Cem Yılmaz surprise in Fatih Altaylı's seat

Broadcasts continue on the YouTube channel of journalist Fatih Altaylı, who was arrested and sent to Silivri Prison on charges of threatening AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Altaylı, who evaluated the agenda every morning with his program "Fatih Altaylı Comments," had the program's name changed to "Fatih Altaylı Cannot Comment" following his arrest, and a new guest is hosted every day.

The guest on today's program was famous comedian Cem Yılmaz.

In his remarks here, Yılmaz said, "I am a very loyal viewer of your channel. I wish I hadn't come today, though." he stated.

Highlights from Cem Yılmaz's statements are as follows:

"There is a phrase I remember from my school days in our country: 'under normal circumstances.' For me, a situation of 'under normal circumstances' has never existed since my youth."

I have never been at peace with this, as someone who looks at it from the outside while being part of a society that sees problems in people's relationships, even if those relationships were better than they are today, regarding the climate of the country.

By the mid-80s, we were already adolescents, and we weren't satisfied then either. As someone who produces joy, any behavior, person, institution, or action that would stifle joy in society is something I personally oppose. This automatically places us somewhere.

Since I am someone who believes a bit more in the street, I don't want to tackle this like a professional comedian.

The work I do on stage has its own rules. But when I watch your channel daily, thinking, 'Oh, Fatih brother mentioned this, and Emre asked him that.'

Wow, I just found out about what's happening in the country... Now it's time to create humor out of this,' I don't find spending that kind of effort valuable.

I am trying to capture 'under normal circumstances.' Because I don't have the power to ensure that I am not 'under normal circumstances.'

Perhaps because I am an overly individualistic person, my job is very difficult. Individualists suffer a lot during social events.

What determines the quality of a stance is thinking a little more about it and speaking up when the time comes.

The most significant impact of our work happens in these spaces. Otherwise, you just turn into someone putting out a daily bulletin. And that starts a movement of taking yourself too seriously.

I find feeling as sad as a victim of a situation more valuable than producing a joke for my profession out of it. It's like feeling sad like a real person, being bothered like a real person...

I also have complaints about Fatih; I don't want this to go into the indictment, but he has done me wrong too... Because he was asking all the questions to me. He asks the questions to me, and Nilperi (Şahinkaya) is standing there, and so on... The girl says, 'He asked you,' I answer, and the comments below say: 'Cem didn't let anyone else talk again.' Fatih Altaylı really put me in a difficult position regarding this.
