      I don’t see how he “destroyed” anyone 🤔 his argument was ad sarcasm, but he made no real valid point except “wars is bad” it’s like he doesn’t understand history and how all countries are started

    He also reminds me a bit of Robin Williams, not just his looks but some of his mannerisms and the way he is so relentlessly funny. His mind is constantly churning out jokes intertwined with astute sociopolitical observation. We are truly lucky to have him.

    We miss him a lot here in Egypt. this was a very good interview though. And yes it is very true how can you feel exiled and even estranged in your own country. Don't be fooled by his humor as he went through some tragic situations. His father was ran over by a car while crossing the street in Cairo. He was never been able to come "home" to attend his own Dad's funeral! Americans..don't take your freedom for granted.. use it and do your part.

    Almost always satire is language restricted. One comedian who is very good at his mother language would not fare well in another language, let alone most English speakers speak barely only one language (Trevor Noah one exception, but as far I know he makes Comedy only in English, even if he speaks several other language) can you imagine John steward, John Oliver, colbert being good comedians in spanish French or any other language? Youssef is great even if English is not his mother tongue. Amazing!
