This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method. The data source for this research was taken from Bassem Youssef's utterances in his interview with Piers Morgan on the Piers Morgan Uncensored Talkshow, and the video was uploaded on the official YouTube channel on November 2, 2023. The transcribed utterances were categorised based on the forms of assertive illocutionary acts, then examined to determine their function, and concluded.
