Jerry Seinfeld concerns fans with new interview appearance.

Fans have expressed their concerns for Jerry Seinfeld after he appeared to be “shaking a lot” during a recent interview.

After a clip of the legendary comedian appearing on the In Depth with Graham Bensinger program last week did the rounds online, many fans have urged the 70-year-old star to seek medical attention.

“The shaking of his head is concerning,” one fan commented, while one wondered, “Has Jerry been diagnosed with anything- he seems to be shaking a lot.”

While some argued that Seinfeld was simply expressing himself with his head shakes and hand gestures, others are convinced something more is at play.

Yet another fan thought Seinfeld looked “a little different lately. Something is off,” with another wondering if the star was “showing signs of Parkinson’s or some kind of tremors”.

“It’s subtle but it sure looks like the beginning of an essential tremor,” another echoed, with one also commenting, “Hopefully, he is aware of it and has been assessed.”

Jerry Seinfeld sparked concerns from fans in his new interview.

Fans noticed the comedian was shaking as he answered the questions.

Tremors are defined by the Mayo Clinic as a condition that causes uncontrollable shaking, but most people don’t require treatment if their symptoms are mild.

However, tremors are often the first motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease – a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves.

Seinfeld’s appearance on Bensinger’s show comes days after he lashed out at how political correctness has ruined comedy, saying comedians are now too worried about “offending” people.

On a recent episode of the New Yorker’s Radio Hour, the Seinfeld star unleashed on the “extreme left”, suggesting that while people still crave comic relief, they can’t find it on television.

“Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it so badly and they don’t get it,” he said.

“It used to be that you’d go home at the end of the day, most people would go, ‘Oh, Cheers is on. Oh, M.A.S.H. is on. Oh, Mary Tyler Moore is on, All in the Family is on.’

“You just expected [there will] be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight. Well, guess what? Where is it? Where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and PC c**p and people worrying so much about offending other people.”
