“Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” stars Reid Scott and Jason Ralph dish on creating a late-night TV show to rival Johnny Carson, rapid-fire dialogue, and the possible Gordon-Midge romance.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel“Amy and Dan [Palladino] write these incredibly poetic, epic scripts, and the last thing you want to do is butcher any of these beautiful words they’ve given you,” says Scott. Coming to a show this late in the game is an intimidating experience, and there is also the fact thatteam doesn’t interact with most of the season regulars . “One of the challenges, at least for me, is to make sure we’re still being authentic to the tone of the show,” Scott admits.
That familiarity came with some trepidation as Ralph was “terrified I was going to embarrass my wife.” His worst-case scenario? “Amy wouldn’t know what to say, and she’d have to quietly write me off the show without trying to make anyone embarrassed, but it didn’t happen.”Instead, Ralph’s character is trying to channel his resentment toward George into showing his strengths in the workplace—the result of which is that he often resembles a tightly wound screw.
Persistence is how Susie helped Midge get her foot in the door, but George’s rule that anyone who writes on the show cannot appear on the show is an additional obstacle. Mike was the initial gatekeeper preventing Midge’s path, but he is also at an impasse in his desperate bid to climb the ladder. “I wasn’t this happy when my kids were born” is Mike’s giddy response after Gordon has given George a dressing down in this week’s episode.
