Kaya Yanar (born 20 May 1973) is a German comedian, best known for his comedy show Was guckst du?!

[1] Yanar was born in Frankfurt am Main, West Germany, to Turkish immigrants from Antakya.

He also presented the ZDF show "Kaya Yanar testet Deutschland – die Multi-Kulti-Show (2007)" as part of a theme week focusing on integration.

Because of his great success being without precedent for an artist with Turkish migration background in the German-speaking countries at the time of his appearance, Yanar is considered as a key figure and trailblazer for the acceptance of multicultural issues.
