One of the Arab countries’ most web searched celebrities in 2013, former cardiac surgeon Bassem Youssef hosted El Barnameg, a satirical news programme. He first made headlines for making fun of Mohammed Morsi on air during the president’s short tenure, but then later – following Morsi’s removal from power – for doing the same to the country’s new military rulers. They immediately filed legal complaints and summoned him to the state prosecution office. This led to the show’s cancellation, but Youssef says he hopes to be back on television screens soon.
