Late night TV is here to stay

Initially, the scheme to get Midge on late-night TV seemed impossible — mainly because of her own bad decision-making. Susie made an unsuccessful attempt to get her on “The Gordon Ford Show” which proved difficult thanks to Midge’s ridiculous stipulation of not being an opening act. Turning down a gig with Tony Bennett at The Copa also meant Ford’s bookers had nowhere to see her, forcing Susie to turn down Ford’s booker, Mike Carr (played by Brosnahan’s husband Jason Ralph). But if Scott is returning, then perhaps Midge’s days of ignoring her manager’s advice good have finally come to s close! Or is that too much to ask for?
At the very least, she may finally be on the right track. Where season 4 left off, the stage was set for Midge’s endgame. After a harsh yet rousing speech from Lenny, she seemed ready to get herself back on track and walked out into the snowy streets of New York to stare up at a sign for the Gordon Ford Show. This could be her way forward: a stint on Ford’s show or even a single interview may be exactly what Midge needs to launch into the superstardom we know she deserves. Extra bonus — she knows for a fact that her parents watch the show, so maybe Rose will finally stumble across her daughter’s talents and see the light! At the very least, there won’t be strippers or alcohol around to distract her. But most importantly, this signals something huge for Midge (assuming she gets out of her own way). If Scott is sticking around, then Gordon Ford might just take a shining the motor-mouth comic and perhaps one performance could evolve into something more.
