单集简介 ...

When people stop Ramy Youssef on the street, it's usually not because they're mega-fans of his comedy. Instead, they mostly just want to pet his dog. It's not until they walk away, he says, that they recognize him from his semiautobiographical sitcom, "Ramy," or his latest special, "Ramy Youssef: In Love." In fact, Youssef’s dog, Basha, is a big part of the special and has become a major part of his life, even if he does sometimes steal the spotlight. On this episode of “Modern Love,” Youssef tells Anna Martin, our host, what he has learned about unconditional love from Basha. He reads a Modern Love essay from the archive, in which the writer describes working at an animal rescue and how watching humans in the midst of the adoption process redeemed them a little in her eyes.

  • This is Modern Love, and today I'm talking to comedian Rami Youssef.

  • I first learned about Rami by watching Rami, the sitcom he wrote and starred in.

  • The show was inspired by his own life, growing up as a first-generation Egyptian-American Muslim guy in New Jersey.

  • The show was funny and heartfelt, and I remember thinking,

  • this Rami guy seems like the rare comedian who actually is kind of a sweetie.

  • Like, he was edgy, but he also just seemed very kind.

  • Now, he's got a new special out.

  • It's called Rami Youssef in Love.

  • And when I heard that title, I was like, that sweet side of him is going to come out even more.

  • Maybe he'll talk about his wife.

  • I know he got married a few years ago.

  • And in the special, he does talk about his wife, but he also talks about his dog.
