FunTranscript
00:00It's a show whose comic universe is unlike any other.
00:03It's no surprise that it has accumulated several Emmys and Golden Globes.
00:07Titled The Fabulous Mrs. Maisel,
00:10it takes us back to the 50s and 60s,
00:13a period marked by significant transformations in the world of the show.
00:18The protagonist, Miriam Midge Maisel,
00:21stands out radically from the women of her time.
00:23After discovering an unsuspected talent for stand-up,
00:27she embarks on an extraordinary journey.
00:30Over the course of five seasons,
00:32she evolves from a model wife to a star in a comedy.
00:36However, this fascinating character is not unique to fiction.
00:41The creators of the show themselves recognized
00:43that Midge Maisel was directly inspired by real comedians.
00:49Let's take a moment to look at the evolution of this character.
00:52Midge leads a serene existence of a housewife
00:55in the framework of the Upper West Side New Yorker.
00:58Her husband, Joel,
00:59juggles between his career as a businessman during the day
01:02and his comic aspirations at night.
01:04But everything changes when his comedy number goes wrong,
01:08putting their marriage at risk.
01:11Far from giving up,
01:13Midge then decides to try comedy herself,
01:16with an undeniable talent.
01:19Imagined by Amy Sherman Palladino,
01:22also the creator of Gilmore Girls,
01:25this series features several characters inspired by real figures.
01:29But Midge's is undoubtedly the most captivating,
01:31because it is directly inspired by the mythical Joan Rivers.
01:35Both were born in New York,
01:37parents who were reluctant to see their daughters
01:39embrace a humorous career.
01:41They also frequented prestigious establishments
01:44before taking their first steps on the scene of Gaslight Café,
01:47an emblematic comedy club in the city.
01:50However, the most captivating parallel between Midge and Joan
01:53lies in their boldness in the face of comedy.
01:56Both shook the conventions of their time,
01:58imposing a humorous style rarely associated with women.
02:02However, a distinction remains.
02:04Midge displays a natural assurance and a high awareness of her value,
02:08while Joan's humor found its origin in a deep insecurity.
02:13From 1957 to her death,
02:15Rivers deeply marked the world of comedy,
02:18opening the way to many women in the world of show business.
02:22Thus, following Midge's rise in a series rewarded twenty times
02:26appears as a tribute to the most relevant to Joan Rivers.
02:29Another parallel deserves to be underlined.
02:32In the series,
02:33actor Lenny Bruce supports Midge and encourages her
02:36when she goes through a difficult period.
02:38However, in reality,
02:40Bruce also played a decisive role in Joan's career,
02:44assisting her in one of her performances
02:46and leaving her a message that strengthened her confidence in her.
02:50In fiction, Lenny and Midge develop an unexpected friendship,
02:54which even evolves into a romantic episode
02:56widely felt by the spectators.
02:59Beyond their singular relationship,
03:01Lenny's conflicts with justice and his tight humor
03:04are directly inspired by real facts.
03:07Very well, you are probably wondering who this Lenny Bruce really is.
03:11It's not just a fictional character,
03:14but a very real figure.
03:17Born under the name of Leonard Alfred Schneider in Long Island in 1925,
03:22he was the son of an actress and a shoe seller.
03:25Fortunately for him, he followed in his mother's footsteps,
03:28in turn embracing the sparkling world of the show.
03:32From an early age, Lenny showed a friendly spirit.
03:35One of his first blows was to put on a very unconventional outfit
03:39to entertain his friends.
03:41Then, in 1945, he left everything for New York,
03:45determined to make a name for himself in stand-up.
03:48It is under the pseudonym of Lenny Bruce
03:50that he forged his style over the years.
03:53He quickly acquired a sulfurous reputation,
03:56because he did not hesitate to address controversial subjects.
03:59No matter the theme, he always had a tight look to share.
04:03If Midge evokes Joanne Rivers,
04:06some advance that she would also draw her inspiration from John Carroll.
04:10This humorist was distinguished by his sharp mind,
04:14his captivating charisma,
04:16and his both striking and warm humor.
04:19Like Midge, Jean did not fear to highlight his appearance
04:22while making his audience laugh.
04:25At that time, it was tacitly admitted that humorist women
04:28had to minimize their physique to be taken seriously.
04:32However, Jean, like our heroine,
04:34excelled in the art of derision,
04:36the society of the middle of the 20th century.
04:40However, the similarities between Jean and Midge stop there.
04:44Unlike Midge's privileged childhood,
04:46Jean had to meet the needs of her family from an early age.
04:50Her husband, far from being an obstacle,
04:52fully supported her career,
04:54unlike Joelle Maisel.
04:56However, at one point,
04:58she decided to withdraw from the scene
05:00to devote herself to her family life.
05:03Even Susie Meyerson, with a well-tempered temper,
05:06does not entirely come out of the imagination of the screenwriters.
05:09In fact, her character is partly inspired by Sue Mengers,
05:13a legendary impresario of the Hollywood golden age.
05:17Many fans made their approach
05:19just by observing the common initials.
05:22It was certainly not a coincidence,
05:24and the creator of the series confirmed it.
05:26But then, who was Sue Mengers?
05:29An essential figure in the world of the show, without a doubt.
05:33From the 60s to the flamboyant 80s,
05:36all the influential personalities dreamed of appearing on her list.
05:40Barbara Walters, icon of television journalism,
05:43addressed in her memoirs a portrait without doubt of Sue.
05:46An absolute legend,
05:48intelligent, combative,
05:50defiant,
05:51and of a disarming franchise.
05:53This honesty distinguished her from the others.
05:55She was among the first,
05:57and without contest the most famous,
05:59Hollywood artistic agents,
06:01to dare to say what she thought.
06:03Her direct approach was radically divided
06:05with the usual opacity of an environment
06:07where false pretenses were commonplace.
06:10Although Suzy Meyerson and Sue Mengers
06:13share common traits,
06:15their first names and a similar professional background,
06:18they each retain their uniqueness.
06:20For example,
06:21no element can affirm that Sue Mengers
06:24is running a stand-up club in the West Village
06:27or is represented as a comedian.
06:29In addition,
06:30the creator of the series said
06:32that Suzy is not only inspired by Sue Mengers.
06:35Another major source of inspiration
06:37was the actress who lends her traits to the characters,
06:40Alex Borstein.
06:41At that time,
06:42Alex had just moved to Barcelona,
06:45but the opportunity to play Suzy
06:47was simply too beautiful to be declined.
06:49This role seduced her,
06:50because it was a rare opportunity
06:52for an actress of her age and appearance.
06:55Sophie Lennon is another striking character of the series,
06:59brilliantly played by Jane Lynch.
07:01She embodies a direct rival for Midge,
07:04an actress who excels in the art of burlesque jokes
07:07and striking lines,
07:08always able to fly with the audience.
07:11However,
07:12once the spotlight is off,
07:14Sophie reveals a very different facet.
07:16Refined,
07:17elegant
07:18and of a demanding temperament,
07:20she strongly contrasts with the lightness
07:22she projects on stage.
07:24Even if Sophie Lennon does not rely on any real character,
07:27we can say that she is a mixture of several humorists
07:29striking from the past.
07:31Some even suggest that she is partly inspired
07:33by the legendary Phyllis Diller.
07:36You may have already heard of Phyllis Diller,
07:39known for her unique style.
07:41She deliberately played with her appearance
07:43in order to make her sketches even funnier.
07:46In the series,
07:47Sophie adopts an extravagant costume
07:49and a very supported makeup,
07:51which recalls the way Diller wore wide dresses
07:54in order to hide her slender figure.
07:56Another character striking from the series?
07:59Moms Mobley.
08:01At the end of a memorable season,
08:03the audience gets to know her
08:05through the masterful interpretation of Wanda Sykes.
08:08In the series,
08:09Moms is a confirmed actress
08:10who knows her moment of glory
08:12on the mythical scene of Apollo.
08:16An interesting fact.
08:18Moms Mobley is inspired by a very real figure,
08:21Loretta Mary Aiken,
08:23better known as Jackie Moms Mobley.
08:26In reality,
08:27this humorous pioneer
08:29appeared in iconic shows
08:31such as The Ed Sullivan Show
08:33and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
08:35Her nickname, Mom,
08:36came from her kindness to her humorous colleagues.
08:39Moms Mobley was famous for her bold and unfiltered humor,
08:43especially when it came to joking about her love life,
08:46a trait that can be found in Wanda Sykes' interpretation.
08:50Many consider her to be one of the funniest characters
08:53in the history of comedy.
08:55Even if her appearance in the series is brief,
08:57she leaves an impression
08:59and adds a new depth to the plot.
