Ze Big Night Show Wiz Khalid Abo Al-Naga

I rarely watch TV, and when I get a chance to do so, I only browse through the Showtime Channels and sometimes MBC. I've forgotten that some Arabic channels exist too. Yesterday when I came back home around the afternoon, my mom had Dubai TV on. There was this show called "Al Layla Al Kabeera ma3a Khalid Abu Alnaja, " which means "The Big Night Show with Khalid Abu Alnaja." It's an Arabic version of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and to be frank, it's ridiculous. The show does not only use the Idea of Jay's show, but Khalid actually imitates Jay's moves and facial expressions. I didn't bother watching the rest of it, because I thought Khalid is a dull version of Jay Leno. Personally, I think Jay wasn't as funny as before, but I still enjoy watching his shows when he hosts some great celebrities.

What makes me laugh at the Arabic version is when they write "fikrat wa i3dad" which means the Idea was by.... and there's some guy's name written. I guess he was too lazy to think of a creative show to present to the Arabic Audience.

What keeps those people from innovation? Are they too lazy, or just too scared to present new ideas to our culture? It's sad to see the same advertisements over and over everywhere I go, with a different company logo, or even seeing the same logo with a different company name.

Someone told me, that there are no more ideas left in the world, that's why you see that some logos are similar. I completely disagreed with him. The human mind is brilliant, it just needs to get working. There is a variety of endless ideas in everyone's mind. The challenge here is how to apply such innovation.

Correct me if I'm wrong about the Show and watch it on Dubai TV Sundays at 9:30 pm. The re-run is Thursdays 5:00 pm.
