In his prank show episodes, which are aired during Ramadan, Galal's guests are seen in fear for their lives. He has pranked famous Egyptian people and international stars like Paris Hilton, Steven Seagal, and Shah Rukh Khan. The reaction by Shah Rukh Khan during the punked show, was the fourth most trending YouTube video during the first week of Ramadan 2017.
