"when you lose the emmy"


ADDED: I don't have Hulu and I don't keep track of all the many shows that are flowing out of the television these days, so I didn't know anything about Ramy Youssef. I looked him up and found this, which explains his show:



Now, I know who he is. He seems like a nice person. I still don't have Hulu. More interestingly, I have no idea who did win the Emmy in the category he was nominated in, so that shows the power of social media as opposed to the power of the old-timey bestowal of statuettes.

AND: "It's 2020. They don't want a man like me anymore. They want a man like you. A man who [inaudible] a little bit like a woman but is still officially a man."

ALSO: At the very end of that video, he talks about the show winning a Golden Globe. That underscores my point about the superiority of social media to traditional awards shows. I hadn't heard of him or his show until today — because of that tweet you see above — but it won a Golden Globe!

The Emmys was another Trump hatefest. Hollyweird sucks, and I hope their industry dies and they all have to move to Venezuela. I have no respect for their hate. They suck.

Yay! What's that?

We have "Hu-hu" and see this guy advertised. Years ago I might have been interested in hearing the perspective of someone with a funny name, but no longer, and I immediately lose all interest when I find out he's a muslim. Please don't don't promulgate those trashy, uncivilized ideas over here, keep them in the shithole countries they helped create. Thanks for caring! :-)

Didn't this guy try to blow up the WTC in 1993?

I don't really get what is happening in the "when you lose the Emmy" tweet.

The Golden Globes were always a bribing contest. Meaningless even when people paid some attention.

Loved the line you quoted about men in 2020. Pretty hilarious. And I'd watch the show. But I'm not getting Hulu so...I'll see it some day when Hulu releases it to some other streaming service that I do have.

Hollywood is dead to me. I don't think I'm the only one.

He's looking for initiation, a rite of passage.

The Hero with a thousand faces goes into it.

The Emmys were on? Oh well.

AS Ramy Youssef said "Its 2020." And Althouse has not gone the way of acquiring all video entertainment through internet streaming. Streaming, of course, gets you all the cable channels and local channels at about half cost and Hulu has its own inexpensive programming as well. I cannot imagine myself tuning into a stand-up comedy series called "Ramy" since HBO wore out those supposedly funny shows years ago.

So I will take the blame for causing Ramy to lose on "Jeopardy" - baby.

Ramy, like Weird Al, lost on "Jeopardy."
