Gilmore Girls
Eigeman appeared as Jason Stiles, a principal character in Season 4 of Gilmore Girls. Jason is kind of like an over-the-top male Lorelai; they both have a similar sense of humor, and at one point, Lorelai describes him to Rory as being very “off center.” Jason is a Harvard graduate who has worked for his father Floyd Stiles’s company since he was very young, and he tells Lorelai that he is a very light sleeper and that she must sleep in a guest room with his “distractions,” which are things like movies and books. One of Jason’s favorite things about him is his peculiar dog, Cyrus, who can lie motionless for extended periods of time without moving and makes noises.
Through Season 4, Jason is Richard’s business partner. In addition, Lorelai dates him, making him her last romantic partner before she starts seeing Luke. In an effort to take down his father’s business, Jason first teams up with Richard. Richard and Jason, however, have a major falling out because of Jason’s father Floyd Stiles’ threat to ruin Richard’s company. Richard, on the other hand, leaves Jason out of a contract he strikes with Floyd. When Jason sues Richard, Lorelai decides to end their relationship. Jason makes one more appearance at the Dragonfly Inn, where he unsuccessfully attempts to make amends with Lorelai.
Jason’s relationship with his father, whom he commonly refers to as Floyd, is adversarial and characterized by passive-aggression. Even so, he addresses Floyd as “Dad” as the latter angrily chases after him after declaring that he is suing Jason and Richard’s business. Carol, Jason’s mother, makes one brief appearance and seems somewhat inactive, despite Jason telling Lorelai multiple times that he talks to his mother. Jason never addresses her by her first name, but he also doesn’t treat her with respect; he tells Lorelai that she takes “happy pills,” implying that these prevent her from speaking to others as she usually would.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Eigeman appeared as Gabe, editor of The Village Voice in the American period comedy-drama television series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Miriam “Midge” Maisel, a wealthy Jewish-American housewife, embarks on a stand-up comedy career in 1958 after her husband Joel abandons her following a disappointing performance at The Gaslight Cafe.
She meets comedian Lenny Bruce and receives coaching from Gaslight manager Susie Myerson. Midge experiences hostility and blacklisting from venues, but eventually gets a break as the opening act for Shy Baldwin’s tour. She retools her performance for non-New York audiences as well as her career.
After their divorce, Midge and Joel continue to negotiate new relationships, with Midge becoming a humorous emcee at the Wolford burlesque club. Midge’s personal life is complicated, with many marriages, lost loved ones, and strained relationships, yet despite these difficulties, Midge and Joel stay close throughout the novel. In the 1960s and 2000s, Midge becomes a huge comedic sensation.
