Aleš Háma, a familiar face to audiences as a charismatic moderator, is making waves with a significant departure from his usual persona. The actor has stepped into the spotlight as the lead in the popular Czech TV series ”Limits,” a role that has sparked widespread curiosity and conversation. The series delves into the complexities of a co-owner of a waste disposal company, a far cry from the polished world of television broadcasting.
Bringing a candid and insightful perspective to the project, Háma recently joined Milos Pokorný’s “Boomer Talk” podcast to open up about his journey with the role. He candidly discussed the character’s nuances and how “Boomer,” a term thrown around and questioned, is perceived by different generations. When asked if he’d ever been labeled a “boomer” by his own children, Háma shared, “when I talked to the young ones while filming, they said they almost no longer use the expression, that it was an old terminus technicus, so my children don’t use it either.”
His casting in “Limits” has surprised some viewers, who associate Háma primarily with his vibrant presence on television. Director Petr Zelenka, known for his unique vision, made a calculated choice by selecting Háma for a role that demanded a different kind of depth.Zelenka, who had already envisioned Táňa Dyková’s character (played by Nely Boudová), felt Háma’s versatility would elevate the series. “Petr zelenka came to the Komorní chalice theatre to look at one colleague at a time when the series was already written and was looking for people. As far as I know, Peter was clear in the character of Táni Dyková, but not with the cast of the main character. Then he saw me and took the number from Nely Boudová, we did not know each other well until then, we knew who was who was, but that we would be friends, certainly not,” Háma recounted, highlighting the serendipitous nature of their collaboration.
The director’s faith in Háma was evident from the start. “He told me very soon after those cameras that he wanted me in that role, but that I would need three months off and I would have to cut,” Háma revealed, emphasizing the commitment required of him. While Háma is known for his work on numerous television projects, zelenka recognized the potential to explore different facets of his talent. Háma added, “Incidentally, Petr was a very good director’s move that he occupied me, who made a lot, but most of the time were smaller, episode. And to give me certainty, he surrounded me by people who had already made clouds, which of course helped me very much, so the shooting was really great chemistry and a good bunch.”
Háma’s foray into “Limits” proves that he’s more than just a familiar face behind the podium. It’s a demonstration of his adaptability, versatility, and willingness to take on challenging roles that push his creative boundaries.

Aleš Háma: Balancing Acting and Moderating
Renowned actor and television presenter Aleš Háma recently opened up about his diverse career, navigating the challenges of landing a significant film role while balancing his popular hosting duties on the comedy show “Nightingale.”
Háma confessed that he was initially hesitant to accept the offer for this film role, initially feeling unsure about the direction and extent of the commitment. “I read the whole script and it excited me so much that at that moment I began to wish to turn out,” he shared, highlighting the captivating nature of the project.
Despite his initial reservations, Háma’s enthusiasm ultimately won over any doubts. “I suspect him that he decided to show my best friend in which he saw me and which is so very dynamic,” he noted with a hint of playful ambiguity, adding, “I did not take three days to think, because when peter called, so that he wanted me, so it was done and I was really happy about it.”
The actor acknowledged the pressure of stepping into a project with years of advancement behind it, emphasizing that he approached it with respect and obligation. “I am a big doubt in itself, the question of my abilities and of course I did not approach it with destructive stage fright, but with great respect,” he revealed, further explaining that “I knew someone was writing a series for five years and then occupy someone who fertilizes it, and I didn’t want that.”
Beyond the world of film, Háma’s ongoing partnership with Ondra Sokol on “Nightingale” continues to captivate audiences. The duo’s signature blend of sharp wit and unconventional humor has been embraced with growing popularity, especially in a cultural landscape where the lines of what’s considered acceptable humor are constantly evolving.
Háma’s candid reflections on his career choices and the evolving nature of comedy offer a compelling glimpse into the world of a versatile artist navigating the complexities of artistic expression and audience reception.

Aleš Hama: Balancing Humor and Responsibility in Comedy
Czech actor and comedian Aleš Hama is a familiar face to many viewers thanks to his popular TV show “Nightingale”. Combining sharp wit with genuine entertainment, the show has garnered both praise and criticism for its comedic approach.
Hama discusses the creative process behind ”nightingale”, describing it as an prospect for exploration and growth. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration with the director,screenwriters,and dramaturgs,learning from past seasons to refine the show’s content and pacing.
“I enjoy Hugh Jackman,” Hama reveals when asked about his comedic inspirations. “Ricky Gervais is a master of one-liners, but the sheer versatility of Hugh Jackman, with his music, singing, and dance, is incredibly inspiring.”
While ”Nightingale” thrives on humor, Hama acknowledges the responsibility that comes with it. He recounts a poignant incident where a joke about a celebrity turned tragic shortly after its airing, highlighting the delicate balance between laughter and sensitivity.
“It was an unfortunate coincidence,” Hama explains, “we genuinely didn’t know. But I personally reached out to the celebrity’s family to apologize. It served as a reminder that while humor is a powerful tool, it must always be wielded with care and respect.”
As a mainstay on Czech television, Hama’s career extends beyond comedy. He has showcased his versatility in diverse roles, both in film and theatre.
From his musical theatre debut in “Lemonade Joe” to his recent appearance as a juror on “Yoru Face Sounds Familiar,” Hama’s dedication to his craft is evident. He attributes his passion for acting and performance to a deep love for storytelling and connecting with audiences.
“There’s nothing quite like the feeling of sharing a story and seeing the audience react,” he states.
Whether he’s gracing the stage or entertaining viewers on screen, Aleš Hama remains a prominent figure in the Czech entertainment landscape, constantly pushing creative boundaries while remaining mindful of the impact his work has on others.
Spinning Through Time: A Look at Longevity in Television
Few television personalities embody longevity quite like someone who’s graced our screens for eight years, spinning seven days a week, four times a day. While dedication is admirable,it begs the question: at what point does passion morph into exhaustion?
“four parts a day are a factory,” someone remarked,highlighting the sheer volume of work involved. This relentless schedule takes its toll, leaving individuals feeling drained and disillusioned. ”At the end of the season, that is, in June, I also feel that I really have nothing to give it, and there is nothing that the project coudl give me,” confessed one veteran performer.
Despite the challenges, this individual remains committed, aiming to continue performing until age 65, stating, “my target is sixty-five years plus, I have it clearly given it – as soon as it has crutches, walker, sticks, I know they are mine, but I greatly appreciate them.” their dedication is undeniable, but the sentiment underscores the toll that prolonged exposure to a demanding routine can take.
Perhaps a change is in order. While this performer acknowledges the importance of their connection to the show, they admit, “I like it, sometimes it’s a stereotype, but I won’t make the Tony awards.” This suggests a yearning for something new, a desire to explore different creative avenues.
Ultimately, the conversation highlights the complexities of longevity in television. Balancing passion, dedication, and the inevitable weariness that comes with time is a delicate dance. Perhaps a younger perspective, as suggested, could inject fresh energy and enthusiasm into the show, ensuring its continued relevance and appeal.
The Enduring Appeal of Music: A Conversation with a Veteran Musician
At fifty years old, many musicians find themselves reflecting on their journey through the ever-evolving world of music. This is especially true for those who have witnessed seismic shifts in genre popularity and audience engagement. We sat down with a seasoned musician to discuss the changing landscape of the music industry and his evolving relationship with it.
“You know, I’ve seen a lot of changes in my time,” he began, his voice tinged with a hint of nostalgia. “but one thing that’s always remained constant is the power of music to connect people. It transcends age, culture, and even language. It has this incredible ability to move you, to inspire you, and to bring people together.”
He went on to share his fascination with the current Czech Rap and R&B scene, noting the astonishing speed at which these artists amass devoted followings.”I’m blown away by the energy and talent of these young musicians,” he said. “they’re selling out O2 Arena in days! It’s truly remarkable to witness.”
This rapid rise in popularity,however,has left him feeling a sense of separation. “While I admire their success, I also feel like an outsider sometimes,” he confessed.”At fifty, you naturally start to feel a little removed from the pulse of youth culture. It’s a natural part of life, but it doesn’t make it any less strange.”
Despite this, he remains passionate about music, expressing a deep love for the raw energy of rock and blues. “Music is more than just a genre or a trend; it’s a feeling,” he emphasized. “It’s about connection, about expressing yourself, about sharing something profound with others.”
His words resonated with a timeless truth: music has the power to unite us, regardless of our age, background, or musical preferences. As he concluded our conversation, a sense of unwavering optimism filled the air.
There’s a certain charming honesty when someone acknowledges their technophobia.Take, for instance, Jan, a professional who admits to lagging behind in the ever-evolving digital landscape. “In technology, sometimes I lag, I don’t catch up wholly. I only have Instagram and TikTok at all, it goes completely outside me, I even canceled Twitter because I haven’t managed the two networks. I guess I was a little delayed,” he confesses. While the internet’s vastness can be intimidating,Jan still recognizes its value.
“Given my profession,I consider it crucial,let’s say,let us know that we have a new theater here and that we will play with the band at the station. It seems nice to me as a good means,” he explains. He acknowledges the lucrative opportunities for those savvy in the digital realm, saying, “Despite the fact that for the more capable, not for me, there is a huge amount of money on the sidewalk and just pick them up when you are handy enough, I just have no time or potential. In that, I think I’m a little boomer. Another in my place would catch the opportunity for the hairs. Or at a time when I was thirty.” This self-deprecating humor reveals a man who doesn’t shy away from his generation’s quirks.
When asked about sharing personal content on social media, Jan responds with openness. “I don’t mind. Maybe now we were on a pig slaughter, so I ran it there.” His willingness to share even mundane aspects of his life offers a glimpse into his authenticity and down-to-earth nature. His final statement, “Just from what I said, it is indeed clear that I am a boomer,” is a playful affirmation of his identity, embracing the stereotypes associated with his generation.
Beyond the Stage Lights: A Conversation with Jan Smigmator
Jan Smigmator, a familiar face in the Czech music scene, is known for his energetic performances and engaging stage presence. Beyond the captivating lights and booming sound of his concerts, though, lies a multifaceted individual with diverse interests and aspirations. In a recent conversation, Smigmator offered a glimpse into his life beyond the stage, revealing his musings on choice paths, artistic passions, and future endeavors.
When asked about exploring other professions, Smigmator shared a hint of reflection, saying, “It occurred to me many times.And it could have happened if they did not take me to the conservatory that I would have to go to study a pedagogical school. And because we had to have two secondary schools and one apprenticeship in the application, I could have been a cook.”
Despite his musical commitments, Smigmator retains a deep recognition for classical music. “I like going to concerts and I enjoy it a lot,” he admitted. “It is indeed really rare that I have a free evening to go somewhere. I love to go to classic music and our drummer is an cymbalist in the philharmonic, so I have a source of tickets, but I don’t have time.”
Looking towards the future, Smigmator expressed a desire to explore new creative avenues.”I think too much about it, one is simply a sinful vessel, always wants what he does not, and somehow he watches. I would still play in the film, perhaps if there was a nice role, but or else in terms of profession, I do not know,” he mused.
As a testament to his unwavering passion for music and the possibilities that lie ahead, Smigmator concluded, “I think I would like to do a good recording. I have a lot of ideas, and I’m thinking about what to do with them. It’s good to have something to look forward to.”
Nostalgia for the past is a powerful emotion. It can make us cherish simple pleasures like the price of a beer in a bygone era, as one individual eloquently put it: “It is nostalgia that Pilsen cost three crowns sixty, and I am glad that I experienced it.”
However, as we reflect on the past, it’s important to remember that certain aspects, particularly interpersonal relationships, might not have aged well. The sentiment that “what the time had done with interpersonal relationships was still not compared” highlights a crucial point: nostalgia can be selective and often glosses over the darker aspects of times gone by.
in this rapidly evolving world, where technology and social interactions play a significant role, podcasts like Boomer Talk provide a engaging platform for examining the contrasts between old and new. This podcast, hosted by Miloš Pokorný, delves into the intersection of generations, using the term “boomer” not as a derogatory label, but as a jumping-off point for conversations about the changing landscape of communication.
The podcast’s premise, a playful exploration of “comparing things of new and old,” invites guests from diverse backgrounds to share their perspectives. Their insights offer a valuable glimpse into the evolution of our world and the challenges and opportunities that come with it.
Through these engaging conversations, Boomer Talk encourages us to reflect on our own experiences, navigate the complexities of generational differences, and appreciate the richness that both past and present have to offer.
How has the shift from print to digital news consumption impacted the trust readers have in journalistic sources?
The Echoes of Yesterday: A Boomer Talk with Jan Jirásek
Jan Jirásek, a seasoned journalist with decades of experience navigating the world of news and data, sits down with
Miloš Pokorný on Boomer Talk to discuss his observations of a changing world.
“Remember when local news was king?” Jirásek began, a hint of nostalgia in his voice. “Print was the primary source for most folks, and a local paper was practically a lifeline to what was happening in your community.”
Pokorný nodded in agreement. “Absolutely. The way we consume news has shifted dramatically.Now, everyone’s online, glued to their phones, scrolling through feeds. The immediacy is undeniable, but has it made us any more informed?”
Jirásek pondered this for a moment, tapping his fingers thoughtfully on the table. “That’s a complex question, isn’t it? On one hand, the world is more interconnected than ever before. We can access information from around the globe at lightning speed. But, on the other hand, the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming. And with the rise of fake news and misinformation, discerning fact from fiction has become a real challenge.”
“It reminds me of the old days when we had to carefully vet our sources,” Jirásek continued.“We relied on reputable newspapers and wire services. There was a level of trust, a shared understanding that the information being presented was accurate and reliable.”
“I wonder if that sense of trust has been eroded in the digital age,” Pokorný mused.
Jirásek nodded in agreement. “It’s something we need to think about. how do we navigate this new landscape and ensure that we’re getting accurate, reliable information?”
