In his home country of Egypt, Bassem was the host of his own satirical program, Al-Bernameg (where he acquired recognition as the ‘Jon Stewart of the Arab World’). Before Bassem found success on television, he majored in cardiothoracic surgery, passed the United States Medical License Exam (USMLE), and joined the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS). He practiced cardiothoracic surgery in Egypt for 13 years before pivoting into comedy and political satire.
