Showing Original Post only (View all)Has Jerry Seinfeld ALWAYS been like this? [View all]
I grew up with his sitcom, which has surprisingly aged very well. He was surrounded by such a great supporting cast and had Larry David at the helm for much of its run.
Now, he is railing about wokeness, cancel culture and "real men". Seinfeld used to have a pretty apolitical public persona, so is this a new thing?
