While in Egypt, Jon Stewart visits his comedic counterpart Baseem Youssef (In Arabic)
Comedian and talk show host Baseem Youssef has really pissed off the Egyptian government with the kind of sharp, witty political commentary that has made Jon Stewart a star in the US… even after the Arab Spring uprisings, those in power in Egypt can’t really take a joke. So after Youssef had appeared a couple times on The Daily Show, while Jon Stewart is off making a movie in Egypt, he stopped by Youssef’s show to return the favor, and even though it’s in Arabic, the whole way Stewart comes out is brilliant. Also, Jon Stewart has a beard now, which I hope he never gets rid of, but he probably will.
