Jerry Seinfeld says the 'extreme left and PC crap' are hampering comedy today

American stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld said the “extreme left and PC crap” are hampering comedy today, arguing it restricts the genre that people still need in their lives. 

Seinfeld offered his take on the current problems comedy is encountering and what the future holds for art during his appearance on The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast. 

"Nothing really affects comedy. They need it, people need it so badly, and they don't get it," Seinfeld told The New Yorker's editor-in-chief David Remnick, who hosts the podcast.
