Take a look at the documentation for setInterval():

Looking at the function signature:

setInterval(code,millisec,lang)

code = The function that will be executed.

You have passed a string for this argument. You can't call a string.

Solution: Give setInterval a function as is expected:

In JavaScript it should look something like: setInterval(function() {   $("#comments_id").dataTable().fnDraw(); }, 1000);
