Susie freakin’ Essman, ladies and gentleman!  Everyone’s favorite queen of insults, Susie Essman couldn’t have been nicer as she talks this week with Mark and Lowell. They connect on everything from stage fright, to neurotic mothers, and of course their mutual love of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and they talk about the bond comedians feel that transcends other relationships.

Susie is most well-known these days for the role that’s indelibly etched in our hearts, Susie Greene on “Curb Your Enthusiasm. ” She started out having a hugely successful stand-up career including an HBO special, and has played memorable roles on many, many TV shows including “Broad City,” “Bless This Mess,” and “Those Who Can’t” just to name a few.
