In this corner is the current holder of the Emmy title of Best Comedy Guest Actor, Luke Kirby, who isn’t a stand-up but plays one quite convincingly on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” — namely, the controversial comic and free speech advocate Lenny Bruce, who died in 1966. Opposite him is real-life joke-meister Eddie Murphy, the “Saturday Night Live” cast member who took to the big screen in two must-see stand-up specials in the ’80s, HBO’s “Delirious” and the concert film “Raw.”

Kirby reprises his role as Bruce as he performs at the Gaslight in Season 3’s first episode. While scandalously exposing a “Playboy” centerfold as a prop, he runs into Abe (Tony Shalhoub), the dad of his pal Midge (Rachel Brosnahan), who stands up for him.
