Overview

Hishmat In the White House is a comedy series built on an audacious premise: Heshmat, an Egyptian expatriate living in the United States, runs for president — and wins, becoming the first person of Egyptian descent to occupy the Oval Office. The series mines its humor from the culture clash between Heshmat's Egyptian background and the bewildering machinery of American political power, as he navigates a world utterly unlike anything he grew up with. Equal parts political satire and fish-out-of-water comedy, the show uses Heshmat's improbable rise to comment on Arab identity in America and the absurdities of political life.
