Jerry Seinfeld isn't giving up on New York City and believes neither should you. The comedian, 66, appeared on Sunday’s 60 Minutes to discuss Manhattan's response to the coronavirus pandemic and why he knows that the city can and will recover. “When you were a kid, remember kicking over the anthill?” Seinfeld mused. “That's what just happened to us. [COVID] just kicked over the whole anthill.
And what do the ants do? [imitating an ant] ‘All right. Hand me the next crumb. Let's get back to work!’” The actor also referenced the op-ed he wrote in The New York Times rebutting New York City comedy club owner and writer James Altucher's article about how NYC is "dead forever." Altucher argued in a New York Post op-ed that New York will not bounce.
