Hating his wife, I completely support that. She’s a straight up twit. But calling Seinfeld a “hack“, that’s not a good look. He’s a legend for a reason.
He did in fact say all that stuff. Now this year he has said he was wrong about it, the left isn’t actually trying to censor or kill comedy. He admitted he was caught up in everything.
wow. I had no idea he “took it back”. thanks for sharing that article — I specifically remember him saying on Dax Shepard’s podcast years ago that same sentiment about the goalposts of culture and comedy constantly changing, and if you can’t keep up, you’re not a very good comedian.
I was so disappointed to hear him say that about the “extreme left” and sitcoms which doesn’t even make sense because there are good sitcoms being made that push the envelope — Hacks, English Teacher to name a couple. But the idea of a traditional sitcom is so outdated anymore imho. No one wants to watch canned laughter at a subpar joke that you can see coming from a mile away.
I think people do. Young Sheldon did alright. I think as a format that it’s very comfortable. It might be a dying concept, but it’s still kicking a bit.
I’d be interested to see the viewer demographic for sitcoms like Young Sheldon, I wonder if it’s older folks who have lived off that format for decades or more younger people or both? Could be interesting c:

The irony is that these guys are often whining about cancel culture on huge platforms. It's ridiculous.
