The Young Turks/Characters

Ana Kesparian

 * Catch Phrase: DRAMS!! Gettin' a little "jelly jelly" (jealous). Strikeback.
 * Spin-Off: The main female co-host in the original TYT channel, Ana is now the host of TYT University.

Ben Mankiewicz
"Ben:"I'm rooting for a German; that's how much I hate the Heat.""
 * All Germans Are Nazis: Implied to be a belief of his, though he seems to poke fun at it more than anything else.
 * Nice Jewish Boy: Absolutely turned on its head here. Ben can be one of the harshest movie critics I've ever seen.
 * Number Two
 * Jerkass: Sometimes. Notably, Ben's views of soccer's lack of popularity in America typically reach jerk ass level. Ben has become notorious for his "Trash Soup" comment during the review of the documentary 'Waste Land'.
 * Take That: And a double-whammy, at that.

Michael Shure

 * Growing the Beard: Both literally and figuratively. Beforehand he was just a guest host that would occasionally show up to fill-in whenever Cenk was away. He was also fairly forgettable. He started growing a beard about 6 months ago that everyone on the show talks about now (most notably, Ana admitted that she thought the beard was sexy) and has recently become more prominent as the host of spin-off show Twenty Twelve and on the Current show as the "Epic Politics Man".

Richard Eskow

 * Cool Old Guy

Wesley Clark Jr.

 * Cluster F-Bomb:: Definitely not afraid to unleash one. Played to hilarious effect in his rant against Andrew Breitbart (provoked by Breitbart suggesting that a new civil war would be a good idea because conservatives allegedly outnumber and outgun liberals): all of the profanity was bleeped out except for the "fuck you" at the very end.

Jayar Jackson

 * Scary Black Man: Usually not, just don't try to break into his house. Seriously, don't.

Rick Strom

 * Spin-Off: He's currently the main host for TYT Sports
 * What the Hell, Hero?: When he called Ben out for dissing soccer in the aforementioned video, which was merged with "The Reason You Suck" Speech.

Jill Pike

 * Decoy Protagonist: Somewhat; she was the main female co-host, before Ana came along, though she's gone MIA right now.
 * Meganekko

Dave Koller

 * The Eeyore

Tom Hanc

 * Butt Monkey: Mostly in the members-only section.

Misty Kingma and Jacki Bray

 * Replacement Scrappies
 * Spin-Off: Misty is now the main host for TYT Interviews.
 * Those Two Chicks
