Ramy Youssef on why “Ramy,” a show about a Muslim guy, speaks to everyone’s struggles
  • 3 years ago
Ramy Youssef, the creator behind Hulu’s “Ramy,” discusses Season 2 of the comedy series with Salon’s Dean Obeidallah. Youssef, who is nominated for two Emmys this year (one for acting and one for directing), talks how the show’s plot is like an alternative, worse version of his actual life and why he chose to weave deep themes like anti-Black racism and homophobia within the Muslim community into the storyline this season with his co-star Mahershala Ali, whose performance is almost nominated for an Emmy Award.
