Al-Bernameg (Arabic: البرنامج, known in Egypt as El Bernameg,[1] pronunciation: [elberˈnæːmeɡ], literally "The Show") was a controversial [2][3] Egyptian news satire program.

[4] Later moved to Saudi-owned on the free-to-air channel MBC Masr and reruns are aired on Deutsche Welle; Bassem Youssef announced on 2 June 2014 that the show was cancelled.

Bassem Youssef visited The Daily Show as a guest in June 2012 and April 2013, while Stewart, on hiatus from his own hosting duties, returned the favour on 25 October 2013.

Radio Theatre, which is owned by Al-Ismailia for Real Estate Investment, underwent a massive renovation process to transform it into a live audience studio for the show while maintaining the aesthetics of the architecture and the interiors of the historical building.

The show's format evolved to include three segments, starting with Youssef's usual witty and humorous observations on current events, sketches performed by the team, and ending with guests from the entire political spectrum, music bands and artistic talents.

Al-Bernameg also enjoyed diversity in its audience every week, including public figures such as Hamdeen Sabahi, Yosri Fouda, Elissa, Assala Nasri, Ziad Rahbani and Angham.

Soon after the show started airing, complaints were filed against it and its host, with accusations of insulting Islam, President Morsi and disrupting public order and peace.
