''[[The Young Turks]]'' is a radio and internet [[Talk Show]] hosted by Cenk Uygur (pronounced Jenk Yu-gur), who is (as you might expect) Turkish-American (he was born in Istanbul). The name is a play on the [[wikipedia:Young Turks|Young Turks]] of the late Ottoman Empire, and the figurative use of the term for the [[Old Guard Versus New Blood|youngsters challenging the old guard]] (in this case, of the liberal establishment). Other co-hosts and helpers include Ben Mankiewicz, Jayar Jackson, Jesus Godoy, Dave Koller, Wes Clark Jr, Teresa Strausser, RJ Eskow, and Micheal Shure. Ana Kasparian (who is, somewhat amusingly, Armenian-American) co-hosts during the third hour, which focuses on pop culture instead of politics.
On 21 September 2011, Cenk announced that he would be starting a television version of the show, ''The Young Turks with Cenk Uygur'', on Current TV later in the year.
