Program challenges and bold decision Asiri emphasized that hosting the program was a major challenge for him as a well-known producer, explaining that he hadn't expected to dare to host the program solely as a "broadcaster." He also noted that the program was not produced by him, but by Mohamed Abdel Wahab and Tarek Fahmy.

Some artists refused and the reason for the differences Assiri revealed that seven artists refused to have their episodes aired after they were filmed, including one artist who rejected the idea when she learned it wasn't just acting, but a real prank.

Dealing with and empathizing with guests Assiri said he felt embarrassed while provoking some guests, such as Fifi Abdo, Khaled El Sawy, and Wizo, stressing that he felt guilty at times, but the crew asked him to continue.

Accusations of assault and apology Assiri defended the show, saying it was clear from the start that the show's premise was based on testing guests' tolerance for provocation. He also apologized for one of his comments toward actress Asayel Mohammed, explaining that it was intended out of humility and not out of condescension.

Decision not to repeat the experiment Hassan Asiri confirmed that he would not repeat the "Broadcast" experience, noting that the concept has become so well-known that it would be difficult to implement again. However, he expressed a willingness to present a new idea that might be completely different.
