Plot
In 1985, Midge mentions a failed partnership during her act. Jumping to 1990, the New York Friars Club roasts Susie Myerson. The attendees publicly and privately recount her career: Susie's success is attributed to a brash personality and inheriting Harry Drake's prominent clients. She got The Gordon Ford Show producer George Toledano fired and talent booker Mike Carr promoted to get Midge on the show. Joel discovered Susie paid thugs Frank and Nicky from Midge's earnings. To free Midge, Joel made a business deal with the mobsters. Susie did major damage control after Midge canceled her lavish wedding to author Philip Roth. Midge fired Susie upon learning her mob ties led to Joel's imprisonment and that she was overbooking Midge at casinos to pay off gambling debts. As the Roast concludes, Midge makes a surprise pre-recorded appearance, praising Susie.
