Jerry Seinfeld, on the occasion of his 70th birthday, has sparked a widespread discussion on the state of comedy in modern television. Seinfeld criticized the current TV comedy scene, suggesting that it has lost its humor, which he attributes to excessive political correctness and the rigorous script approval processes that stifle creativity. His comments have resonated with several public figures, including Elon Musk and Steve Harvey, who have expressed agreement with his views. Seinfeld's critique comes amid promotional activities for his directorial debut, a comedy film about Pop-Tarts, which also features classic characters from his iconic show 'Seinfeld'.
