“I can’t even remember the last time a comedy series won eight,” Tony Ruiz remarks about new Best Comedy Series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” to me and our fellow Gold Derby contributors Zach Laws and Rob Licuria in a post-Emmys slugfest to wrap up the season. “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is in fact the first comedy to win eight Emmys for a single season. It bested the seven-win record that the second season of “All in the Family” set in 1972 and the second season of “30 Rock” matched in 2008.

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” notably bested “Atlanta,” which had been favored in Gold Derby’s combined predictions for four Emmys at the main telecast. “Next to ‘Atlanta,’ ‘Maisel’ is a laugh riot,” Ruiz explains. Licuria adds, “‘Atlanta’ is very unusual. Even if it was about white people, I still think it would struggle.
