Bio: Cenk Uygur
huffingtonpost.com
Cenk Uygur is co-host of The Young Turks, the first liberal radio show to air nationwide. The Young Turks began as Sirius Satellite Radio’s first original program, and, while still on Sirius, is now nationally syndicated and available on itunes and online at www.theyoungturks.com and www.radiopower.org.
Described by the Pittsburgh City Paper as “Part Howard Stern, Part Howard Dean,” The Young Turks presents a smart, funny and irreverent take on politics, pop culture, news, the dangers of abstinence, and why you shouldn’t vacation in Fallujah. It’s all fair game to The Young Turks. A sampling of recent guests include Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader, Porn Star Mary Carey, Presidential Candidate Pat Buchanan, Actor Matt Dillon, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Supreme Allied Commander General Wesley Clark, Brian Williams of NBC News, Porn Star Lolana, Sam Donaldson of ABC News, Professor of Linguistics at MIT Noam Chomsky, Actor Richard Dreyfuss, Political Commentator Mary Matalin, Political Commentator Arianna Huffington, among numerous others.
Host Cenk Uygur’s eclectic background exemplifies why this unique program has become such a success. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania - Wharton School of Business and Columbia University Law School, Cenk joined the prestigious Philadelphia law firm of Drinker, Biddle & Reath in their Washington DC office. He then worked as an entertainment lawyer for Parcher, Hayes & Liebman in New York City.
Cenk’s on-air career began as a weekend talk show host on WWRC radio in Washington, DC and WRKO radio in Boston, MA. While working as both a practicing lawyer and radio host in Washington, he made regular appearances on Burden of Proof for CNN and Youngbloods for America’s Voice, the precursor to Fox News Channel. Burden of Proof used Cenk as a legal expert, where he sparred -- sometimes quite vociferously -- with the likes of Greta Van Susteren, Lawrence Shiller and Johnnie Cochran. Youngbloods – a political talk show aimed at younger audiences – used Cenk as one of its regular panelists.
Cenk moved to Miami in 1998 to join WAMI-TV, Barry Diller’s flagship station for the USA Broadcasting Network. At WAMI, Cenk served as the host of Men’s Room, a talk show focusing on young men and their often politically incorrect opinions, and Know It All, an off-beat television pilot that took a controversial look at politics, pop culture and current events. Cenk was also a regular panelist on Out Loud – a Miami version of Bill Maher’s Politically Incorrect.
On The Times, WAMI’s anchor program, Cenk began as a commentator and writer. The Times was an edgy and humorous daily news magazine show. Cenk soared up the ranks at The Times, moving to head writer and later supervising producer. At the time that USA Broadcasting was sold to Univision and the programming was cancelled, Cenk held three positions simultaneously.
Following the sale, Cenk moved to Los Angeles, CA, where he wrote for three different USA Networks shows. Soon, Cenk returned to the airwaves, starting his own show that brings his unique style and opinions to the talk radio format. The Young Turks is an amalgamation of the best of all the shows Cenk has hosted and written over the years. He hosts the show with his co-host from Know It All and the former anchor of The Times, Ben Mankiewicz, and Jill Pike.
