Kazimiera Szczuka (born 22 June 1966 in Warsaw) is a Polish literary historian, literary critic and television personality, known from the Polish edition of The Weakest Link.

Szczuka is a member of the Greens 2004 party, advocate of gay rights and supporter of pro-choice rights for women.[1] She is a member of the Programme Council of the green political foundation the Green Institute.[2]

In March 2006, Szczuka satirized on a TV programme[3] a young woman who frequently recites prayers on Radio Maryja, claiming to not know that the woman used a wheelchair. Despite Szczuka's public apology, she was found guilty of "insulting a disabled person and mocking her religion" by the Polish National Broadcasting Council, and the station on which she had appeared was fined 500,000 PLN.[4]

Szczuka complained later, "They hate me because I'm a feminist, I'm Jewish — mostly because I'm a feminist" in an interview for The New York Times[5] and International Herald Tribune.[6]

She works for TVN24 in Wydanie drugie poprawione. She has worked since 2003 for TVN in "Najsłabsze Ogniwo" (the Polish version of The Weakest Link) and in Dwururka.
