Amy Sherman-Palladino

Amy Sherman-Palladino, creator of Gilmore Girls and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, shares how Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner shaped her comedic rhythm. Dan Palladino, TV writer and longtime collaborator, recalls formative vinyl discoveries at LA’s Licorice Pizza and favorite records like Dylan and Frampton. They celebrate borscht belt humor, record-store lore, and how albums and comedy sketches influenced their storytelling.

Amy Sherman-Palladino says working on a TV show takes over your whole life. This is why Amy went from being a hired gun on sitcoms that made her miserable to her own creatively fulfilling shows like Gilmore Girls, Bunheads and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Amy and Marc talk about her father’s comedy background, her early job at The Comedy Store, the lessons she learned from Roseanne, and the adjustments made when she found out this would be the final season of Mrs. Maisel.
