Who's the other side of the "Tucker Coin" surely, if Tucker is a right wing popular pundit, there's a left wing one?

What I find interesting is on the web/youtube/podcast circuit there are lots of people who want to be contenders for the "opposite of popular right wing pundit" title, who are willing to be extremely hyperbolic and intentionally misinterpret or straight up smear the opposite side, but that kind of thing just doesn't have the same kind of "outrageous sound bite" audience on the left. So they're perpetually stuck on youtube. Cenk from TYT comes to mind.

John Oliver is pretty close, except premium channel. And Colbert or Seth Meyer play at one but they only do it for a few minutes a night, it's not an hour of their opinions.

Edit: On the flip side, if TYT has 5.17 million subscribers on youtube, and tucker gets 3.21 million viewers on average, which is the more popular/more widespread pundit? If subscription numbers are a fair representation of viewership then Cenk really is a great example of a left wing Tucker. You're just not going to find a left wing pundit on cable or mainstream news because they're too afraid of being called biased.
