Comedian Jerry Seinfeld teed off on the political Left during an interview published over the weekend, in which he blamed them for killing comedy on television.

Seinfeld told The New Yorker that in the past nothing has really impacted comedy because people have always needed it.

“They need it so badly and they don’t get it,” he said. “It used to be, you would go home at the end of the day, most people would go, “Oh, ‘Cheers’ is on. Oh, ‘M*A*S*H’ is on. Oh, ‘Mary Tyler Moore’ is on. ‘All in the Family’ is on.” You just expected, there’ll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight.”
