(The cynical) is correct.Early life
Yanar was born in Frankfurt, West Germany, to Turkish-Arabic immigrants from Antakya. He once told his teacher that he wanted to be a comedian, which made the teacher laugh out loud. In an interview with German talkshow host Johannes B. Kerner Yanar, he characterized his childhood as a more liberal one and that, despite his Turkish nationality, he is unable to speak Turkish. He studied phonetics, American studies, and philosophy after graduating from Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium (a Frankfurt school), but he left university prior to graduating.
