With Terry Gross, I'm Tanya Moseley.

From WHYY in Philadelphia, this is Fresh Air Weekend. I'm Tanya Mosley. Today, Rami Youssef. His new animated comedy series, Number One Happy Family USA, is about an Egyptian-American Muslim family living in New Jersey after 9-11, trying to blend in and doing everything they can to avoid being seen as a threat. At the heart of the story is a middle schooler dealing with a double dose of paranoia.

Also, Danny McBride talks about his HBO series The Righteous Gemstones, about a wildly dysfunctional family of televangelists fighting for power, influence, and their father's approval. We get into what keeps drawing him to these hilariously flawed, emotionally stunted characters, and he shares the surprising inspiration behind the signature swagger his characters always seem to carry.
