and questioned if showing NAZIs was a good idea. He responded with" The NAZIs made a lot of money from the Jews, so I'm going to make a lot of money from the NaZIs."
He also wrote in the April 2018 issue of Vanity Fair "Comedy is dead, and it's political correctness that killed it."
WHAT DID DISNEY DO TO BRITTANY??? That's not mental illness that's TRAUMA.
They destroyed her, but she allowed it to some extent. I'd hate to hear what *really* has happened to her over the years.
Late night talk shows started this crap
Government funded
Social media had a hand in it as well.
It is easy to change it. Just ignore it
He never used the word woke in his statements.
I don't remember white people complaining there weren't enough white characters on shows like Good Times or Sanford and Son, Cosby show, etc.
Are those people listening to TS, trying to not puke?? That would make sense😂
I remember when Seinfeld was PRO-Biden and he told everyone that we were stupid for thinking New York was a disaster!
Exactly! F Gerry and his smugness. Can’t stand him.
Really?
When was this?
@@JeddieT 2021 When people started leaving New York because of Biden's administration procedures during the pandemic.
She called it “Tim Allen’s Tool Time.” It was called Home Improvement and Tool Time was his show. Calling it Tool Time goes to show how it was imbedded into our memories.
Wilson would look over the fence 👀 and tell us collectively that a joke is a joke and try not to get too offended when you laugh at everything else because eventually it will be your turn to be the butt of the joke.
I'm yet to see or hear a funny woke comedian.
But what is the deal with airplane food?
I'm not going to be lectured about "PC crap" by some raging anti-dentite!
Because Seinfeld is tooth-phobic? Do elucidate.
@@clevelandplonsey7480 Watch the "Seinfeld" episode "The Yada Yada". All will be made clear.
Ohhhhh haha I take it back
@@clevelandplonsey7480 😉
He broke bad due to anti-dentistism.
A Seinfeld where kramer is gay, Elaine is black, George is disabled and Jerry is a non-binary within a spectrum sounds like comedic gold!
If Seinfeld was made today, the only straight white guy would be the “no soup for you!” man.
The soup nazi?

Agree with Jerry…✨💖🇨🇦
DEI could lead to horrible circumstances if airline pilots and surgeons are chosen due to it. It doesn't work at any level.
Forget the pilots, look at what they tried to do at Air Traffic Control which was just exposed.
US medical schools and the airline industry have lowered requirements for entry. It's already on the way!
@@kellik5453 Back in the 80's they had already instituted summer refresher courses at the medical school. The scoring for National Boards was out of their hands, so they could "pass" all of the students that they wanted, but whether those students went on to an internship/residency was out of their hands. Think about it, do you really want surgery done by the person who needed 30 more minutes to finish their exam? I have considered moving recently, but that would involve giving up my current cardiology team, and I was not to impressed by the available services in the place I was considering for relocation. And this wasn't just the Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins snobbery talking. ;-)
Don't be fooled, this has also been going on the other way round:
A few years ago, Japan had a major scandal as universities, including prestigious Tokyo Medical School, manipulated the test scores in the entrance exams - they gave the men a few extra points so they always scored higher than the women - to keep the percentage of women getting accepted into medical school low.
Like WTF?!?!
Also, do you really think all male doctors that come from rich families and went to ivy league schools all got by on merit?
i identify as a neuro surgeon, a good one, of course, so just relax
Britney Spears mentally ill? NO COME ON REALLY. lol
Jerry is correct
Grown men crying over Swift songs makes my stomach hurt
Eff pc. Keep on Jerry!
Jerry is as usual 100% right.
And that's why streaming the old sitcoms is so popular...
One reason why my TV is switched off with all the woke and reality rubbish on there best thing I ever did was switch off my TV and utube is my TV these days
These Pretzels are making me angry - "Not that there's anything wrong with that"
It is why I dont watch free to air tv anymore.
I am finding myself in the uncomfortable position of actually liking Seinfeld. Damit.
He's always been the man
Agree. I was a weak comic. Not funny at all but glad he is speaking up
@@shazdave8886 The jokes he tells to his comedy friends are way better than anything he wrote for the normie masses.
And Jerry is an amateur compared to his mentor Larry David.
@@robertslugg8361 Seinfeld was brilliant as an actor on his show though. I didn't really like him as a stand-up comic but his style of humor worked much better for the TV show.
Think of All In The Family or The Jefferson's being made today.
The Jeffersons were a spinoff from All In The Family. I like Sherman Helmsly as George Jefferson, however he's the second one. This show is on METV, on Sundays, and they're showing another actor playing George Jefferson, and he's not as flamboyant as Sherman Helmsly.
Much Respect to Mr. Seinfeld for speaking the Truth and standing up for Common Sense. We are 100 percent in support of Jerry. His views are correct.
Tim Allen-Last Man Standing- ABC, now a Disney owned company, canceled Last Man Standing, essentially fired Tim Allen when it was the 2nd highest rated TV series. I canceled cable when that happened and haven't watched TV since. That's easy because my sets are all obsolute now.
It's fun that Kinsey called "Home Improvement"
"Tool Time." A #1 show, so I knew when she said "Tool Time" I knew which show she meant.
Agree! Nobody has a sense of humor or common sense anymore!
It’s a new puritan age, created by sad individuals sitting in their mother’s back bedrooms.
Jerry, I’m with you all the way!,
Can you imagine creating “humor” with restrictions as to what can or cannot be said… and still being respectful?
watch little britain for some good belly laughter... season 4 is little britain usa if this feels more like home
Good for him! Glad he’s speaking up
I look so forward to your voice and words Rita Panahi , besties🎉
If there is so much worry about offending some person, why even bother producing the TV shows & watching them ..
Seinfeld was and still is the shit! I don't watch any of the woke garbage on TV these days and just watch reruns of it, and other shows from back in the day that were actually good! Unless people start getting the woke out of their ass, nothing will ever be good again.
"Tim Allen's Tool Time." SMH at the young folks. It was called Home Improvement...Tool Time was the fictional show within the show. ;)
Years after the sitcom is off the air, "Home Improvement" is often misremembered as "Tool Time".
When people say “Taylor swift is bigger than Michael Jackson ” I turn into Jerry “ this really pisses me off “
My favorite sitcom growing up was Married with children. That awesome show, that I still watch, would make the lefties have a stroke 😂😂😂😂😂
"A song that only us two IS (instead of "are") gonna know is about you"? Taylor Swift wrote that? She doesn't know that "two" is a plural? Doesn't she know basic English grammar? 🤣 Now they're gonna use incorrect verbs with incorrect, non-existent pronouns? 😅
The world wasn't better when comedy was popular, but it sure seemed better because we were all laughing.
Always have had the highest admiration for Jerry Seinfeld. Wish there were MORE of his kind
Anyone coming forward now is a day late and a dollar short. The time for action was 10 years ago!
Action for WHAT?
@@clevelandplonsey7480 you sound kinda dense!
The irony...
".. when someone asks me which way is Israel, i don't fly off the handle!.." - i hope i did not misquote, it's from decades ago but predicted everything
Pretty much spot-on. "Seinfeld" was always riffing on PC BS. (Not that there's anything wrong with that...)
@@richardlafleur8389 LMAO yes the example you added was also spot on... and scary accurate (compelled speech)
@@rotemg7330 😉
Insulting conservatives and Christians is the only acceptable discrimination left.
I just love your show 😂👏👏👏
Carly Simon once sang “you’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you”
Every second Taylor Swift song just says “Yep. This song is about you”
😂LOL friendship braclets.... so meaningfull like when Joe gave one to Barrack. I cried and cried like a baby it was so touching.
This is an awesome ‘Show Time’ part of the day.
I am old, a product of the 1970's and 80's. I don't have anything to do with the Kardashians, Taylor Swift, or pretty much anything today. As far as I am concerned, it's all trash. Take it all away. Just crap.
The problem is that too many people went along with it. Now they're struggling to unscramble the eggs. It's your own failt.
Faak the "special" people.
Get over yourselves FFS.
People who can laugh at themselves are better adjusted to the crap we are subjected to these days !
I do find it ironic to hear Seinfeld talking this way when about a year or so ago he was talking with another comedian who mentioned the inability to make jokes for fear of being cancelled, and Seinfeld THEN said "You've always had limits on what you were allowed to say in comedy."
I am Left. This woke culture nonsense isn't helping the cause. Seinfeld lives in a better world.
This was all on purpose, because Occupy Wall Street was getting too close to the mark. Had to sow division with "woke" nonsense that has nothing to do with true left (pro-worker) values. Started with the Bathroom bill...
And you guys are talking about it.
So mission accomplished.
My generation were lucky enough to have Archie Bunker and ‘Laugh in’! Being able to see the humour in something opens up a new and healthy way of criticism. Watch some reruns of ‘All in the family’ and see the way they deal with some serious societal concerns. It’s timeless
Watching old Seinfeld episodes and the laughs are abundant! 😂
So true. It’s everywhere
I don’t watch anything really anymore. Tv is trash 🚮 today.
Taylor Swift is apart of a cult. 👎 pretty much all of them.
A bit off-topic, but the first pick in the NFL draft is a man? who cries in his Mommy's arms after a loss, paints his nails pink, and carries a pink phone and purse.
There should have been an age warning for this one.
Those over sixty may be out of their element.
I’m glad I’ve always liked Seinfeld, and don’t have to jump on the wagon because of these things he’s saying twenty-five years later.
Or is it _off_ the wagon…?
