| Jane Lynch will be great. Her character in Mrs Maisel is based in Fanny Brice. She will nail it. I love this casting choice. |

| Not so. Her character in Mrs. Maisel owes more to Phyllis Diller. (The fact that Mrs. Maisel is set decades after Brice was active should also have been a clue.) And no, "Phyllis Ada Driver" wasn't Jewish, either. |

| In an interview, Rachel Brosnahan said she based it on Jean Carroll. But I'm not sure I see that: Carroll used to tell her jokes quickly, figuring if one didn't land there was another coming right behind it. |

| I think that Midge (Brosnahan's character) does owe a lot to Jean Carroll, but Sophie Lennon—Jane Lynch's character—is more Diller. | |
