Albasheer Show (Arabic: البشير شو) is an Iraqi news satire and talk show telivision program, which airs each Friday on DW Arabia and NRT Arabia.
Hosted by Ahmed Albasheer, the show first premiered on August 30, 2014 on Al-Shahid Al-Mustaqil and Youtube until the end of season 1. The second season wasn't aired on a telivision network but was aired only on Youtube. The third season was agreed to air on DW Arabia and Al-Sumaria but the latters managed to air only two episodes before it was shut down.[1][2][3] NRT Arabia started airing the show, along with DW Arabia, since June 24, 2016.[4]
Being heavily based on the American show, The Daily Show, and the Egyptian show, Al-Bernameg, Albasheer Show draws its comedy and satire from recent news stories, political figures, media organizations, and often uses self-referential humor as well. It typically opens with a long monologue, relating to recent headlines and frequently features exchanges with one or more correspondents, who adopted absurd or humorously exaggerated takes on current events against the presenter's straight man persona. The final segment was devoted to a celebrity interview, with guests ranging from actors and musicians to nonfiction authors and political figures.
