of the show was announced at 7 p.m. EST (M–F) on the network beginning sometime in the fourth quarter of 2011. The show on Current TV ended on August 15, 2013, with the end of all live programming on Current TV. In May 2018, The Young Turks launched its own TV format 24 hour channel on YouTube TV which includes both live and prerecorded programming. Uygur hired his nephew Hasan Piker to work for the show. MSNBC As a result of exposure on the Air America radio network, MSNBC hired Uygur as a contributor and substitute anchor for the network on October 21, 2010.

Several Supreme Court rulings (1976, 1978, 2010) on campaign finance motivated Uygur in the midst of the Occupy Wall Street movement to launch a long-term project, a political action committee named Wolf-PAC on October 19, 2011, in New York City. Wolf-PAC aims to lobby state legislators to pass resolutions calling for a Convention of the States under Article V of the US Constitution. Its slogan is "A super-PAC to end all super-PACs". The aim of the convention would be to pass an
