[@SugaStarr]

I finished season 3 the day it came out and now I’m mad at myself for not spacing it out. It’s just not possible. It’s TOO good.

[@EricaGamet]

I finished Saturday night...I tried to go slow...not possible!

[@shaydembo2506]

Exactly, me too!😪😪😪

[@reb3kka2000]

Literally S A M E

[@michaels7095]

Same. Had to rewatch all of it

[@kishouarima3730]

Just finished season 3 hoping for season 4! For the record I hate Jimmy Fallon he's a horrible interviewer interrupting all the time and trying too hard. Anyways love you Rachel! You're a great actress and highly underrated! Also to one fellow Cancer ♋ to another the underdogs will rise to the top! Good luck!

[@Kingavarie]

*SHE MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS*

[@akashmuruganandam1462]

Hell yeah🔥🤤

[@rockwithyou2006]

yep Thats why I stopped watching house of cards at S3:E13

“Please Internet if youre watching this...” -Jimmy Fallon, 2019

[@Amir-xg9rd]

Capitalizing internet is outdated

[@Gaur8n]

She is like Honey, she even has Jimmy Fallon calm and speaking softly and slowly.

[@nooshin_sh]

I wouldn't really care about people getting my birthday wrong if Benedict Cumberbatch was one of those people.

[@NewMessage]

September 37th it is, then.

[@bradywilliams2951]

@@itshusain5949 Her birthday. And, so it shall be.

[@Sweetalking23]

For some reason I kind of shocked she’s only 29. On the show she seems older. Here’s she’s looks her age.

[@feiny5008]

On the show she's actually playing 26

[@sara8614]

I think it's her voice. She sounds older.

[@Jordan_Dale]

Karen Colon I’m 27 years old and I’ll never look like her in 2 years ... nor do I look of an accurate age now... 😔

[@Jordan_Dale]

It’s like when Margot Robbie played Natasha in Wolf Of Wall Street. I was stunned she was 24 at the time. I thought she was at least 35.

[@Nephromancer3]

@@Jordan_Dale I def thought Margot was 21 in that movie

[@theDevilsGreed]

She looks so different and blonde hair doesn’t look like the same person

[@christianeduardo1]

theDevilsGreed hint.... she’s not the same person 😙

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

Still the most beautiful woman in the world.

[@JamesHersh]

she told a very funny story about this on Jimmy Kimmel

[@jjthor407]

I have seen The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel pop up on Prime for months and didn't think I would like it . Now because of Rachael Brosnahan's performance , I CAN'T STOP !

[@gulnaazsabri3806]

It's Changed to July 12...

[@morz8191]

but the reference isn’t changed. Wiki is not trustworthy LOL

[@kindabatooni9314]

Cherish that book! I don’t care if it’s my real birthday or not, if Benedict gifted me a book I will celebrate that day every year! 😂❤

[@LeonardoAraujo2208]

This audience was so bad it made me cringe several times. She's adorable and funny, how come they were so quiet during the wrong times???

[@weirdnoise11]

Of course Benedict would buy you a book lol

[@NolaChick82]

Wow, she looks so different as a blonde

[@himaureen]

She’s the best comedian!! Great actor. More Rachel!!!

[@hilalselin5648]

Coincidence? I think not

[@CodySDivineCreators]

For the record she did win the Emmy after this too. Jimmy is her good luck charm. (and her talent ;) )

[@Buenomars]

Nice colour matching going on... even the clip-on microphone was of matching colour!

[@laurenreith]

I wonder how many different colours they have waiting there for the right top

[@xxxslash616xxx]

I really want to see her in a movie or show with Winona Ryder.

[@SpideySensei72]

I interned at Compass House when I was in undergrad. They really do alot of great work for young kids in need.

[@wilmafistfit4788]

I love Mrs. Maisel such a queen

[@marshallpo6414]

Can confirm. Wikipedia did change her birthday to July 12

[@AmaraJordanMusic]

Victory!!!

[@germanr90]

I'm watching this at November 2022 and they already fix the date. Thanks wikipedia guy!

[@truthof7382]

So many things now a days don’t live up to the billing. I’m so glad she actually is MARVELOUS!

[@SurajJadhav-hn8yf]

I fall in love with this actor.....I can't wait for season four now

[@theytube83]

She's so stunning and I love that her hair, dress, and mic match

[@AmaraJordanMusic]

Good catch about the mic matching!

[@haleyb7405]

Can season 3 come out any sooner

[@eyewin7]

So endearing... Love her!

[@biddynet]

I thought it was kate mackinon!!!

[@kitcobain444]

My goodness I was just about to write that! Dead ringer in the thumbnail!!

[@gianellaisais3482]

Lol me too!

[@Charlierose214]

That’s a great call, I actually thought she looked like Evan Rachel Woods

[@loudryka]

But prettier!

[@kitcobain444]

@@Charlierose214 yes her too! they must go to the same stylist lol make-up/hair!!

[@swathipavan685]

Omg! This woman is marvelous in real life too! I’m waiting for Season 4 of Marvelous MrsMaisel.

[@TheRealThomasPaine1776]

I just LOVE her as a brunette!! That classic dark hair against her creamy skin. And yet, she looks STUNNING her! Her hair looks amazing, matches her dress and somehow she looks like a golden idol, like a statuette, like.......... an Oscar?

[@shreyasrays]

If you slow it down to x0.75, that's the normal human speed 😂 Love how fast she speaks ❤️

[@sotokar2147]

Love Rachel!She is such a great actress❤

[@1JUSTGOTLUCKY1]

She is so down to earth..it makes her even more stunning!!

[@loopylupin1130]

[@xiaoqingpan1539]
