  • i knew about yall before current but it got me to love yall and now the internet stuff helps me get straight answers. keep it up

  • That's why I like you Cenk.

  • Cenk is a millionaire! That's alright, it's only money. I hope it does not change you.

  • brb, gotta go tell Randy Gonzalez.

  • how are you independent when the boss is al gore?? he's got so much money he is like a company himself, in a way. if you look at it that way that crushes your first three points and the last point is the only point i agree on. al gore wanted you, you didn't come to him. he wants to reach your audience, that's why you're getting this deal. it won't last forever, so who cares?

  • @kmica2008 youre just wrong and its 3 months later and they are doing great and strong and still on tv cunt waffle

  • You left out the real #1 reason cenk. because they are the ONLY idiots who would hire you! Yeah enjoy being on "Current" TV with their 12 viewers incuding your mom!

  • I think you guys are all wrong with the al gore comments. I guess it remains to be seen if they stay true to themselves on this one but really, Al Gore has nothing to gain politically. Having a television station is about money. Regardless of what TYT says, if it brings ratings and money, it wont matter to him.

  • 1:23 I think I'm cumming too...

  • oh dear, you had me till you said Al Gore.

  • TBH....why would anyone want to slag off on TYT not being liked by audiences, and therefore cause Current TV to lose money? The nanosecond Cenk started acting on MSNBC like he usually does on TYT, ratings went UP, and before he left, he beat FOX. I'm personally waiting for that to happen again now that the Krakken's going be released from Day 1. Who knows? Maybe TYT will cause Current to end up in Basic Cable and truly kick some MSM butt.

  • Sorry Cenk, but there is no independent media. Current TV needs advertisers to run and if they don't like the TYT, Current loses money. Keith Obermann knows this and he said it. The media in a capitalist nation is run by people with money, big money. That is why a socialist society is needed were the media is for all.

    Socialism does not mean big government or that the media is run by the government. No, the media will be run by people, not by bureaucrats or capitalists.

  • Cenk, if there's anyone who can stand up to Al Gore and tell him that "Man, Bear, Pig" isn't real, it's you. I'm cerial.

  • Poor, naive Cenk. Numbers 1 and 2 will be overridden by number 4. Al Gore has his own bias and interest. You won't be able to get away with certain things. I'm warning you msn, it's gonna be MSNBC all over again. Only when you get your own news network will you truly be independent

  • TYT I hope you know what you doing

  • To play devil's advocate here, having Al Gore as a boss would worry me even if he is (supposedly) an ex-politician. He was also a big part of the clinton years and had quite a few errors in judgement himself. Why should I believe that there would be no significant pressure from Al Gore to present a story with a particular political or economic slant that may not be completely truthful or could be potentially embarrassing to himself or his supporters?

  • Cenk, please bring that sound board with you.

  • Oh and one more thing.. Will you still be doing your Web show? Gosh i sure hope so. ~Pct3ch~

  • Can you get Current on Direct TV??? ~Pct3ch~

  • When does this start?

  • Cenk is the man! I got to talk to him briefly at Occupy Wall Street today. TYT was one of the FIRST to cover it. And I got to say thank you. How fucking cool is that?

  • @ediblered i thnk i saw you in one of the clips...!

  • they hate Justin Bieber too but he's got 400 million views on his one video, i think some people are like flies, flies can't stay away from you know what!! I get better news here than basic news channels cnn, nbc, CockNews ( I mean Fox)

  • "independent" and "no corporate control" my ass! Al Gore is just Goldman Sachs bitch who does whatever they tell them, oh and he is also best buddies with Rick Perry.

    Yeah "truly independent" my fucking ass Cenk. Fuck you.

  • @Shonenut213

    Truth !

  • i think it could get better by not having anything to do with keith olbermann

  • no corporate control and ur boss is Al Gore?..Al Gore the guy who talks about global warming and fights for a the new world order?... please..

  • dam tyt is gangsta. that music is the background makes tyt look bad ass. go tyt. Im not even American and I love this channel. I wish canada had a tyt. tyt to strong.

  • a black guy a mexican and a turk sounds like a bar joke

    but is ana turkish? if not why call it TYT if only one turk

  • manbearpig is real, I'm super CEREAL!

  • Will we still see all episodes here or online anywhere for "free"? If not, what's the point?

  • @PoliticalLee hmm, I never thought of that. I wouldn't be able to watch it anymore if it weren't online.

  • i want to see how many people hate this young turks shit

  • this is so cheesy

  • Awesome ! Good for you guys! Just don't ever sell out!

  • TSTH Too strong to handle

  • Werd!!! Anyone know what channel this is on on DirectTV?

  • Cenk evidently has a slightly disturbing lob-on for Al Gore - a bit like an overfed, unneutered pet dog with a leg fetish.

  • Will we be able to see TYT on Current on the internet in the UK? 'cause I could dig that.

  • @ir0ckfartz - Its on TV, a fairly new channel, hopefully you have access to it. Its on my basic plan, but honestly though, it may be worth even upgrading your cable to get it. Does anyone know when the first episode will be?

  • Is this on TV or is it still an online show?

  • @ir0ckfartz tv show i'm not sure if it is still online though

  • ;-)

  • FANTASTIC TV! Current tv rocks!

  • Al Gore is Goldman's bitch; Cenk Uygur is Al Gore's bitch.

    Therefore, Cenk Uygur is Goldman Sach's bitch.

    Could you follow that libs? Do we need to review it again?

  • CENK UYUGUR FOR PRESIDENT 2012!!!!!

  • @kyle7412 People always seem to forget he can't run. He was born in Turkey.

  • nice

  • Yeah, Al Gore owns Current. And you're telling me that you guys are going to be completely unbiased and in control? Please...

  • Al Gore is a shithead, a liar, a scam artist, and a hypocrite. Fuck his ugly ass, independent my ass you're Al Gore's bitches. You'll do stories like always how great the liberals COULD be and how shitty the conservatives ARE. The reason that faggot hired you and Olbermann is because it's the same EXTREME left wing rhetoric he likes. He knows you'll NEVER show the other side.

  • @PatriotNotGovernment Obvious Troll is too obvious. Cenk is as outspoken about our democratic president, for example, as anyone else. When the other side is right, it is shown on TYT. As for Republican guests, I'm pretty sure you can count on Cenk to invite them. Whether they prefer to hide, excuse or refuse is their choice. If Al Gore tried to influence or change the program, TYT would quit. That's a given. So your rant has no merit. Run along.

  • @OrthodoxAtheist I'm not a troll but nice try. Cenk is outspoken saying Obama is left wing ENOUGH. No tyt never covers the other side and when they do it's just a set up to bash them. He'll have Republican guests but like when he compared Obama to Reagan and BOTH guests said he was nuts, he'll ignore it. If Al Gore wanted to change it, it would be MORE to left (if possible) & emphasize climate horseshit, which Cenk would love! Thanks for playing

  • @PatriotNotGovernment By "climate horseshit" I presume you mean "climate change that 95% of scientists agree with (including Stephen Hawking)", right? Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth has its errors, but is largely accurate. Glad you accept Cenk will have Republican guests on, which is covering the other side. Rather than playing Eeyore, how about you wait until what you prophecize actually happens and then you can say you told us so. Instead, go read a peer-reviewed climate change journal.

  • @PatriotNotGovernment. How big of a mouth would you have little boy if you weren't living in your parents' bassement and had their protection?

  • @cne08 what the hell is bassement? I live in in a 2 bedroom apartment and work 40 hours a week AND go to school. nice try tough guy

  • If you think Al Gore being your boss there is a problem.. He is one of the biggest liars in American Politics to date. I really liked everything till you got to him and then it turned me off completley and I was for him when he ran then after researching him found him to be a scumbag and I am surprized you have not as well. I hope this does not change your show because I like it, please do not sing Gores praises anymore, it makes you look like a ass kisser.

  • But what about Alex Jones? Hee hee.

  • congratulations! wonderful!

  • i thought snoop dog was going to pull up with his goons ....TYT IS TOO STRONG!!!!!

  • Al Gore is such a BAMF

  • Love how all the reasons are the same reason.

    1 - Truly Independent

    2 - No Corporate Control

    (Yeah, you just said that in #1)

    3 - "We don't have to worry about offending anyone"

    ( Why? Oh.. because you're independent? Right, I get it! )

    4 - My Boss is Al Gore

    {Cool story bro}

    5 - TYT Style

    I'll give you that one ;]

  • @TweekDash lol they can never say that enough

  • @TweekDash Independent means that it is a small business, No corporate control means that their is no other company financing it telling them what to do, and not having to worry about offending people means strictly for guest, can criticize and make fun of them, you sir, are a retard.

  • @Pondebong Go sit on a dick. Are you not getting enough attention at home?

  • @TweekDash =belive me cenk you are it !the public media is controlled at the government level= it is going to be hard to go public tv but it is possible i know if there is a solution just let us know and will try to do the right thing thank you and good luck!

  • Al Gore is a tool. U.S. Vice President Al Gore and businessman Joel Hyatt. Comcast owns a ten percent stake of Current's parent company, Current Media LLC (LLC= Limited Liability CORPORATION). So what about no corporations?

  • I was up for it till Al Gore's name popped up, but at least Cenk was honest and said so. More than I can say for most people on the air.

  • @DimebagsZombie I like Al Gore not because I agree with him all that much but because he makes conservatives cry more than anyone else. It's worth it just to see him troll conservatives.

  • I'm glad to hear the good news.

  • Your boss is Al Gore? I will NEVER watch your show on current TV.

  • OH YES "

  • limiting Current TV to only the States reminds me of communist TV. (Current TV no longer works from outside the country for what little that was on the Net)

  • Tell The Current to stream live on the internet. They can still run ads and make a profit. Thumbs up so they can see.

  • Am I the only one that got up and started cheering....?

  • But... will they still be able to say FUCK?

  • 1 cough msnbc

  • The background music. Really?

  • Are you in a building at UCLA? looks like the swimming pool building..

  • Genie0390 is just a troll, ignore the dumb bitch.

  • Damn can we get a date?? I can't wait.

  • Who let that fucking "genie0390" out of its bottle!!

  • Cenk I hope you will tell your new boss what you think about his 2000 vp candidate (Joe Lieberman: the worst sell out of the whole Democratic party. Among lots of other things, Lieberman endorsed McCain for president in 2008).

  • I hope my dish can withstand TYT on TV, Because the Broadcast will be too strong!!!!!;) I can't wait

  • way to suck up to al gore cenk

  • @dattebenforcer You people always find some bullshit to complain about.

  • @hisuleiman "you people"? OMG racism! you racist!

  • When is the air date ?????????

  • what's with the pimp my ride music and editing?

  • Oh boy. what excitement!! imagine Al Gore will be Cenk's boss? seeing as how Al Gore is a fucking big loser, people in his own State voted against him, how is that so wonderful?

    Gore will likely send Cenk on another spying mission to the borders of North korea and China, he will be captured and we will have to bail the prick out

    what's so great about keith Odormann?? this dumb fanatic progressive prick got fired from MSNBC

    one thing good however, Cenk will get to lower the earth's temp

  • @genie0390 I call Poe's law on you. This can not be a serious comment, nobody is dumb enough to write this. 

  • @genie0390 Lol wut?

  • No American mind-police? What's the catch?

  • Al Gore is the boss of everyone. He created the internet ya know.

  • I'm so proud. I've been following you guys since the 2008 elections. Such a good, critical show. Good luck in the upcoming months man.

  • TOOOO STRONG!

  • It's a trap!

  • cool stuff no suits thats great

  • That's absolutely great for you Cenk! Unfortunately, my TV provider (own by right wingers in a right-wing county in western PA) doesn't have Current TV. Keep up the good work for all of us progressives. I will watch episodes of your show online. Keith is still, as always, terrific.

  • It would have been better if you could be on basic cable. But I guess this is better then nothing good luck.

  • Hope Cenk, that your crew alongwith Gore is able to catch manbearpig.

  • @Harnhark98 you've been watching to much Rachel Maddow. I hope I can access your show online also. I use to love how u use to give it to them, those dems came to your show thinking they'd be treated nicely and whaa-bam, they're like what hit me?

  • Cenk looks a bit effeminate here.

    Kind of weird.

  • Al Gore and Oberman aren't merits for me. Quality of content is.

  • What's so bad about Al Gore and Keith Olbermann? Really, I wholeheartedly doubt that they're as bad as Rick Perry and Bill O'Reilly.

  • @lukegreen37

    "What's so bad about Al Gore and Keith Olbermann?"

    haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha haha, you're kidding right?

  • @genie0390 No, I'm not.

  • @lukegreen37 moron...

  • @slangshotstudios Answer the question, then I might understand.

  • FYI, I love the shot of you guys on the Current TV website. You look totally badass!!

  • The pimp background music is so fitting.

  • @gorogawa, Cause TYT is straight gangsta! :D

  • awesome !!!

  • Is the soundboard coming too?

  • Current is in the UK but you need pay for sky tv

  • In the shower...

    On the toilet...

    In front of a PC...

    I'm doing it TYT-style: I'm coming!

  • @ppxoon Ha. I've been doing it TYT style before I knew what TYT was!

  • I don't trust him. It's not easy to be objective when Al Gore is behind the scenes.

  • I can't funking wait man to see you on the air body.

  • will tyt still be available for european viewers?

  • Comment removed

  • 1, 2 - The wiki page got me thinking, 2009 failed IPO, Comcast stake, etc...

    3 - TYT army stay strong

    4 - How is it so exciting to report to a "boss" when independence matters

    5 - TYT FTW!!!

  • I bet Cenk's #4, Al Gore is my boss, is really his #1 and what he goes aground telling everyone.

    He would have to hide that fact in shame if it were Dick Chaney.

  • Since Time Warner in my area refuses to add Current TV to their basic cable, I'll have to get dish TV to watch. But please I hope someone like Moxie post some of the program on YT. So much happiness toward you guys, I just knew that it wouldn't be long before Current would add your program to their line up. So, happy for you. I hope the whole crew comes with you.

  • What if you question NAFTA? Has Gore come out AGAINST Nafta yet? Is he STILL a proponent?

  • Not that I'm a denier, but if you report a story or segment that even QUESTIONS, let's say, 1 aspect of the global warming theory and presents some alternative, peer-reviewed evidence or a new perspective (not funded by Big Oil, though), hypothetically speaking, are you SURE Al Gore would allow it, Cenk?

  • @whoo689 thats silly. thats like saying what if you report a story that questions that the earth goes around the sun. its just not going to happen. because it a bogus hypothetical situation.

  • Al Gore FTW/

  • Is any one else as pumped as I am?

  • I guess that means your show is going to be super cereal from now on.

  • @Stevie68000 Fuck you.

  • We Go Out, We Hit People In The Mouth

    Number one

  • "My boss is Al Gore"

    Sadly Cenk, that's the one reason I will not watch Current.

    [And, in the interest of being "fair & balanced, the other reason is Keith Olberman].

  • @bobbytiger You will watch. Now stop lying, sit down, sit back, relax, behold, and enjoy.

  • Congrats! I just hope you keep uploading to Youtube as I can't get Current TV here.

  • TYT FTW!

  • BOSS!

  • Hope you stay online too as tyt for your non-american viewers. So I can see not everyone in america is crazy.

  • @alphaBravoAB

    I mos def second that!

  • @alphaBravoAB ---

    Agreed.

  • @alphaBravoAB It's gonna be online, too.

  • @alphaBravoAB they will still be online

  • @alphaBravoAB you can watch current online @ thertv..... google it

  • @alphaBravoAB Curentv has a video stream as well. Just go to Currentv.com and you can watch video content from the shows. No matter where the TYT ARMY Barracks are, the truth will out!! Peace!

  • This isn't going to end well.

  • You lost me at "my boss is al gore". You can't claim you're free from corporate influence and that you're independent media.... and be Al Gores employee at the same time. Al Gore's middle name is I.l.l.u.m.i.n.a.t.i., big business, corruption, bilderburg...

  • @tooosweeet Hah, I see the conspiracy lunatics have come out of the woodwork once again. Welcome back, Billy Bob.

  • @grimordwow Explain what my conspiracy is? I'm going to assume you're signing your own name "billy bob".

  • @tooosweeet What your conspiracy is? The Illuminati bullshit. And please, I know you're probably one of those Zeitgeist retards, so spare me the lecture on your unfounded, baseless, stupid shit.

  • @grimordwow Sounds like you've cooked up a conspiracy that I'm part of zeitgeist. I'd say you're the loon who's making a pile of baseless stupid shit.

  • I don't trust al gore, and I'm being totally serial

  • FUCK al gore

  • Does this mean you will stop doing retarded stories like the irrelevant segment on Ron Paul's eyebrow?

  • this is awesome! congrats TYT :))))))

  • gratz cenk , but you know what they say about meeting your heros ...

  • tyt army is just too strong. give it 1 more year and they're fox-like mainstream.

  • BOOM... that's how it's done.

  • Lets see if they're critical of Israeli policy.

  • @mudbone80 Cenk is one of the most ardent critics of Israeli policy by any liberal commentator on television. You don't have to wait and see if they are because there's videos of it all over YouTube.

  • FOX is gonna get raped like a fursuiter at a furry con.

  • TOTAL DOMINATION!!!!!

  • we're comin!

  • Go get 'em, Cenk!

  • #5 is my favorite!
