What, did Jen and Peter watch one show? Having watched them for a few years now, I have to say that Cenk is the most intelligent and entertaining of the news commentators on TV. And he's nobody's puppet. Jen, you will have to wait a great deal longer to see a socialist news commentator ranting about environmental and animal welfare issues on a major network show, much as I would like to see that happen too. Just speaking from almost 50 years of experience here. Cenk is the best out there, and his recent appearances on MSNBC prove how all those years of The Young Turks have made him outstanding at what he does. It's like he was born to do this. He can also be hysterically funny at times and he's good looking. What more can you want? Cenk, it's so obvious that MSNBC is testing you right now for that position, and I think it is awesome you are getting air time on Ed's show so more Americans hear what you have to say!

I hope they get a lot of air time and can reach more people, they are the only sane people I've seen in the American media. Wish there was a UK Young Turks (cover British politics Cenk!).

Agree with Jen, if you looking for over sea-export material; Then going more on issue over sea about the European riot, why? ME, Taliban-talks, why? etc. It's all about: get resources to get the materials. Not get materials, from other peoples resources. Then it just get superficial and bitter untasteful, like fox news.
Right now he is a show man for USA public, not like the Jon Steward, Daily show. Who knows?
Remember, don't give him to much money, and let him go cranky at the boss, then it's bankers.
Best regards. Europe, Norway.

Cenk is no populust. A straight-shooting and honest journalist, he speaks his mind and sticks to his principles. He'll take apart a crooked Democrat just as enthusiastically as a corrupt Republican. Watching his TYT show is always both informative and entertaining, every minitue of it. When interviewing public figures, be they senators or former presidents, he asks the questions we want to hear answers to. He and his marvellous TYT crew would be a great addition to any news channel. If there was ever a talk show host that should have nation-wide exposure, Cenk is definitely the man!

He is smart and knows the real deal. But he is still too tame and lame and absorbed my mainstream media subjects and spin. Hence, he is not standing out a well as he'd like. While he is clear on the role of rapacious bankers and speculators, he still feels the need to defend capitaism, a path towards devastation. While corporations are doing violence to humans, animals and nature every moment, he decried a few people breaking a few windows on some banks in England. In the end, it is the same BS (semi intelligent seeming spin) as Rachel Maddow, so called liberal, who advanced the argument that Iran was dangerous to us and needed intervention. If Cenk keeps it really real, then he will have a chance to stand out, like the other populist Glenn Beck. Also, if he publicly renounces a millions salary, then, maybe...
