Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Ramy Youssef‘s latest HBO special, “Ramy Youssef: More Feelings,” had been in the works for years — and had evolved over time as Youssef got in a relationship and eventually got married. But some of his routine also became very more front and center for audiences in the wake of the war in Gaza. “There’s stuff that I do touch on, a tightrope walk of taking really big concepts, and then making them super personal,” Youssef tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast.
“With our show [Hulu’s “Ramy”], we had already done that with Palestine and Israel. And in my stand up, I had already done versions of it. But in the last seven or eight months, it became something that has risen to the surface for everybody.

But lately, it’s kind of felt like something that’s, ‘no, no, this is the conversation.’ The fact that things that I’m talking about intersect with that moment.” Youssef notes that the conversation about Israel and Palestine is now mixed with both people who have been talking about it for a long time, and people who are new to the conversation. “And then it’s all happening online, which I think is the hardest part,” he says. “On one level, there’s this amazing way that people can talk about information and people can learn things.
