‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s’ Alex Bornstein says show feels ‘close to home’

[@estherbednar3260]

Who else could have played Susie Myerson on Maisel? She’s just perfection 😍

[@debrahuddleston2551]

singthebodyelectric, NO ONE!

[@_birdie]

I’d say the same about the whole cast really. Casting director deserves an award haha Bc if is one of the most perfectly cast shows I’ve ever seen. And the chemistry is unreal. Damn. the show is just fantastic.

[@richardsoos8902]

She also plays her associates.

[@SteveSmartPoetryandMusic]

Without Alex the show would have been missing its heart.

[@beatricestoler9735]

Love Susie; Alex is the only one who could play her to such perfection. She's an incredible talent and so genuine.

[@dianegoldman4822]

I love the series but i think YOU are the show. Without you I don’t think it would be as engrossing. Great performance!

[@Siggkins]

I think the two characters are genius and complement each other. I love all the characters. It's an all round brilliant and original show.

[@SharonAFox]

I have been a giant fan of Alex's ever since "MAD TV"...I am so happy people are getting to know her and her work. I don't think she realizes how beautiful she is. I would so love to see her as the leading woman in an exceptional film....because she is EXCEPTIONAL!!!! Thank you so much for the tears and laughter, Alex...Wishing you growing success and happiness!

[@DevikaK1293]

I really like this interview. The questions were great - she was so engaged and we learnt a lot about her experiences.

[@reemmohammed2740]

I’m so happy she decided to do the marvelous Mrs Maisel she’s amazing

[@rrk426]

I really appreciated this interviewer, she was natural and asked wonderful questions and made the interview very enjoyable

[@narissabond6383]

Alex Is such a brilliant talent! The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel would not be the same without Susie.

[@jessicamarciel9735]

So addicted to this show and this talent!

[@cali6950]

I want her entire attire!!!

[@CastellonZamora]

Wow she really opened up in this interview and showed her sincerities. I'm sure the interviewer brought it out in her. Great to see and hear it.

[@Mybestfriendlivesinboston]

I’ve fallen in love with Alex after binging this show . Now binging all her interviews.

[@velvetshyeyes31]

I love Susie! I binge watched it when it came out in September 7.

[@killerqueenfbr]

Love the interview!!! And love Alex, she's amazing!!!

[@kassistwisted]

BRAVA for playing a woman who's not a mother or seeking to be a mother! Alex Borstein rocks.

[@importantverbs]

She's gorgeous.

[@orffrocks5667]

Alex is so brilliant and talented!

[@xPirus26]

Barcelona is the bomb and one of the most popular cities for young people, creatives, everybody, that city got everything, been there 4 times

[@nna3487]

Thanks for the words about female friendship, Alex! I totally agree

[@briandavis1307]

So psyched! for season 3

[@BrianLeevoice]

Good interviewer, interesting interview. Gotta love Alex!

[@jaska7]

Please correct the spelling of her name. It's Alex Borstein. C'mon, LA Times....

[@margaretchapman276]

LOVE her! Alex rocked "Getting On" she was so good!

[@loveisreal4296]

What a great interview! Alex Bordstein is hilarious and so very talented🥰

[@knitlamb5125]

Love the interview

[@6julieann]

Love Alex Borstein, and REALLY appreciate how good Yvonne Villarreal is as an interviewer!

[@annemott1193]

I love Susie! She is such a great character. I love the show.

[@skubydubydu]

She is lovely ❤️

[@joycejohnson7164]

Adored that show w/Laurie Metcalf! So disappointed when it ended.

[@plasmichoneytrip]

Ms. Swan has come a long way.

[@mailesmith168]

Absolutely loved Getting On. I've showed so many people the clip where you and Ms Nash are trying to figure out what a lady's saying and using the phone for an interpreter... makes me tear up. Sadly, realistic hospital nonsense. Also, you're the BEST part of MMM. Incredible acting, Brava

[@feralchild333]

“Ground beef in a sack” aaaaaahahahahahaaaaaa

[@marymolloy8454]

She’s by far the best in the show.

[@SteveSmartPoetryandMusic]

Love, just love.

[@margaretwinson402]

I love Alex, but also this interviewer!

[@leighmoorhouse7500]

Bravo! Please keep it going!

[@joelleaittama1416]

Love her.

[@johnnypunish]

Alex is so talented! Strong!

[@barbaracox2583]

She is the best!

[@brilliantatbreakfast]

I love Alex Borstein. She's like the me that never could have been. And yeah, it's Borstein, not "Bornstein."

[@nameless6774]

loved her in all her sketches in Madtv, Gilmore Girls’ characters and now in Mrs Maisel. She is the star in every scene she is in...A drama+ comedy genius. Beyond the “meryl streeps” , Oscar Winners of the world.

[@brucewayne5140]

How do you have her name misspelled at all, much less leave the typo up for a YEAR AND A HALF?

[@shecamt]

I loved Getting On. I was very surprised at how much love The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

[@narakim1355]

@LATimes I thought her name was Alex Borstein...

[@Insuranceexamprep]

OMG glad I found this I was literally hesitating to buy it but it's good tho thank ya muah~~😘

[@nina1522]

She is so beautiful in real life.

[@MSYNGWIE12]

BRAVA ALEX, BRAVA SUSIE. Alex you are doing an excellent, brave, mind expanding adventure, for your kids- what I had planned for my life, I have 2 dear friends who love Barcelona. I love Susie for just what drew you to her- she's not asexual but she's mysterious, nervous here- I admire her for being a survivor of a non-family...yes she's been hurt but she doesn't whine, she just gives the world a shove, yet you know there's a soft spot, you can count on her. I had a BFF for years I met at college and Susie even chews like her! Makes me cry, as she's long gone but also being sister-less, I smile, laugh, indulge in my memories. Thank you Alex Borstein. I LOVE SUSIE MEYERSON. I CANT IMAGINE HOW THIS SHOW WOULD BE WITHOUT HER. What a multi-talented, refreshingly honest! don't say, narcissist, the smart-ass comic seems to be in you, but so are the girly girly characteristics of Miriam, - obviously I am nuts about Susie, and keen to see you in other roles. Not good in math, hmm. Can you write, draw, SING!? I have a feeling you are a writer. I'll end by saying you are very pretty, I never thought, "is this a boy?" You sure don't look your age either, and your hair is gorgeous- does being short bug you? ! HOW MUCH AUTONOMY DO THE WRITERS GIVE YOU? Can you ad lib, do you and Rachel ever divert from the script- I feel like Amy would be open to her actors- thank you for your hard work. I hope season 4 comes soon. Namaste. A fan in Canada.

[@dennysam7778]

Susie myerson playing Alex borstein for this interview.

[@JasmineLajeunesse]

Getting On was a great show!

[@amybananana]

her surname in the title is spelled wrong...in the description as well

[@littlegelland]

Well you can't have drama without stakes.

[@anthonywaggoner6635]

she da best

[@amoghavarshamurthy]

Update the title guys!

[@adachic]

Alex's last name is spelt Borstein not Bornstein.

[@Satrina777]

You spelled her name wrong... sis

[@robertelwine4086]

Oops meant doesn’t. I need a proof reader

[@erine5331]

The age of the person doing this interview is an ill fit. She misses a whole lot of the cues from Alex’s responses because she’s too inexperienced to understand them and have a dialogue. The repeated “wow” coming from her would not come from someone who has some life experience. The person making these choices needs to be able to gauge their staff and who’s a better fit for the talent.

[@kassistwisted]

Agreed.

[@flower_girl4983]

Suzie myerson. Remember the face! *hands u 5 pence*

[@aaronjohn786]

plunger lady in real life

[@marttull5979]

The interviewer made this near impossible to watch .

[@nismofury]

Great show this interviewer is amateurish. How the hell did she get her job?

[@priscilla3170]

sigh... gone are the days where actresses had class..... what do you do to relax... REALLY?!?!?! Where's your class, where are your morals and values, you have children, jeez louise.... Sorry but NO.

[@kleec0203]

Nothing against the actress, but I can't stand this show and every time I'm watching something on Netflix they seem to have a commercial for this show beforehand. The main reason I don't like the show is because Is because the character isn't funny. She's not believable as a comedienne. I wouldn't pay to see her. She's not funny, she's silly, like boring silly.

[@capitalj9976]

kleec0203 You need to realize that the character is in the 50’s and comedy was different back then. Also, there were only 3 or 4 actual female comics at that time, so it was all very new. I don’t laugh at her stand-up either, but the other characters are hilarious to me.

[@carolynworthington8996]

Capital J Oh, I laugh at the comedy sets, and love the show! Everybody’s different...

[@shreyasawant8631]

Watch it, you'll love it!

[@ironhorse127]

Absolutely one of the best shows to come along in quite some time. Beyond entertaining. I’m hoping there are a dozen seasons.

[@tomlynntigard]

At least spell her name right guys, come on; two Emmys! My favorite roll from her is Ms. Swan for Mad TV. That character she created was just wonderful (and I'm married to an Asian for over 35 years)! She has me rolling in laughter every time I look-up the same MadTV Ms. Swan posts. Although Bunny Swan is an exaggeration (probably of someone Alex knew), I can identify with her Asian "quirks" - she does her so well, it's believable. She's a female Jack Benny, and about time she gets some recognition.

[@darkknightsds]

It got old pretty quick in the 2nd season, although the 3rd season was a little better

[@nicktant1756]

The characters are incredible!

[@AlvaSudden]

So happy to see this tremendously talented lady is working, and so glad to see this interview come up. Since her Mad TV days I've been a fan.

[@Shaw4444]

she's been working on Family Guy since 1999 as Lois Griffin.

[@MrAllad]

Alex is a very talented comedienne, and her role in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is superb.

[@1Nida]

She is so talented! She is the perfect fit for this smart funny show!

[@1Nida]

She's so right about female friendship ❤️

[@asetbilibaev6519]

Her sense of humor, that is an unfailing sign of big intelligence, is intimidating

[@dieulinh007]

Alex Bornstein is super smart.

[@vanessarizo1549]

Very cool lady. She’s super funny and does what she likes!!!

[@RosablueHandMade]

Amazing, interesting, strong, funny, potent gal. Such an attractive human.

[@robertelwine4086]

Comfortable women are the sexiest. Alex is very beautiful love her

[@jessicamarciel9735]

WOW. " Her face is like a jazz instrument . She hits notes you never thought off". what a mind !!

[@dancinditedforyears6736]

I love Alex! I wish I had her as a friend when I was a kid. Non stop everything.

[@Groveland64]

I binge watched season three. Please let there be a season four.

[@_birdie]

I think they’re filming it right now actually! ☺️✌️❤️

[@sarahsimpson8775]

I love this interview! It's so nice to watch and so interesting, such quality. Great interviewer and interviewee 😍

[@ofelianuno4752]

She’s a delight to watch. Arriba Alex!!!

[@Jasmin-fd3ny]

How she didn’t lose her patience with the worst interviewer in the world is beyond me.

[@tulasipriya]

She was a fine interviewer. I learned a lot about AB because she asked good questions. You must have some personal grudge.

[@Jasmin-fd3ny]

tulasi-priya dasi Personal grudge ??? Lol 😂 I have no idea who she is. I just think she is a bad interviewer.

[@valerieturrentine]

@@tulasipriya I agree - she's a little unconventional in that she is younger and not as buttoned-up, but her questions are thoughtful and the whole thing is just real and genuine.

[@jmeekselectric]

She’s awful. She is not used to this setting. Also....that’s sing-songy voice. Why do all the girls my age sound like this?

[@stargazer5073]

Holocaust survivor...prayers for her mom.

[@jmeekselectric]

The interviewer is bad. Why do most of the woman and some of the men from my generation have this affect in their voice. Everything sounds artificial. Also, I know the show is about stand-up but that’s the *least* we know Alex from. No Madtv? No shitty movies like Catwoman?

[@SunyCartoons]

This is cool :D

[@debrabelz]

So funny smart lovely.

[@robertelwine4086]

Yep open mic sucks trying to perfect comedy jokes does feel right to me either. It needs to be organic and on the spot at that moment. That’s true comedy

[@debrahuddleston2551]

IT’S BORSTEIN!!!!! You telling me the LA Times can’t get her name correct?

[@triciacollins8413]

Love the show. Love Susie.

[@BAKINGWITHROSIE]

lois griffin one of the most empowering beautiful woman in hollywood alex

[@kathykujawa6183]

closed captioning is SOOOO WRONG!!!! so many mistakes!!!!

[@mrlately]

2:58

[@hannahrosereviews5073]

I would be the one to ask her about The Lizzie McGuire movie.

[@tamasmarcuis4455]

She wants her children to learn Spanish so she goes to the capital of Catalonia where they speak Catalan? Spanish people, Spanish men? It was Barcelona and the Catalans are more like the French and Italians. That is NOT Castilian. Not the best informed person really. Particularly when Spain is run by the renamed Spanish Fascist Party - Partido Popular and is busily sending Castilian military police into Catalonia to beat Catalans in the street. Let's not forget the heads of the Catalan government now held as politcal prisoners and the former President that was forced into exile.

[@markwatson2681]

Who is not very well informed? No, even though they are Catalans, they are more like the Spanish than the French or Italians and 100 percent bilingual in Castilian Spanish. Catalunya is totally Catalan while its capital is formed of a large mix of Spaniards from other parts of the Peninsula as well as a large group of Latin Americans all who communicate daily in "Spanish".

[@jmeekselectric]

She just moved there because she left her husband and thought Family Guy was all she was going to be doing the rest of her life. She may know some about your country, but the finer details? Even if she does know she’s not going to take the time to explain, where in Spain Barcelona is, that is belongs to a region that thinks it should be autonomous and they have a different (another) Romance language spoken.

[@Alegory100]

The segment needs a bit more production. Hair makeup

[@sanjnaghosh6462]

A man would never hear that

[@i.e.presents638]

Alex looks amazing, I have no idea what you’re blathering on about

[@surlespasdondine]

yawn...
