This Week’s Special Guests:
Ramy Youssef: Ramy Youssef is an Egyptian-American stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and director known for his role as Ramy Hassan on the Hulu comedy series Ramy, for which he received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy and a Peabody Award in 2020.

Golden Globe(R) Award-winning actor Ramy Youssef returns to Hulu for his critically-acclaimed performance in the Hulu Original comedy series “Ramy.” The series follows first-generation, Egyptian-American Ramy Hassan (Youssef) and his family as they navigate spirituality in their politically-divided New Jersey neighborhood. “Ramy” continues to bring a new perspective to the screen as it explores the challenges of what it’s like to be caught between a religious community who believes life is a moral test, and a millennial generation that doubts an afterlife even exists. In the third season, his family is forced to confront having lived a life dedicated to worldly concerns – and in some cases, lies – while Ramy all but abandons his spiritual journey, instead dedicating himself to him and his uncle’s diamond business.
