Like Midge, Don Sherman was a stand-up comedian in 1950s New York

"Once he [Sherman] moved to L.A., all his cronies would sit around and talk about the good old days in New York," Dan Palladino explains. "...That was really stand-up comedy central during the '40s and '50s and going into the '60s." (Indeed, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel takes place in the late 1950s going into the 1960s.)

Sherman's real-life experience gave the Maisel team uncanny insight into the mind of a comic

From hearing Sherman's war stories, the couple got "to learn the psychology of a working stand-up comic," says Dan Palladino, which invariably informed not only Midge's character, but also her trajectory in the show.

Ultimately, Midge Maisel is in a league of her own

"A lot of that [Midge's character] is drawn from Don, and some of it's drawn from stand-ups that we've known over the years," he adds. "And...while there's a bit of all these female comics in Midge, there's not a lot in Midge. We've kind of made her up out of whole cloth."

Storyline

Set in 1950s Manhattan, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a 60-minute dramedy that centers on Miriam "Midge" Maisel, a sunny, energetic, sharp Jewish woman who had her life mapped out: go to college, find a husband, have kids, and throw the best Yom Kippur breakfasts in town.
