JEDDAH: Five days was enough for Nasser Al-Qassabi to fill Ramadan with his presence.

Al-Qassabi threw a pile of stones into large areas of still water that needed to be stirred up. His comments on Twitter stirred a huge response whose echo increased day after day. The fallout from his first episode of Selfie had barely stabilized when the rest of the episodes followed, tackling sensitive issues that touch our society one way or another.

We can say that Al-Qassabi tweeted outside the norm after he shone on satellite television and through Twitter. He found an exceptional presence in the minds of the Gulf audience, who look forward to new episodes, especially since Selfie tackles sensitive and detailed issues.

Al-Qassabi plunged into his program with transparency that overflowed through Al-Shiryan show in an unprecedented manner, and removed the mystery that surrounded the life of the famous Saudi comedian. He revealed intimate details that were not known to many of his fans.

Dawood succeeded in befriending Al-Qassabi and discussed his private life in a new angle that hadn’t been dealt with before in the media, while Al-Qassabi perfected the art of manipulating the dialogue through anticipation and calmness on one hand, and by escalation and striking sensitive notes on the other.

Al-Qassabi was known as Nweisir during his childhood. He was proud of his upbringing which was characterized by variation, which polished his character and caused his star to rise high.

Al-Qassabi reached his 50th year without the companionship of his friend Abdullah Al-Sadhan, who seemed to be the biggest loser in leaving the Tash program. Al-Qassabi left the routine of the most famous Saudi program, and was free from the routine issues it discussed and was able to bring up sensitive issues in a distinguished and pleasing manner.

Through Al-Shiryan program, Al-Qassabi was free of all restrictions related to directors and launched the reigns for his spontaneity, presenting an entertaining show that earned the admiration of critics and twitterati, reports Okaz.
