Nor Mru Mru about censorship at Polsat. “They crossed out words they didn’t want”
“Polsat has always been the censor of all texts. There were situations when people from Polsat came to us for the festival, wanted texts, sketch previews from us and crossed out the words they did not want,” revealed Michał Wójcik. When asked whether they subjected themselves to these practices, the cabaret artists denied it. “We haven’t given up on ourselves. It’s happening at the lowest levels. A terrified publisher and editor arrives and says ‘maybe let’s do less’,” Marcin Wójcik describes the situation.
The artist added that private television has its own rules. “If the head of the company decides that he doesn’t like this employee or he doesn’t like something else, he has the right to do so. Whether it is good or bad is not for us to judge,” explains Marcin Wójcik. However, the comedian emphasizes that he expected the recent turn of events. “I think there have already been jokes that were severely hit with an axe. I had a feeling it might end like that,” he added.
Marcin Wójcik on political jokes: It’s become too much
When asked about his personal attitude to very literal jokes about politics, the comedian admitted that these were not exactly his style of jokes. He also noted that there were too many jokes about politics, which entered journalism. “As I observed, in such an entertainment program, six out of eight issues were about politics,” sums up Marcin Wójcik.
Wojewódzki, in turn, noted that this was exactly what the audience expected, judging by the high viewership results of “Cabaret Live”. “People want it, the owner doesn’t want it,” said the comedian. Wójcik also emphasized that he did not understand why his industry colleagues recorded subsequent episodes of the program when it had already been taken off the air. “This situation is strange. The cabaret community has become divided,” he noted.
