A version of this story first appeared in the Race Begins issue of TheWrap’s Emmy magazine.

Myerson is a tough-as-nails manager to diamond-in-the-rough standup comic and 1950s Upper West Side Jewish housewife Midge Maisel, played by Rachel Brosnahan.
With a caustic wit and neo-feminist bent, Susie’s the lovechild of a Fran Lebowitz-Jackie Gleason hookup.
