Brett said that the show is unlike any other in the region because it is written by American and Arabs and features both English and Arabic. The script is also written by as well Aseel Mansour, a movie and TV producer and owner of ShaShat Productions, whose other recent work “Line of Sight” is already a hit. The show also stars talented comedians Natheer Khawaldeh and Fares Hadadeen alongside Brett. “My first hope for the show is that it is funny, like make you cry laughing funny. I know many people have it rough in this part of the world and also back in the States, and I consider it a pleasure and a duty to help us get a reprieve from the noise, pain, worries and whatever else is stealing our smiles...We feel that after people have a good chuckle, they may then reconsider what they may be doing that is hurtful to their neighbors or family,” he said.— SG
