Quotes

Miriam 'Midge' Maisel: Why do we have to pretend to be stupid when we're not stupid? Why do we have to pretend to be helpless when we're not helpless? Why do we have to pretend we're not hungry when we're hungry? Fuck you, Sophie! Put that on your plate!

Well Crafted

Like the early Lenny Bruce, Midge ends up rocking the boat. After a meeting with a big time producer, woman who has become an adored comedian (played by Jane Lynch) agrees to let Midge front for her, but she has to meet her first. She plays a fat, frumpy housewife type, but when our girl meets her, she is a shallow, overbearing, narcissist. The problem is that Midge uses the meeting with her as comedy material and tells secrets about her, crossing a line. The producer walks out on her and blackballs her from any of the New York clubs.
