Ana Kasparian Biography
Ana Kasparian is one of the most popular and richest YouTube Star who was born on July 7, 1986 in Los Angeles, California, United States. She and Turkish internet personality Cenk Uygur co-hosted The Young Turks.
Anahit Misak “Ana” Kasparian (/k ə ˈ s p ær i ə n / ; born July 7, 1986) is an American political commentator, university instructor, and writer. She is the main host and a producer of the online news show The Young Turks, having begun working as a fill-in producer for the show in 2007. She also appeared on the television version of the show that aired on Current TV. She formerly hosted The Point on the TYT Network and currently co-hosts a Jacobin magazine YouTube show, Weekends with Ana Kasparian and Michael Brooks.
After becoming a fill-in host in April 2007, Kasparian became the producer and co-host with Cenk Uygur of the progressive talk radio on Sirius XM Satellite Radio and internet show/TV show The Young Turks. She was at first skeptical of her new work environment as an Armenian saying: “The Young Turks is a strange name,” but after working there the name was explained to her as: “it essentially means rebels. People who rebel against societal expectations.” She liked working at The Young Turks enough that she decided to stay in media. In fact, she was supposed to leave after two weeks but said she “kind of refused.” She was first hired on to do marketing but “weaseled” her way into doing on-air segments. Kasparian described what she liked about working at TYT: “What I loved about the show was that it was unscripted. It was raw. It was just completely unfiltered.” In a Forbes interview she also stated that she cannot pretend to be a “robot that’s always neutral.” She needs to state her opinion and sometimes “aggressively so” and TYT allowed her to do that.
She was born in Los Angeles to Armenian immigrant parents.
She worked early in her career as an assistant producer for two Los Angeles-based CBS Radio stations.
Born in Los Angeles, Kasparian is the daughter of Armenian immigrant parents. Her great grandparents on her father’s side experienced first-hand the Armenian Genocide in 1915. She was raised in the Reseda neighborhood of Los Angeles. She grew up speaking Armenian as her first language and started kindergarten without being able to speak a word of English. She has said watching Sesame Street as a child is what helped her to learn English quickly. She danced ballet from the age of 3 to the age of 19 and performed ballet professionally throughout those years. Kasparian graduated from Valley Alternative Magnet High School of Van Nuys in 2004 and California State University, Northridge (CSUN) in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism. She completed her Master of Political Science in 2010.

Kasparian has described herself as an atheist who pushes for progressive values. She wants criminal justice reform and has been a critic of private and for-profit prisons calling them “hideous institutions.” She has spoken out about campaign finance reform which is meant to get money out of politics. She gave a TEDx talk on this subject explaining a path that could be taken to achieve campaign finance reform in December 2016. She believes in free education for the United States and affordable housing. Her views on cultural appropriation as it applies to Halloween costumes have been controversial, though generally well received. During an appearance on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore in November 2015 she said, “people do stupid and offensive things all the time, and we can’t expect to be shielded from it.”

She posits that young people are interested in news, but “they see network anchors as simply folks who read tele-prompters.” This is why she believes young people are attracted to online media because there are fewer tele-prompters and people are more genuine. Kasparian and her co-host Uygur applied a populist left branding strategy that made TYT a successful global online organisation, with larger numbers of YouTube subscribers than several other notable news networks like CNN. She co-hosted TYT University, a show focused on issues faced by university students that ran from March 15, 2011 to December 31, 2014, where she first hosted with Jayar Jackson and then John Iadarola. TYT University then turned into a show called “Think Tank” debuting on January 1, 2015 with different hosts and different topics but aimed at the same demographic. The show was hosted by John Iadarola and Hannah Cranston. She was the main host of another TYT Network show, The Point, which was a panel style show with a weekly round up of news stories. Common co-hosts on The Point included: political commentator Dave Rubin, science communicator Cara Santa Maria, American actor Hank Chen, and American football player Drew Carter. However, this show came to a close by releasing its last episode on January 5, 2016. She became a part-time journalist and op-ed writer at The Raw Story news outlet in May 2015.
