Summary

Back in April, Jerry Seinfeld ruffled a lot of feathers with his unfiltered take on the state of TV comedy today. While reminiscing about classic sitcoms like “Cheers” and “All in the Family,” Jerry said that because of PC culture these days, TV comedy has changed for the worse. Of course, people online were divided about whether Jerry has a point, and now one of his ol’ castmates is weighing in. Julia Louis-Dreyfus (aka Elaine Benes) has entered the chat, and she’s making it clear that she doesn’t exactly see eye-to-eye with her old co-star.
