Julia Louis-Dreyfus slams Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘red flag’ comments on comedy
political correctness and how it has affected comedy.“This is the result of the extreme left, and PC crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people,” Seinfeld, 70, said in April to The New Yorker about the deterioration of TV comedy.But Louis-Dreyfus, 63, disagreed with his take and said that political correctness is “fantastic.”“If you look back on comedy and drama both, let’s say 30 years ago, through the lens of today, you might find bits and pieces that don’t age well,” she told the New York Times in an interview published Saturday.“And I think to have an antenna about sensitivities is not a bad thing. It doesn’t mean that all comedy goes out the window as a result.”The “Veep” star continued: “When I hear people starting to complain about political correctness — and I understand why people might push back on it — but to me that’s a red flag, because it sometimes means something else.
