The Young Turks (Tyt) is unveiling tonight the latest original set to air on its just-launched Twitch channel.

The progressive digital news network is premiering Common Room -- a non-political interview series that will live exclusively on Twitch. Common Room will feature Tyt hosts and friends having a conversation over drinks in what Tyt is billing as a digital campfire of sorts. Each episode will break down the week’s top news stories in realms like movies, music, gaming, and relationships.

Rotating hosts will include Tyt staples like Ana Kasparian, Jayar Jackson, John Iadarola, Brett Erlich, and Rick Strom. New episodes will arrive on Twitch on Mondays at 10 pm Et. Eventually, Tyt plans to offer 12 hours of exclusive content on Twitch every month. Common Room joins another Twitch-exclusive, Between Me And Uygur, in which Tyt co-founder Cenk Uygur and a guest will discuss life in quarantine.

Since then, I've been joined on this lonely island by The Plumline's Greg Sargent, and now, The Young Turks' Jayar Jackson, who explained, last night, that he didn't think Santorum said "black people," but more importantly, that the issue is somewhat moot.
