Marek Eben infuriates the public with his “jokes” in StarDance. They seem inappropriate and racist to people

Moderator Marek Eben, which has recently been heard mainly as one of a pair of contestants StarDance … when the stars dance, faces public criticism because of his allusions during the broadcast.

A wave of resentment has risen on social networks over his “jokes”, which to some seem not only inappropriate but also sexistické or racist. In the hall, where popular celebrities and dancers compete, however, everyone laughs at his commentary and applauds him together.

“I must say that Tereza Cernochova is unteachable. She performed in the girl band Black Milk, which would be something completely unacceptable today. Black Milk group with singer Černochová, absolutely incorrect name, “ Eben stated in the latest episode of StarDance to the address of the singer Tereza Černochová, forming a dancing couple with Dominik Vodička.

“But if Tereza thinks that the Monkey Business group or the Monkey Business with the singer Černochová is more correct, then it’s not.” mentioned the moderator after the dance couple’s tango. Černochová, who is the frontwoman of the Monkey Business group, also replaced the singer Tonyu Graves, a dark-skinned singer who also performed in the competition before.

This controversial statement began to resonate with the media after the end of the show, some of which described it as incorrect. But there has been a much bigger debate on social media, in which it has been pondered how it is possible that allusions to Eben still going through.

“I played StarDance for five minutes to laugh at Mark Eben. At first good he reported a joke to Tereza Černochová, Black Milk, let alone Monkey Business hahah, and how unthinkable it is in today’s incorrect times. I’m happy. I’m shutting down. Thanks, hi. “ journalist Eva Soukeníková wrote to Eben’s address.

Classy humor

Marek Eben has been the moderator of the show since 2006, and in the past he has spoken several times in a way that can at least be described as incorrect. criticism Kamil Fila marked in 2019 on his blog his statements for sexistické. He said of Eben that he was slowly becoming part of the “old iron”.

“Marek Eben considers the general audience to be a model of sophistication and nobility, because his jokes are never completely original, underbelly or vulgar. Unfortunately, this does not mean that they are imaginative, revealing, apt, or even – if you can say that the jokes are ‘correct’, “ wrote Fila.

“There are countless cases in which stupid sexism flashes behind the kind tone of his questions and comments, manifested, for example, in the ostentatious assessment of women’s appearance. When he told the dancer Natalia Otáhalová that her name full of long vowels accurately described what she looked like, that she had long legs, unlike some ‘Božena Buchtová’, who would certainly be short and sick, she looked at him in disbelief and asked: ‘Was that supposed to be a compliment?’ the critic continued.

Eben president

Although there is tangible evidence of Eben’s frequent overstepping, incorrect “humor” and allusions, watching the competition show his presence on the show, judging by the enthusiastic laughter and applause, still enjoying. In a STEM / MARK survey of citizens’ wishes, who should be the next president, Eben even appeared in second place next to Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (YES).

“In the previous stages, for example, the unexpected name of Mark Eben, who is now on the divided first place, aroused a response. This may be partly due to political anger. According to him, Mr. Eben himself excludes the candidacy, but as we can see, he would be a very relevant candidate in terms of a possible election result. “ Jan Burianec commented on the STEM / MARK analysis result.

REFRESHER tried to find out how Czech Television responds to Eben’s problematic statements. However, the editorial staff did not receive an opinion.
