I love him for making Piers Morgan look like the ineffectual, impotent twit he is, but I’m not alone. Egyptian-American comedian Bassem Youssef is no stranger to admiration, having been named among the Time Magazine most influential list for 2013, awarded the International Press Freedom Award by the CPJ, and being chosen by Foreign Policy magazine as one of the global thinkers during the same year. Fiercely intelligent and with wit to make it palatable, he never fails to make me laugh, or make me think. – Adhamh Ó Caoimh
