And how can Lee and Jessie’s families, not to mention a shopgirl in a town the team passes through on their journey, manage to keep pretending that “none of this is happening”?

On another occasion he told an auditionee she looked like an overweight "shopgirl".

We read “Shopgirl” with Steve Martin there, and after most people had drifted on home, Mr. M and I wound up on the Riordan kitchen floor, playing with the dogs.

Indeed, the series is stocked with comedians, also including Dave Attell as a rabbi, John Early and Kate Berlant as Beth’s prospective customers, Janelle James as a shopgirl, Yamaneika Saunders as Beth’s best old friend Maya and Gary Gulman as Maya’s “Jew date” — and Schumer is clearly giving them room to work, often sitting back and playing straight.
