You know what? Move over, Jerry! Julia Louis-Dreyfus has entered the chat.
Last month, Jerry Seinfeld got everyone talking with his thoughts on the lack of "funny stuff" on TV, blaming it on what he called the "extreme left and P.C. crap," and folks being too worried about offending others.
But when asked about her former "Seinfeld" co-star's comments in a recent chat with the New York Times, Louis-Dreyfus had some wise words to share. She said, "I believe being aware of certain sensitivities is not a bad thing."
She went on to talk about how comedy and drama from decades ago might not fly today, given how things have changed. And without dropping Jerry's name, she hinted that complaints about political correctness could mean something deeper.
In a follow-up call with the Times, she dug into the idea of political correctness, saying it's great when it's about tolerance. But hey, she still reserves the right to boo anyone who says something offensive, all while respecting their right to speak their mind.
Louis-Dreyfus also pointed out a bigger issue in Hollywood: the big shots controlling everything, from studios to streaming services. She sees this consolidation of power as a real threat to art.
So, yeah, while Jerry's busy airing his grievances, Julia's out here dropping truth bombs about comedy, political correctness, and the state of Hollywood. Boom!
