Over the past five years or so, doesn?t it seem like Jerry Seinfeld is strangely out of touch? I mean, he?s richer than God, of course he?s been ?out of touch? with the common folk for decades. But he?s also out-of-touch culturally, like he doesn?t even pay attention to the conversations we?re having as a society, or the conversations which are preoccupying Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Maybe that?s about money too at some point, you get so rich that the money insulates you from every single conversation. Anyway, Jerry Seinfeld has some thoughts about ABC firing Roseanne Barr. His thoughts are just? out of touch.
Jerry Seinfeld is weighing in on Roseanne Barr?s firing from Roseanne in the wake of her racist tweet. The Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee star got candid about the controversy on Monday, when he admitted to Entertainment Tonight about 65-year-old Barr?s dismissal from the ABC reboot, ?I didn?t see why it was necessary to fire her. Why would you murder someone who?s committing suicide? But I never saw someone ruin their entire career with one button push,? added Seinfeld, 64. ?That was fresh.?
In Seinfeld?s opinion, Barr?s character shouldn?t have been scrapped; instead, she should have been replaced.
?I think they should get another Roseanne,? he advised. ?They brought Dan Conner back, he was dead and they brought him back. So, why can?t we get another Roseanne??
?There?s other funny women that could do that part. You need to get the comic in there,? said Seinfeld. ?I hate to see a comic lose a job.?

The one nice thing I?ll say about Seinfeld?s comments is that he?s probably known Roseanne for decades from the comedy circuit in the ?80s, and it?s nice that he would stand up for a female comic whom he?s known for a long time. But the rest of it is awful? ?Why would you murder someone who?s committing suicide?? What kind of sh-tty comment is that?? And if we?re using the awful suicide-murder analogy, then yes, Roseanne was self-sabotaging? so that she would be fired. She knew what she was doing was wrong and she did it anyway. She had agency in her downfall. As for what he says about replacing Roseanne? she owns the rights to the characters. Replacing her probably wouldn?t have been an option. But thanks for chiming in, Jerry.

God bless any of you who can actually sit down and read a New York Times interview with Lindsay Lohan, much less read the interview and transcribe parts of it. Bless New York Magazine for taking the time, because I?m just going to use their hard work. If you?re a masochist, you can read the NYT profile here:
