Bassem Youssef got his start in comedy by uploading self-produced YouTube videos criticizing prominent Egyptian figures. He got picked up by an Egyptian channel and eventually ended up on CBC with his show "Al Bernameg". He modeled his program after the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and has even been hosted by Stewart himself. Youssef's satirical humor and unrelenting and unapologetic parodying of Egyptian politicians have made him a television sensation.

Youssef was useful to Morsi when he helped foment anti-Mubarak sentiment, but under Morsi's new Islamist-leaning constitution, it is illegal to insult government leaders. On his TV show Youssef has been seen cuddling a red fluffy pillow with Morsi's face on it while parodying his presidential speeches. An Islamist lawyer has issued a formal complaint against Youssef, and the government has launched an investigation into Youssef's alleged insults against Morsi.
