Jerry Seinfeld did an interview today where he was asked about the fact that only white men seem to appear in his comedy web series "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee." And he responded with:
It really pisses me off," he said. "People think [comedy] is the census or something, it's gotta represent the actual pie chart of America. Who cares?"
BuzzFeed Business Editor Peter Lauria seemed hesitant to pursue the frank answer, but the comedian continued on anyway. "Funny is the world that I live in. You're funny, I'm interested. You're not funny, I'm not interested," he said. "I have no interest in gender or race or anything like that."
So here we are again with the age-old question: does Jerry Seinfeld have a responsibility to include minority comedians in his show?
