Jerry Seinfeld Just Isn't Buying This Political Correctness Crap

He goes after Seth Meyers at the end, noting Seth Meyers' vow to not make a joke about Caitlyn Jenner.

He also has questions for the editor of the New Yorker who talks about going "too far over the line." Seinfeld seems annoyed to be hearing of all these "lines" he's not supposed to cross.

And, of course, Seinfeld is one of the most famously clean comics in history. It's not like he's Sam Kinnison, and his career depends on a certain rule. He's just had it up to the eyeballs with this crap.

Related: Bob Costas called it "crassly exploitative" for ESPN to give "Caitlyn" Jenner an award for "courage" or whatever.

This caused, as you may imagine, Outrage.

Check out who the E! network used as its sole example of online outrage about Costas, below.

OMG, E! *ONLY* used me to prove "social media backlash". No other examples. https://t.co/ncbmsp4Q8y
