Guest Carrie Courogen, author of the acclaimed new bio "Miss May Does Not Exist," joins us to discuss comic genius Elaine May. Known for her groundbreaking work in comedy, screenwriting, directing, and acting, May rose to fame as part of the iconic comedy duo Nichols and May. Despite her significant contributions to films like "Tootsie" and "The Birdcage," she often chose to remain uncredited, creating an air of mystery around her achievements. Carrie Courogen provides deep insights into May's life, from her early days in improv to her film directorial debut with "A New Leaf," and her later return to Broadway, painting a vivid portrait of this enigmatic, brilliant artist.
