The 70-year-old added: “With certain comedians now, people are having fun with them stepping over the line, and us all laughing about it.
“But again, it’s the stand-ups that really have the freedom to do it because no one else gets the blame if it doesn’t go down well.”
Seinfeld has previously said he had been warned not to perform his act at colleges because “they’re so PC”.
Students “just want to use these words – ‘that’s racist, that’s sexist, that’s prejudiced’”, he said, adding: “They don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.”
He's 100 percent correct. One of the toughest jobs in America these days is comedy because everyone gets offended at a glance, and no one can laugh at themselves. | Jerry Seinfeld blames "extreme left and P.C. crap" for downfall of TV sitcoms https://t.co/TRHB3YYkUn pic.twitter.com/g01Ta6IYAM
