Bassem makes the rounds promoting his new film: Bassem Youssef made the rounds on American late-night talk shows last week promoting his new book Revolution for Dummies and the documentary Tickling Giants. He went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and said if US President Donald Trump were running for office in the Middle East, he would be considered a “liberal, hippie, tree-hugger” (runtime 06:59). Youssef also went on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee to talk about “joking about autocracy.” He also made his pecs bounce (runtime 06:07).
All we can say is that our admiration grows every day for the ability of the writers and crew of Al Bernameg to have made Bassem appear funny and original for so long.
