Ramy Youssef Takes a Stand for Palestine and Calls for Peace
In a powerful monologue on “Saturday Night Live,” US Egyptian comedian Ramy Youssef demanded a free Palestine and the release of hostages in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Youssef humorously shared his experience of being the designated prayer guy in his friend group, especially when it comes to praying for those in need, like a friend’s family in Gaza.
The comedian has been actively advocating for a ceasefire, even sporting an Artists for Ceasefire pin at the Academy Awards. He emphasizes the importance of peace and justice for the people of Palestine.
Currently promoting his new comedy special “Ramy Youssef: More Feelings,” Youssef touches on various topics in his unique comedic style, from the 2024 presidential election to the impact of childhood experiences.
Recognized for his talent, Youssef received nominations for the Critics’ Choice Awards and a Writers Guild Award in 2020 for his previous HBO comedy special, “Ramy Youssef: Feelings.”
