Prior to that, he was an editor there. His reviews tend to shift more toward theater and television related to disabilities, such as plays called Syndrome, Autism: The Musical and Push Girls."[5] ControversyIn one review, Genzlinger criticized TV writers for what he perceived as their overuse of the word "really". He claimed that it's, "delivered with a high-pitched sneer to indicate a contempt so complete that it requires no clarification" and, "it’s undoing 2,000 years’ worth of human progress." In response, comedian Jerry Seinfeld wrote an angry letter to Genzlinger. Seinfeld remarked, "Really, Neil? Really? You’re upset about too many people saying, 'Really?'? I mean, really...OK, fine, when it’s used in scripted media, it is a little lazy. But comedy writers are lazy. You’re not fixing that. So, here’s the bottom line. If you’re a writer, fine, don’t use it. But in conversation it is fun to say." Seinfeld also later mocked Genzlinger's use of the phrase "wrap my head around it."[6] References1. ^{{cite web|authorlink1=Robert Simonson|last=Simonson|first=Robert|title=New York Times Critic Authors Fringe Play The Last Detail|url=http://www.playbill.com/article/new-york-times-critic-authors-fringe-play-the-last-detail-com-120906|publisher=Playbill|date=19 July 2004|accessdate=29 June 2016}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Genzlinger, Neil}}{{US-playwright-stub}}{{US-journalist-stub}}2. ^"Tecumseh's Revenge."
