Egypt’s satirist Bassem Youssef will host the 2015
International Emmy Awards. The awards ceremony will be on the 23rd
of Novembers.
For the first time in history, someone from the Middle East
is going to host the awards ceremony.
Bassem Youssef gained his widespread popularity for his
YouTube show, El-Bernameg. He gained more fame on his television show following
Egypt’s January 25 revolution in 2011.
In April, Bassem Youssef received a silver medal from the
New York Festival’s International Television and Film Awards. The medal was
awarded for his work as a television host.
He is currently a resident fellow at Harvard University’s
Institute of Politics and has been a guest star on Jon Stewart’s Daily Show
more than once.
