Hussein El Emam to Arabstoday: My shows are being copied

Egyptian artist Hussein El Emam tolf Arabstoday that he is surprised that so many of his programmes are being imitated elsewhere: “I am astonished about what is happening!  All programs that I presented years ago are now being imitated in many channels like ‘Afareet Hussien’ (Hussien’s Demons) and Tricks programs," adding, “that itself does not bother me but what really bothers me is that there is no creativity.  It makes me feel as though nobody wants to make a creative effort anymore.” Despite his frustrations, he told Arabstoday that he was looking forward to the unveiling his latest projects: “I'll be back on screen with a new series called 'Wa Yaati el Nahar' (Morning Is Coming) which is directed by the great director Mohamed Fadel.  It is about the last 2 years of Mubarak’s regime, where I play a man trying to get benefits during this corrupted era.” About working with Director Mohamed Fadel, he said “I’m happy to work with director Mohamed Fadel who discovered me 10 years ago in ‘Lel Adala Wogoh Kathera’ (Justices has many Faces) with actor Yehia El Fakharany. I owe him a lot. That’s why I’m happy to work with him again.” Hussien El Emam presented many TV programs, including ‘Matigy Noros’ (Lets Dance) and ‘Afareet Hussien’ (Hussien’s Demons).  He also participated in many dramas including ‘Lel Adala Wgoh Kathera’ (Justices has many Faces) with Yehia El Fakharany, and many others.
