Bassem Youssef Is Still Laughing (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Bassem Youssef is a brave, funny, famous comedian often called the Jon Stewart of Egypt. Famed across the Arab world. He was there in the thick of the Arab Spring, when uprising and hope swept the region. When Jon Stewart himself came to Cairo to be on his show. And when it all began to come apart. Now, Bassem Youssef is in exile in the USA. Still looking at the Arab world, but also looking at us, Americans. Our travel bans and hopes and fears. This hour, On Point: Bassem Youssef, and the world. — Tom Ashbrook
