You've all heard of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, but the newest latest political news comedy is not coming out of America, but is made in Egypt. Bassem Youssef is Egypt's newest home-grown media star, who began his career in media during the Egyptian revolution on YouTube (by trade, he is a heart surgeon), when he began broadcasting from his laundry room because of a passion to make a difference and provide alternative media to the trash that the state media (aka Fox news Egypt) was throwing in people's faces. Bassem Youssef is now going from the net to a wider audience on television, with his first show B+ The Bassem Youssef show, which is a riotous look at the upheaval that is Egypt these days.
