Jerry Seinfeld Apologizes for Criticizing Howard Stern's Comedy
May 9, 2024, 02:14 PM
Jerry Seinfeld recently made headlines by criticizing Howard Stern's comedic abilities, suggesting that Stern has been surpassed by other comedians with podcasts. Seinfeld described Stern as being 'outflanked' by comedy podcasters and commented on comedians who take themselves too seriously, stating, 'If you're not funny, we're not interested.' However, following these remarks, Seinfeld issued multiple apologies to Stern. He expressed regret over his choice of words, clarifying that he meant to say Stern might feel 'surrounded' rather than 'outflanked,' which he acknowledged sounded 'terrible and insulting.' Seinfeld's public apologies included statements of affection and requests for forgiveness, emphasizing, 'I still love you. Please forgive me.'
