There’s a new show on Hulu about a young man who practices a different religion from most other Americans. He doesn’t smoke or drink. His parents want him to meet a nice girl who shares his faith, get married and have children.
And most people refer to his religion with a six-letter word that starts with “M.”
“Ramy” is not, however, about a Morm … er, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s about a young man (Ramy Youssef) who’s first-generation Egyptian American — and a Muslim.
Youssef, a standup comedian, is pretty much playing himself.
