US Egyptian comedian, writer, and actor Ramy Youssef has nabbed a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series. Youssef earned the nod for directing the fan-favorite “Honeydew” episode from season two of “The Bear,” which centers on the lovable pastry chef Marcus, played by Lionel Boyce.
This marks Youssef’s third Emmy nomination and his second for directing, following his 2020 nomination for his work on his own series, “Ramy.”
This year, Youssef faces tough competition from “The Bear” creator Christopher Storer for the episode “Fishes,” Guy Ritchie for “The Gentlemen,” Lucia Aniello for “Hacks,” Randall Einhorn for “Abbott Elementary,” and Mary Lou Belli for “The Ms. Pat Show.”
