Kuwaiti comedian Tareq Al Ali sent a satirical message in English to American comedian Steve Harvey, stressing similarities and differences between the two of them, and declaring his admiration for Steve and his comedy show.
Tareq published the video on his official channel on YouTube, starting it by revealing that he doesn't speak English, so his friend translated the message and wrote the English words in Arabic.
Tareq said: "Welcome to United Arab Emirates. I like your show and I hope to see you soon. People say that I look like you but I have more hair than you only on the side not up."
"Mr. Steve, my baldness is more shining than yours, but you are shining all the world. I love you and love your program. Thank you ~ Tareq Al Ali."
It looks like the message was successfully delivered to Steve Harvey who responded to Tareq.
He started: "Well well, my man Tareq, how are you my brother?"
"I've heard a lot of good things about you. They told me that there is this man in the Arab world who's funny and he looks like me, so this is me and this is you, so congratulations from one king of comedy to another."
Harvey continued: "I'm looking forward to meeting you. Now here's a deal if you're gonna look like me, cuz I make a lot of money with these jokes. So I'm pulling for you and I'm a fan of yours now."
Steve concluded his message with a little advice to Tareq, where he said: "Keep the mustache, the mustache makes more money, everybody pays for the mustache. I love you, I hope to see you soon, I wish you the best."
Since we're talking about Steve Harvey, he couldn't help but throw one of his improvised jokes. This time he wanted to give a special message but in "made-up" Arabic, so he mumbled some gibberish letters, and concluded: "Yeah.. that's an Arab. You know what I've just said? Keep it ready baby for sure."
