Why do comedians on late night shows always talk bad about New Jersey?

Question

Sorry this may seem like a dumb question, im form the midwest so im totally confused. New York and surronding states seem just as bad.

Answer 1

A lot of late night shows are based in NYC.  So, many people stereotype NJ.  (There is a small section of NJ near Giants Stadium/Turnpike....that is not very nice....old factories, swamp land, crowded urban living, and can smell sometimes.  So most people see this when they fly into Newark airport or come from nyc into new jersey they see this.   Plus, the major cities such as Camden, Newark, etc are not very nice.  Therefore the whole state gets a bad rep.

In reality, many areas of NJ are really nice to live in.  We have the ocean, mountains, lakes, rivers, etc... The suburbs are good to live in.  NJ is actually one of the most expensive places to live.

Answer 2

Bcuz new jersey sucks
