Szczepan Twardoch and Vanessa Aleksander were the featured guests on the sixth episode of "Kuba Wojewódzki," a popular Polish talk show. Twardoch, a celebrated author, took the opportunity to discuss his latest book, "Null," which was released at the end of February 2025. This book, he explained, delves into themes of war, humanity, life, death, and courage, reflecting on contemporary issues from a historical perspective.
During the show, Twardoch expressed his long-standing interest in history, particularly from the 19th and 20th centuries, stating, "As a writer, I have always dealt with history, that close history, let’s say the 19th and 20th centuries, and I thought that this was my, excuse the word, charisma. This is what I will focus on, this is my genre." However, he admitted that he never anticipated writing contemporary literature, feeling he lacked the language to describe modernity. "History has caught up with my literature. It’s not that my literature has turned to contemporaneity, but history is happening now," he noted, highlighting the relevance of current events to his work.
In addition to his literary pursuits, Twardoch shared his passion for sports, revealing that he has practiced kickboxing and muay thai for several years but has recently shifted his focus to weightlifting. He humorously remarked that he would likely decline an offer from Fame MMA, despite his athletic background.
Vanessa Aleksander, the other guest on the show, is a Polish-Slovak actress known for her role in the film "Sala samobójców. Hejter." During her appearance, she recounted a memorable phone call with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who congratulated her on her film's premiere. "I just managed to say that I was grateful. I was stressed," she shared, reflecting on the surreal experience.
Wojewódzki, known for his sharp wit, playfully noted that he had saved Aleksander's contact in his phone as "the strange Aleksander from Slovakia." To this, Aleksander responded with laughter, agreeing that it was an apt description. Their banter showcased the quick wit and repartee that often characterize the show, with both guests adeptly handling Wojewódzki's pointed questions.
Fans of the show were delighted by the episode, praising Twardoch and Aleksander for their engaging presence and clever exchanges. Comments from viewers included remarks like, "You both are great. Nice to welcome Vanessa," and "Excellent episode, I love it!" highlighting the positive reception.
Additionally, during the episode, Aleksander addressed rumors about her alleged relationship with singer Dawid Podsiadło. When prompted by Wojewódzki, she humorously responded, "Where did you get that knowledge?" after he hinted at their past relationship. She clarified, "We were a couple, maybe you got it mixed up... in 'The Office PL.'" This light-hearted exchange added to the overall entertainment value of the show, demonstrating Aleksander's charm and humor.
New episodes of "Kuba Wojewódzki" are broadcast every Tuesday at 20:55 on TVN, and they are also available on streaming platforms like Max and Player.pl. This season, the show has returned with fresh energy, new ideas, and an exciting lineup of guests, keeping viewers entertained and engaged.
Overall, the sixth episode of "Kuba Wojewódzki" not only showcased the talents of its guests but also highlighted the show's ability to blend humor with insightful commentary on contemporary issues. As Twardoch and Aleksander navigated the playful yet probing questions from Wojewódzki, they provided viewers with a memorable evening of entertainment.
