Learn the ropes and brush up on your facts for this new episode of Go Fact Yourself!
Cenk Uygur is the creator of the progressive news network The Young Turks. Before that, he was an on-camera personality for MSNBC. He’ll tell us how his old gig helped him understand why he needed to make a space for news and information. Plus we’ll learn why it took so long for him to finish his first book, and why he’s convinced that the United States is a progressive country.
Niccole Thurman is known for her roles in comedy. Her latest work includes voicing several characters on the HBO series “Jellystone” and appearing on many episodes of “The Opposition with Jordan Klepper” – but she actually didn’t intentionally pursue comedy. She’ll explain that, plus tell us the odd circumstances that led her dog Izzy to join us on stage.
Our guests will answer trivia about cows and snakes in the oddest of places.
