Ramy Youssef on Juggling ‘Mountainhead,’ ‘#1 Happy Family USA,’ ‘Mo,’ ‘The Studio’ and Perhaps — Eventually — a Baby


Ramy Youssef on juggling 'Mountainhead,' '#1 Happy Family USA,' 'Mo,' 'The Studio' and maybe — eventually — a baby.

The last time he appeared on Variety ‘s Awards Circuit Podcast, he was promoting his HBO standup special “More Feelings” and a hosting stint on “Saturday Night Live,” having just come off of a press campaign for his first movie role in “Poor Things” — plus Netflix had just set a comedy series co-created by Youssef and Will Ferrell. The show picked up in Season 4 with Bumpy Johnson, played by Whitaker, as he continued his bloody war for control of Harlem against New York’s mafia families, while contending with the emergence of a potential rival in newly arrived Black gangster Frank Lucas. Variety’s “Awards Circuit” podcast, hosted by Clayton Davis, Jazz Tangcay, Emily Longeretta, Jenelle Riley and Michael Schneider, who also produces, is your one-stop source for lively conversations about the best in film and television.
