Life
After he had graduated as teacher of History and Hungarian literature and grammar at Károli Gáspár University of the Reformed Church in Budapest, he worked at a secondary school as a teacher for one year. As critic of culture, media and society, he has been a regular guest in television and radio since 2004 and has had several stage appearances in the nightlife of Budapest. As free author, he has written magazine articles and essays for numerous portals, newspapers. He has been maintaining the online platform szelsokozep.com with several co-workers for several years, where i.a. his own criticisms have been published in written and audiovisual form, allowed to be discussed openly.
In 2012, he was a member of the jury in the fourth season quarter of the Csillag születik Hungarian talent show, in the wake of which he became known nationwide. His tough sentences and strict ratings made him a controversial figure, and his activity (although short-lived) implanted several fashion words and numerous phraseologisms into the Hungarian language.
He criticizes sharply, attacks (less frequently praises) various social phenomena, mainly within the field of politics, commercial television and tabloid media[1] and the advertisement as an institute endangering democracy, capitalism and human rights.[2]
He has launched discussions with reflecting more or less on public life. Meanwhile, without definitely joining the "wagon camp" of a political party or TV channel, he considers himself as an "outsider",[3] although he was close to the party called LMP,[4] therefore he helped the party by creating a campaign film,[5] but later he moved away from the party.[6]
He obtained a constant separate column in the Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet in 2015.[7]
In 2019 he was running for the position of Lord Mayor of Budapest. He finished third with 4.46% of the votes.
