Ramy Youssef, known for his wit and humor, took the stage as the host of Saturday Night Live, offering a monologue that blended politics, religion, and social commentary.
Acknowledging the convergence of religious celebrations like Ramadan and Easter, along with Beyoncé’s album release, he humorously highlighted the diverse array of festivities happening simultaneously. As a Muslim observing Ramadan, he playfully emphasized the communal spirit of the occasion.
Transitioning to politics, Youssef remarked on the ubiquitous support for figures like Donald Trump, dispelling the notion that such support is confined to specific regions. He teased about Biden’s campaign outreach and his occasional moments of clarity, albeit with a touch of jest.
In a bold statement, Youssef declared his dissatisfaction with the current political landscape, suggesting that the next president should be a woman, eliciting applause. Pushing further, he proposed a trans woman, showcasing his unorthodox perspective and drawing a mixed response from the audience.
Switching gears, he humorously reflected on his role as the prayerful friend in his social circle, recounting comical requests for divine intervention in mundane matters, juxtaposed with heartfelt pleas for peace and freedom in Palestine.
In a poignant moment, Youssef prayed for the end of suffering in Gaza and for the release of hostages, resonating deeply with the audience. His advocacy for peace in the region, evident through his attire at the Oscars and his monologue, underscores his commitment to social justice causes.
Through his monologue, Ramy Youssef seamlessly weaved together humor and sincerity, addressing pressing issues with a unique blend of wit and empathy.
