Dr Bassem Raafat Mohamed Youssef (Arabic: باسم رأفت محمد يوسف, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [ˈbæːsem ˈɾɑʔfɑt mæˈħæmmæd ˈjuːsef]; born 22 March 1974) is an Egyptian-American comedian, television host, actor and former physician. Beginning his career with The B+ Show (2011), which was inspired by his experiences during the 2011 Egyptian revolution, he later rose to prominence as the host of El Bernameg (2011–2014), a satirical comedy show focused on Egyptian politics. In 2015, Youssef hosted the 43rd International Emmy Awards in New York City.
In 2013, Youssef was named on the Time 100 and on Foreign Policy's 100 Leading Global Thinkers. His life and career were profiled in the 2017 American documentary film Tickling Giants, and he also authored the book Revolution For Dummies that same year. In 2023, Youssef drew international media attention after engaging in a virtual interview on the British talk show Piers Morgan Uncensored to discuss the October 7 attacks and the ensuing Gaza war in the context of the broader Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

L Brown analysis says Pres Nixon's present campaign to win public support through TV, as exemplified by his 2 most recent news confs, is being regarded by many in communications field as primer on effective use of medium by 1 with almost unlimited access to it; says they point out that both appearances were before groups whose sympathies for Pres were assured in advance, the Exec Club of Chicago and Natl Broadcasters Assn, and their appreciation of Pres, indicated by exuberant applause for his most emphatic statements, may well have impressed TV viewers that Nixon was scoring telling points on every issue; holds news-conf format, which in Houston context seemed to pit lone man against battalion seeking to draw blood, lent itself well to what Nixon is apparently trying to achieve, namely a reversal of his declining popularity and credibility with public; says format permits him to speak informally on range of issues and represents Pres as accessible, candid and occasionally witty, which are important counters to his reputation as loner; says news conf makes for better TV show than speech as format has elements of drama, suspense and occassionally comedy (L)
