Rob McElhenney had a one-word takedown of Jerry Seinfeld’s claim that the Left have killed sitcoms

The latest elderly comedian to claim you can’t say anything now because of woke – thought not in those exact words – is Jerry Seinfeld, co-writer and star of Seinfeld, in which he played an unlikeable comedian.

It must have been quite a stretch.

He explained to the New Yorker that there’s no comedy on TV because of the extreme Left. Yeah, we know. We heard it too.

Discussing Film covered it, picking up on one storyline he feels wouldn’t get past the comedy-killing Lefties.

People weren’t convinced his comedy had been particulary edgy in the first place, and they weren’t buying his hard-done-by act.

His succinct comment went down well.
