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.
