I swear it's not illegal.

Ok, I have been listening and watching The Young Turks for more than a year now, and while I know some people at CNN know who Cenk and the Young Turks are, I am pissed that more people don't. I send my friends their youtube clips and they seem to resonate. So I have a plan to put Cenk and TYT on the map politically. Here it is: If anyone has a contact or a known way to promote Cenk to get on Bill Maher's Real Time on HBO that would work wonders. Bill Maher has the same sort of humor and politcal leanings as Cenk, and Cenk would be great as a leeeebral panelist. It would be especially funny to see Cenk on there with a real douche bag republican pushing their talking points. I know that Arianna Huffington has been on several times, as her and Bill are friends. Maybe she could put in a word for Cenk. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

1)-I totally agree, he'd be a great fit on Bill's show. In fact I recently commented that Cenk's best bet would be to get his own premium cable show on HBO or Showtime.

Because he's openly not the best at reading cue cards (he's much better with live, improvised talk), it'd have to be similar to what Howard Stern's show used to be, i.e. they just record the in studio radio show, but with a better set and better guests (while keeping the whole TYT crew of course).

2)-Infamous? Wouldn't we rather TYT become "famous"?  ;)

I would much rather them be infamous. They are stationed at Rebel Headquarters after all!

Doesnt Cenk have staff (none / 0)
Or an agent that is already trying to book him on shows?

But

Maybe all Cenk has to do is offer to interview Bill Maher first. Once BM see's and hear's what TYT is all about, maybe then he'd consider asking Cenk to appear on his show. ???  !!!!!

Well (none / 0)
I can't imagine it'd be that easy to get Maher to come on TYT.

But if Ana could get Maher to do a phone segment to discuss Maher's new movie (Cenk would be the perfect host to discuss it based on his views and the fact that he saw and enjoyed the movie), that just might work.
