Neil Genzlinger is an American playwright, editor, book reviewer, and theatre and television critic who frequently writes for The New York Times.
His reviews tend to shift more toward theater and television related to disabilities, such as plays called Syndrome, Autism: The Musical and Push Girls.
"[6][7] In one review, Genzlinger criticized TV writers for what he perceived as their overuse of the word "really," claiming that "it's undoing 2,000 years' worth of human progress."
This protest from Seinfeld was because, as he mentioned in the letter, he had previously performed "a 'Saturday Night Live Weekend Update' segment titled 'Really!?!'
"[11] CNN's Maane Khatchatourian called the letter "amusingly outraged," noting the timely publication of Seinfeld's "keen observation" just prior to his "five-borough New York City comedy tour".
