Ali Boards The Great Pyramid Scheme Podcast

Breaking news from the banks of the Nile! Ali is excited to announce that he has joined the cast of “The Great Pyramid Scheme” as the eternally extra protagonist, Pharaoh Khufu. Created by the brilliantly funny Laila Abdo, this Adult Swim-meets-Ancient Egypt series follows the misadventures of the young pharaoh trying to build history's most impressive pyramid while managing feuding queens and dealing with the world's first labor union, and answering the age-old question: how do you build a pyramid while battling a severe case of pharaoh-daddy issues? As an Egyptian himself, Ali brings an authentically royal flair to the role of Khufu. It's like the stars aligned... or rather, the pyramids aligned. However, we can neither confirm nor deny whether his own experience with eyeliner rivals that of his character.

The podcast series, which blends the irreverent humor of Dan Harmon with the epic scale of "Prince of Egypt" (minus the plagues, plus more pyramid-scheme puns), features an exceptional ensemble of voice actors, writers, and audio wizards under Abdo's creative direction. Audiences can look forward to hearing Ali bring to life the most ambitious nepo baby in Ancient Egyptian history when "The Great Pyramid Scheme" launches in February 2025 on all major podcast platforms.
