Bassem Youssef, a physician turned satirist has emerged as the “Jon Stewart of Egypt.” Shocked by the state media’s inaccurate coverage of events in Tahrir Square, Dr. Youssef made his own video-taped report from the site of the demonstrations that toppled Egypt’s government. It went viral via YouTube and he has since been offered his own television show, where he applies his sardonic wit to the coverage and analysis of events that are changing the world. He will bring his satire and his point of view to the GPF. Bassem Youssef, Host, The Bassem Youssef Show
