Jerry Seinfeld apologizes to Howard Stern for comedy criticism

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has issued an apology to Howard Stern following his recent candid comments about Stern's comedy skills. Speaking on the 'Fly on the Wall' podcast, Seinfeld praised other comedy hosts, suggesting Stern was "outflanked" in the current landscape. However, Seinfeld later acknowledged that his choice of words was insulting and not reflective of his true feelings toward Stern. Seinfeld later clarified that he "meant to say he must feel surrounded but [he] said ‘outflanked’ which sounded terrible and insulting”. The incident comes amidst Seinfeld's press tour for his film, 'Unfrosted,' during which he has been vocal about various aspects of comedy. Seinfeld recently attributed the decline of comedy to political correctness, which has stirred both praise and criticism from his fanbase.
