Qasabi said he was hesitant before accepting an offer to be a judge on Arabs Got Talent, according to an Arabic daily. “In the beginning, things were a little difficult because it was the first time I participated in such a program.” Al-Qasabi said he turned down similar offers in the past because he did not like the ideas behind the shows. The star of “Tash Ma Tash” only agreed to participate in Arabs Got Talent when the show organizers convinced him he was not going to be a critic and would instead only voice his personal opinions about contestants. “I can't thank Ali Jaber and Najwa Karam enough for helping me deal with this new challenge.”
