Open Post: Hosted By Ramy Youssef Showing The World What Happens When You Don’t Win An Emmy
Since last night’s Emmys were broadcast remotely, nominees didn’t get the privilege of losing in front of an audience of A-listers. Instead, they Zoomed in from the safety of their homes. And the Emmys got creative with how they’d actually present the awards. Presenters in custom-designed tuxedo hazmat suits were sent to the houses of some nominees. Their job was to stand silently outside holding the nominee’s potential Emmy statue. If you won, hazmat guy would give you your Emmy. If you lost, they would bash you to death with the award in front of your loved ones. Nooo, they’d actually… well, let Ramy star Ramy Youssef, who lost the awards for Best Actor and Best Directing in a Comedy Series to Eugene Levy and the Schitt’s Creek crew, show you firsthand.
Here’s the video he posted:

An overly enthusiastic (almost sarcastic) wave goodbye before marching off into the sunset with the loser’s would-be award. Never to be seen again.
That award presenter ghosted him harder than Lindsay Lohan. Sure, he won a Golden Globe earlier this year (Best Performance by an Actor in a TV Series – Musical or Comedy), but it’s still not enough to satisfy his discerning grandfather:
Nope, the only way Ramy can make up for dropping out of Rutgers is if he fully EGOTs! Sigh. Time to write a Tony award-winning musical about something tragic like, I dunno… losing an Emmy?
