    The first episode of Seinfeld aired in 1989. Thirty-five years later, the show remains at the apex of American culture. People speak in Seinfeld-isms, they flirt on dating apps over Seinfeld, they rewatch old episodes of Seinfeld when they’re feeling down. And, in the case of the Weiss family, Lou still watches it every night from 11 pm to 12 am on the local Pittsburgh station before he goes to sleep. People around the world even learn English watching Seinfeld!
    But now, during a time that is supposed to be the most inclusive, the most sensitive, the most accepting, and the most tolerant time in human history, Jerry Seinfeld is targeted for being a Jew.
    You’ve probably heard or seen Jerry somewhere recently-from The New Yorker to GQ to… every podcast in the world. That’s because he has a new movie out called Unfrosted, which you should definitely go watch on Netflix. It’s hilarious, heartwarming, and you will love it.
    But today’s conversation with Jerry is unlike the ones you’ve heard. He’s unfiltered. He’s emotional. And he’s speaking his mind.

    I've seen hundreds of interviews with Jerry over the years starting with the Tonight Show over 40 years ago, and this is the first time I've seen him get emotional. Maybe that's why that moment landed harder. Thank you for sharing this conversation with us!

      I ended the episode with tears in my eyes and it was a total surprise. I’m still not sure what it means, but I think it has to do with what Jerry said about comedians seeing through the veneer and how politics is all bullshit. It seems like everything is political these days and by extension, that means everything is bullshit then and it’s so depressing and demoralizing to exist in that.

    • @DABA2024
      @DABA2024 Před 22 dny

      Except he is railing on about wokeness like every other male comedian over 40, while simultaneously creating literally the worst comedy movie of the past 30 years. The guy who is mad that politics is everything these days is going around giving completely unfunny interviews about wokeness and masculinity and other clearly political bullshit, because his comedy isn’t hitting like it did in the 90s. A Pop Tarts movie is like doing a movie about airline peanuts in 2024. Wildly out of touch. This guy brought you to tears? 😂

      I used to live in Los Angeles, and bumped into stars all the time. Some are nice, some are putzes. But, Henry Winkler is the nicest man to walk the earth. I ran into him several times, and he was always gracious and kind. I belonged to the same shul, when he brought his little daughter in, for her naming. I've never seen anyone so happy and proud. Seinfeld gives off a similar vibe, warmth and humor. And, unless you're in the periphery, you might run into him someday, בארץ.

But for her to claim this is mob mentality is her, in my opinion, refusing to have an honest discussion of the topic of Israel and Palestine and the genocide in Gaza. Easy just to claim your detractors as a violent mob rather than actually address their argument. For Jerry to say he is a comedian and not complicit or a bad target, is perhaps a cop out. His wife donated to violent counter protesters at UCLA. He has seemingly equated being Jewish with being a Zionist in his support for Israel. The two are not the same. My point is, the discussion in this regard is sorely lacking. But what would I expect from Bari Weiss who claims to be free speech but has a long history of actively seeking to have anti-Zionist voices canceled, fired. Hardly a defender of civil liberties.
