Bassem Youssef, Piers Morgan agree for round two
Piers Morgan and Bassem Youssef are gearing up for a second face-off. Youssef extended the invitation on social media, suggesting a one-on-one interview in the studio without the technical glitches that marred their previous encounter.
Youssef tweeted, "Let’s have round 2 @piersmorgan. I truly enjoyed our conversation. Let’s have a one on one interview in the studio over coffee and without a faulty ear piece. Who could have imagined? Until last March I was blocked by you on Twitter (I deserved it). You were very gracious…"
"As I said : I HATE your views Piers. But talking to you is an absolute joy. Let’s do it again on @PiersUncensored. #Piers_vs_Bassem The Sequel. People of X. Retweet if you want to see this. Let’s have a “Halloween” themed episode."
Morgan replied to the tweet with: "Done."
This tweet comes just two days after the first interview which focused on Gaza. The interview got over 15 million views on YouTube.
Morgan tweeted earlier Friday: "15 million views now for my interview with @Byoussef - making it the most-watched interview I’ve done since the launch of @PiersUncensored."
