Biography
Ramez Galal is the son of the theater director Galal Tawfik[2][3] and the younger brother of Yasser Galal.[4] He studied at Kasr Al Tefl primary school and then moved to El Orman preparatory school. His secondary school was El Giza. After graduating, Galal decided to join the institute for dramatic arts, the acting and directing section. Galal entered military service after graduating, then returned to acting.

Television
In his prank show episodes, which are aired during Ramadan,[5] Galal's guests are seen in fear for their lives. He has pranked famous Egyptian people and international stars like Paris Hilton, Steven Seagal, and Shah Rukh Khan.[6][7][8] The reaction by Shah Rukh Khan during the punked show, was the fourth most trending YouTube video during the first week of Ramadan 2017.[9] Despite the wild popularity of his shows, Galal has met with criticism. A person speaking for animal rights complained that a lion was sedated for the show. Another critic said the "insults" that fly when his guests are punked ruin Egypt's reputation.[10][11] In 2020, Zamalek president Mortada Mansour filed a lawsuit demanding that Ramez Magnoon Rasmy (Ramez is Officially Crazy) prank show be suspended.[12]
