Owner of the Gaslight Cafe.

S1E8 - Eddie tells Susie that Amanda Gleason has been banned from playing the Gaslight Cafe because she ruffled feathers with her Sophie Lennon set.

SUSIE: Hey boss, nice to…
EDDIE: Who the hell is Amanda Gleason?
SUSIE: Why?
EDDIE: Word is she's persona non grata. Harry Drake himself made the call. The last time I talked to Harry Drake was ten years ago, when the same whore gave us both the clap.
SUSIE: That's a nice story.
EDDIE: He's saying Amanda Gleason better not come within ten feet of the Gaslight. If she does, he'll make sure anyone who performs here will never work on the East Coast again.
SUSIE: Look, Harry is a legendary drunk.
EDDIE: And he's saying you screwed him over. Did you do that?
SUSIE: At least I didn't give him the clap.
EDDIE: Who is Amanda Gleason, Susie?
SUSIE: She's a comic I'm managing.
EDDIE: Well, see if you can manage to keep her out of here.
SUSIE: Eddie…
EDDIE: Don't book her, don't give her a slot. Don't let her use the john. Nothing. You got it?
SUSIE: You'd feel different if you'd heard her act.
EDDIE: Susie, listen to me. You've done a good job here with Baz off in the tundra, or wherever the hell he is. But I need you to stand down for a while.
SUSIE: What does that mean?
EDDIE: It means let Jackie run things. Let him put the lineups together. You stay away from anything having to do with the talent.
SUSIE: Then what am I supposed to do?
EDDIE: Run the door.
SUSIE: I would rather clean gum off the floor.
EDDIE: Sit your ass on that stool and take people's money.
SUSIE: No fucking way.
EDDIE: You want to take that sunny, people-pleasing attitude of yours and go look for another job? Go ahead. Rikers might be hiring. Okay. We're clear. I'm leaving. It's nice seeing you. Don't make me come down here again.
