- Chicago Ideas presented Bassem Youssef in conversation with Gigi Pritzker, seeing the pair parse Youssef's process, both then and now, with Youssef detailing a comedian's role in social and political activism.
watched him on piers morgan show recently and this guy is amazing. Very intelligent and funny. He changed my perspective about Palestine completely
I totally agree with you
He is one of the most popular comedian in Arab world.. He is a brave fella
It was amazing
I don’t see how he “destroyed” anyone 🤔 his argument was ad sarcasm, but he made no real valid point except “wars is bad” it’s like he doesn’t understand history and how all countries are started

He also reminds me a bit of Robin Williams, not just his looks but some of his mannerisms and the way he is so relentlessly funny. His mind is constantly churning out jokes intertwined with astute sociopolitical observation. We are truly lucky to have him.
@mlester72- Yes. You are right. There is something of Robin Williams in him even though I cannot explain what exactly it is.
They share a Humanitarian sparkle carried by the craft of comedy & laughter
Its treu bro even the same funny his voice is the same
The Egyptian people are recognized for their distinct combination of seriousness and humor, which they maintain even during challenging periods
As a neighbour of Egypt I can say 💯% true
True
True. I as an Arab confirm that
Didn't he have to leave Egypt for his safety?
@@ChrisCornell-j9uyes, and very fast.
Bassem is not just a stand up comedy presenter or a doctor , he is very well educated & well bred , have a high sense of humor personality. Very humble & we all love him
Well bred like he is blue eyed? No bad genes?
@@MC-ny7iw lol i think she meant well raised
Humble. Now that is a joke.
@@angelakostiuk1409shouldn't you be harassing a barista or something?
Bassem is perhaps the best satirist I've seen.❤
Bassem has been around for ages! I’m happy to see people watching again! He’s amazing!
Never heard of him only saw him on Piers’s show . What a talented and one million character. You make me proud You make humanity proud.
جزاك الله خيرا
I love how his straight up and not giving you bs. We need more people like him in the world.
Amazing same thing happened to me he totally changed my perspective concerning Israeli Palestinian conflict. I saw the Piers Morgan show and I saw it more than at least 3 times and every time I laughed to death. Greetings from Ethiopia
YAHsome.
I LOVE Ethiopia❤
Always.
Who's here after he destroyed Piers Morgan on his own show?
me😂😂😂😂😂
🙋🏻♀️😂❤️
Present
😜🤙🏽
ME!
This guy being your doctorm is like having Dr. House. A lot of dark humor.
I remember being in the 8th grade learning about the Arab Spring in New Jersey while it was happening, in school. Funnily, we were educated through Bassem Youssef videos!
Thank you Bassem for teaching the world with laughter!
He present the real Arab personality sad, honest and broken from inside.. reminding me with this poetry:
think that I am dancing among you as a joy,
for the bird is dancing slaughtered from the intensity of pain!
~Abu al-Tayyib al-Mutanabbi( great Arab poet)
He is a surgeon? A Comedian Doctor, he is a genius
Yeah heart surgeon
YAHbsolutely.
❤
i felt very emotional when he said both my parents are dead and the success i made in Egypt is taken away from me :(
Where is the part
@@nooraqueen2716 i know it's 3 years later, but here : 21:09
Thank you Bassem habibi for slapping piers Morgan 🎉
Bassem for President ( of any Country ) !!!!!!!!!!
We miss him a lot here in Egypt. this was a very good interview though. And yes it is very true how can you feel exiled and even estranged in your own country. Don't be fooled by his humor as he went through some tragic situations. His father was ran over by a car while crossing the street in Cairo. He was never been able to come "home" to attend his own Dad's funeral! Americans..don't take your freedom for granted.. use it and do your part.
Americans..don't take your freedom for granted.. use it and do your part.
ACTUALLY
WESTERNERS .don't take your freedom for granted.. use it and do your part.
well every country needs a persona like him ,,, i am an indian and i am willing to trade 100's of news anchors just to have 1 jon stewart or basseem ,,,
In my opinion, freedom to speak out about injustice equals a moral duty to do so, as so many do not have the right or ability to speak.
...I'm weird.
to me and a lot of my generation Bassem is the only real idol we have and he will always be like that
your brainwashed
Maxmud Xareed says the one who is brainwashed
@@maxmudxareed1345 you support Trump or al sisi????
لا معقود الا الله وحده لا شريك له
وباسم حبيبنا الجدع ❤
It's pretty hard to be successful and display the kind of grace Bassem does. I'm impressed
Bassem we miss you like a family member. I hope one day our Egypt will welcome you as a son and that you feel the warmth of her bosom. But for now, stay away and safe, your teaching has nested and brought fruits.
That's a FOR SURE❤
I came late to this party and this man. I must apologise and bow before the greatness of Bassem. He may have been inspired by JS but his courage is undeniable and should be celebrated from the top of every minaret across the world and each TV station. Thank you Bassem.
A million of likes from an Egyptian in Nigeria.
Bassem is really my ideal,he inspires me .I'm so proud that we 've such a great man in Egypt .He was banished away from his homeland just cuz he wanted a true democracy.
There is no true democracy, go back to ancient Athens if you want true democracy
love from India! Keep the spirit of satire alive, Sir.
Arabic
@@mariamalheeny4106 he knows that ,,, he is jsut saying love from india ,,
I hope we get someone like him in India.
We have similar conditions growing in India.
👍👍👍
how is it now in India?
@@bobobobo3142Political conditions? Pretty bad
Yes We do have Kunal kamra
@@bobobobo3142Getting worse
❤ humanity is open minded for wise free people like u thanks
I'm really proud of you.. for what you did in Egypt when everyone just did what they have told to and i really miss your show..hope you have a good life with your wife and daughter and your book will be famous one day.
And by the way i really liked the host she's smart and a good listener with interesting questions and a good smile :)
a thousand likes from Egypt
Fancy having him as your doctor, it would be wonderful. As long as you didn’t have a really bad condition! If you did you could pass over laughing! I’ve just discovered this gentleman and I think he’s amazing! From the UK..
Never too late Bassem detour to Kuala Lumpur. I promise you will not be disappointed
Amazing... different dynamic than the pierce morgan interview, understandbly given the gaza genocide... you can feel with pierce hes trying to shed new light on an old issue but here he was more relaxed and showed how his thinking process was very practical..
Amazing man. Find so much relatable as an Indian.
Almost always satire is language restricted. One comedian who is very good at his mother language would not fare well in another language, let alone most English speakers speak barely only one language (Trevor Noah one exception, but as far I know he makes Comedy only in English, even if he speaks several other language) can you imagine John steward, John Oliver, colbert being good comedians in spanish French or any other language? Youssef is great even if English is not his mother tongue. Amazing!
so true. also he’s not fluent but jon stewart had a hilarious bit in arabic when he came on bassem’s show in egypt
We miss him a lot, miss being heard!
From egypt... We proud of you❤️
I know it must be hard for you that he had to leave but I thank you for sharing him with the world, especially where we need his perspective on what is happening with the Palestinian people.🙏
@@swisskiwi1478❤
So inspirational
Rabeb Jrad Yeah I totally agree with you 👏👏
I completely agree with "my advice is not to take anybody's advice". Each one of us is unique with a unique experience bound by our senses and perception of time and place "reality"
I came to know this man after he pierced the Morgan 😅
باسم يوسف كان لة برنامج رائع فى التليفزيون فى مصر كان يسمى برنامجة باسم البرنامج وكان رائع يمكنك البحث عنه لن تملى من الضحك
What a legend.
Mr. Bassan wishes we had more like u god bless you
Wow.. he was a cardiothoracic surgeon too? This dude is doing a loooot more with his life than me
There's a time for everything (and everyone's own destiny) under the sun❤
Mr.Bassem..you are superb.❤
not getting too much along with his ideas but listening to him is so amazing each time each interview is so fantastic and I like the way he is being so funny.
And of course I'm really missing his Friday show it was a phenomenal one ..
He is looking better with full beard. 🙂
Thank you all ❤
I am really tired.. over whelmed.. and just need to settle down abit.. 😊
I think you all are too..
So I will rest today.. if you need me I am here.. but I think we should 'all' rest today..
Just please.. no more blood 😢😢
So brilliant, thanks for the interview good job👏
Bassam what I love is honesty coupled with the wit to which there is no rejoinder
Genuinely and YAHbsolutely TRUE❤
Youssef explaining living in Egypt i felt like he is explaining life living in Pakistan in 2023
This guy is good I feel his pain you’re off the hook bro welcome to America buddy
We miss you and the show 😔😞
Would love to have him in India
I love Bassem Youssef ❤❤❤
Amazing talk, thnx a lot for the interview
Bassim you are amazing may Allah bless you and your family ❤ I am an old fan since your early UA-cam days you were always so talented and extremely funny
I believe you are Robin Williams of the Middle East. Unique human beings that make God laugh.
Why can’t he just be the unique person he is- an Egyptian!
@@ssb1056 He's truly one-of-a-kind, especially when it comes to his talent as a comedian. He even humorously likens himself to the 'John Stewart of Egypt.' His quick wit is exceptionally distinctive and brings to mind the comedic brilliance of Robin Williams. So, relax, it's meant as a compliment, not a detraction.
Thanks for uploading
great talk
Since 2011 B Y still cracking the best jokes
This man is a super genius.
The only good thing about Piers show is that he gave us a chance to discover Bassem talent, weldone Bassem
STILL HERE ENJOYING
An absolute Egyptian source of pride
YAHbsolutely❤
A brilliant comedian 😂 A philosopher 🤔 A warm hearted humanitarian 😌 And the guy is cardio thoracic surgeon 🤨 I have sooooo wasted my life😂😂😂
love your interview with piers Morgan show. he deserved to be humbled thank you very much.
He should do his show on UA-cam from la.
''PPl who won't acknowledge facts if they disagree with their ideology''. I was looking for that statement.
Rather than admit they have been forever fooled, most go on be-lie-ving whatever it is they have been conditioned to accept.
We have to live with it.
For now

True, its the foolish pride of a spoiled child who is too lazy to learn.
برافو باسم استمر .. الحياه ما بتوقف
Sense of humor full of wit is an égyptien trait across the board. Bassem retained the heritage in a likely adulterated environment in the region.
He is brilliant
I’m saudi and I miss his show too
The Differentiation of Culture and Propaganda is Education versus Distraction ❤️💚💜
Smart guy and very talented it very weird he has no chance in his land-home but it’s Arabic countries unfortunately
We don't want him back actually
Totally agree about Mango... the MANGO you eat is cucumber.
We miss you man
Somebody come look at this!!
Yes
I miss your show
Love u basem and Miss your show
Good job Bassem continue
Mirrors don't lie and lucky for you Bassem, they don't laugh.
I would make a joke about your life Mr Youssef but I see life already beat me to it.
He said he miss Egypt but HIS Egypt is not there anymore. I too miss my Egypt (I studied in Cairo) but I discovered in 1980 that my Egypt has long gone. So Bassem misses a country I don't even miss.
You are the best of the best.
O_O
Coming from his interview with piers
Lol love mango 😁
Never tasted an eygyptian mango though
They are in a class of their own! Delicious.
Good man who speaks only truth & has the incredible ability to use comedy & humor when supporting Palestine 🇵🇸 👏 👍
Amazing Bassem
the host is amazing
Good stuff!
Bassem I'm with you with almost everything but for the record, there is an Egyptian show called Jo show aired from turkey that is getting millions of view and it is doing the same things you did with no limits because it is aired from Turkey not from Egypt
faisal aldahere it's nice but a bit dull and very biased to the muslim brotherhood.. but it's not bad
Its not funny
we miss u dr bassem
I think what's most character is the host, they make the guest look like a show animal.
That's more viewers than every Twitter account has. Even she can't think for herself, just follow the medias lead.

yeah
Kind of every thing he says
resonates with me..
I wa s touristing in 2012 in Egypt, twice, actually ...Feb and then two months later
The atmosphere was kind of electric
Bit contradictory, too..i mean
@35:00 the island were Saudi to begin with it was temporary given to Egypt to help during the war of 1967 in Jamal AbduAlNasser days
And still under the Egyptian military control
gorgeous man!
beautyful INSIDE and OUTSIDE
You are smart so smart
Bassam love you stay Bassam and alive
Nice guy!!
I guess he didn’t know freedom of expression was already a casualty on social media
You think freedom of expression exist on social media?? What app has this exactly plz?
@@da7war655 you may want to read my comment again , I think we share the same view point
Look at America you can't even protest on college campuses
عسوله يا باسم
This is for them to buy the book 😂
The mango thing I understand completely!!! The mangoes in usa are terrible!
