She's a treasure. I love how she expresses how important it is to RAISE ONE'S CHILDREN.
Truth. Most contemporary parenting is little more than puppy mills. Anyone can insert tab (a into slot (b. It takes conscience to properly raise your progeny.
Absolutely, no one is gonna love them like you do. It's the hardest job in the world but most important. Why let some one else do it.
Agree with All 3 of you (above)
Her humor is so awesome because it is all truth about real parenting and being a real mama and wife! She is funny because she talks about real life that almost all women face daily!
Her dry, Southern accent only makes her comedy that much more hysterical because she is soooooo real! She proves that being a mama doesnt mean the death of a goal, dream, or career!
Just when you think you couldn’t love this woman more…❤
Leanne is so talented , hilarious and authentic, I’m so glad she persevered. Her story is inspiring ✨
Thats so cool about how she always knew in her heart she'd be on stage !
Lee Anne is brilliant and a believer !!! You just don’t see this except in this funny woman !! What a God send she is !!!! We need this kind of clean humor !!!
This is a fabulous interviewer. She is sharp in her listening and leads the “precious” Leanne into telling her story without interrupting and trying to be the show instead of letting us enjoy the person we came to see. That is a true talent. Thank you!!!! Abby is it? I’m a fan!
Absolutely
I thought so too.
Completely agree!
That’s lovely of you to notice that and comment on it. You’re absolutely right but I’m not sure I would have thought of it and noticed…so thank you and God bless you!!
Completely agree! They are BOTH precious!!!
It came from the two being friends for years. The interviewer knew where the touchpoints were in Leanne's life.
I just love this woman. She is an inspiration to all women she tells it like it is. And most of all she makes me laugh out loud and Lord knows we all need that.♥️
Leanne is so charming! I could listen to her stories all day.
Couldn’t happen to a better person. So hilarious.
Yes, I love how she understands God’s hand in it all. I pray God continues to Bless her.
She is a national treasure. I adore her.
I love Leanne Morgan and want to go to every one of her shows and watch every single thing she shares with us online. She is hilarious but kind, persistent, believes in God, has been married to the same husband all these years, does not need to swear to get a laugh, and she thinks her children, grandchildren, and dogs are yummy. She has worked hard and deserves to finally be in the hearts and souls of her millions of fans. I also want to say thank you to Abby Ham. You did an excellent job of interviewing Leanne. You made it about Leanne and not you. You asked open-ended questions and you did not interject inane questions just to bring the focus back to you. You let Leanne talk and in doing so, the limelight came back to you too as a great interviewer and listener. Thank you both.
She definitely is and I love her! She was married before but so have I been. That’s okay! It happens, unfortunately. 😊
Best comment
I agree 100% !!! ❤😂🎉
Beautifully said…thank you!!!
I totally agree with every word you said. Great comment!
Agree! Agree!!
Love that Leanne’s turning point and light bulb moment is her friend peeing on the couch with laughter at her humour😂 she is such a rock star for us all❤
Just saw her - it was fabulous!! Small theater (1,600 seats) but she sold out two back to back shows per night (3,200 tickets) at the Capital One Ctr. in Northern Virginia. Bought tickets 4-5 months in advance and couldn’t wait to go. My husband and I had a really nice time and I can’t even begin to tell you how much we enjoyed the crowd!!!……we’d never been to an event with that many normal people in our lives and it was beyond comforting. No standing in line with drunk people, nobody smoking something stinky 2 feet away from you, no foul language being said loud & proud, no blaring offensive music, no hookers looking to make a buck, just normal adults conducting themselves respectfully and being polite to one another as we all made a mad dash to our cars so we could be home by 9:30pm. LOL
I so appreciate you Leanne, you have no idea - Thank You, Thank You so much!!
Hugs & Squeezes
Your so lucky! Her humour and civility is what the world is waiting for! We want to be entertained by normal, good people.
Finally middle age women are being seen and heard. Thank you.❤
She's a natural at making people laugh...no cursing needed, just clean comedy gold😊
She's creating an empire. So happy for her. She's talented and deserves it.
She is so down to earth-just a breath of fresh air! What a great interview.
I love this for her! God doesn’t give the vision without the provision 🙏🏾🙌🏽
My husband and I listen to Leanne every night before falling asleep. I can rewatch her and laugh just as much every time. Please come back to San Antonio or Austin so we can see you live ❤
Leanne is an inspiration….funny, intelligent, sweet, charming and talented!
I loved “ I’ll just cook pinto beans and raise grand babies”. I can relate.😁🥰
Right???? I laughed out loud when she said that!
I truly enjoyed this interview. Leanne is so funny and does not forget where she comes from. Great job Abby it looks like you had fun doing this interview.
Thanks Leanne for keeping it REAL ❤
She's 52 they said. Had they had a brain, they would have known she's a perfect age. ALL WOMEN who have had babies, and all men who have been through all the trials women go through, kids, grandparents...ALL OF US LOVE HER. She's hysterical. ❤😂❤😂❤
Everything she said about listening to Leanne during Covid is absolutely true! I don’t remember how I came across her on social media but once I found her I felt like we became best friends. I miss her, miss hearing her talk about her Momma And Daddy,jello salads, her kids. Just love her and So Happy that she’s doing so well. She’s the best comedian ever! Love her❤
Love her! I can identify with everything she talks about being from the south. Netflix special is so great. If anyone is having a bad day you need to watch. She is one of the best female comedians. Happy for her success!,
Love Leanne!! ❤ I also discovered her on YT! Laughed hysterically watching her bit about the Def Leppard concert 😂
Leanne, I saw you on Dry Bar Comedy and couldn't stop laughing. You are one in a million! I'm so happy for you that after all those years of hard work, you were finally recognized for your great talent. ❤
What a wonderful interview! I have been a longtime fan and loved how heartfelt and genuine the conversation was.
I love her to death!! I can def see her doing voiceovers and whatever she wants to do! Can’t wait to see what happens!
This woman has the best comedic timing. Relatable. Back story very interesting. 🎉
Good for you Leanne Morgan!! Rah!! For us older chicks!!
Dry Bar 🍸 is how I found Leanne and it took several times of her popping up before I actually stopped and listened to her 🙃 😅 I was hooked 😂❤ (Oh....P.S.......you are soooooooo worthy) 😉🙃🥰 God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤
Adore her. She’s so genuine, talented, relatable and humble. Onward and forward Leanne! You’ll be walking the red carpet soon.
What a great interview. The world needs Leanne.
I’m about Leanne’s age. My husband is a few years older. HE watches Leanne on CZcams all the time. He is why I watch. We both like her comedy
I'm a mid-40's woman, generation X, super far left politically, queer, single mom in Portland, Oregon. Leanne is not the type of comedy I should like based on my demographic. But I can't get enough of her. And I also love a big, thick, cotton brief. ☺
I think it's because she's kind and genuine.
Leeanne for president😂 what awomen what a wonderful world it would be
Been watching you for a 'hot minute'!!! I am a 63 year old Great GRANDmother and still HIP 🤗 YOU are so worthy of this 'niche', that I say is just not being seen by ignorance. More power to you and don't stop now!!! Hopefully I will be able to afford a show near ATL, or close SC area. You are a breath of fresh air in a very stuffy, hateful world*** love ya Leanne
I found you on Dry Bar!!! So relatable and I'm 71 don"t make fun of me!! LOVE YOU❤
We do need Leanne! Thanks for the belly-laughs! ❤
Enjoyed every moment, wonderful interview. Leanne is an amazing talent and person. Great job Abby.
Lee Anne is a national treasure. No one makes me laugh harder.
This is exactly how women talk to each other. Exactly
I'm 66 years old. I share your videos with my 32 year old daughter
Love you so much! You are so talented. Thank you for wholesome comedy that is hysterical
Leanne your just a God send. Thank you for being you. ❤
I'm taking that advice to heart...salmon and blueberries it is! Thanks, Leanne!
Avacado too. 😂
My friend and I found Leeann on Yt around the time frame of October 2019 and we became obsessed instantly with her!! We were some of those sharing and searching her old content ❤ Also I followed her during Covid and I do think she really helped people survive that dark time!! I just know I am so so happy she found her success because she is one of my all time favorite comedians and one of my favorite humans! ❤❤❤
So real, so funny, so unassuming. Fly girl, fly!!! ❤
what a WONDERFUL SOUL !! Great entertainer .. i’m super glad she has made it !! .. such an inspiration… down to earth .. WOMEN all over the United States .. JUST LOVE YOU LEANNE !! ❤
Her Netflix special really brought mama bear warmth to my hectic work week. She is a gem and always gives us a wholesome experience.
Leanne is THE female
Blue Collar Comedy!!
It could have gone on forever because it is REAL people!!!
I just Love Leanne,,she is so funny, a great story teller, a sweet down home star!!
Very happy I found her on CZcams. I am hooked on Leanne. This woman is hilarious!
Leanne is hilarious, authentic, and yet so humble. A life goal is for me to see her in person! Great interview!
Wouldn't you just love to see Leanne and Dolly together???🥰 they are so real and so genuine. And of course, just precious! ❤
I'm recently retired having graded my students' essays for 40 years and I'd be happy handing out food samples at Costco. Leanne, if that mercantile ever happens, I would love to work for you. I'll bring my new Dyson for vacuuming.
I have watched and made my husband watch Leeann's special on Netflix literally no less than 20 times! And we BOTH laugh ourselves crosseyed every time. It never gets old and we catch something new every time! Im from west Kentucky and used to travel thru Adams, Tn as a teenager every week for years driving my dad to work! I have been a fan and watching her comedy for a very long time and SO relate to her stories and they seem to come to me at just the right times. I was in the midst of brawling in the trenches of teenage turmoil with our only child, a daughter, and Leeann was there to commiserate. Her comedy on the subject helped me forge ahead knowing I wasn't the only mom that's gone thru such nonsense! Her stories about her husband KILL ME! Hubby enjoys those the most lol my husband finds fun to be a mortal sin as well 😂 he also wouldnt think of flying a plane UNLESS i was tossing poison out! I also appreciate and need her warnings about the impending doom of menopause because it's surely in my future!
This lady does not and has not gotten the admiration and success that she DESERVES by enough people! She has more talent than most of the top name celebrity comics out there but because she stays true to herself foremost she may not ever reach that level and that's really sad on one hand but a blessing on the other. Leeann is an inspiration and a wealthy of joy and laughter and touches more lives than she can ever comprehend. I pray she always stays true to who she is, is blessed in abundance, and knows she is loved by many. May God bless her and her beloved family. Much love from west KY 💜
Lee Ann, you one of a kind! Beautiful inside and out, with the Love of God! He has blessed you tremendously, and you are so humble. God continues to bless you! From another Tennessee girl! 🙏🧡🙏
She’s right about filling an ignored niche.
😮😮😊😊
God bless you for
Sharing your life
For its going to help other women during their life as well.
Thank you for being a blessing.
This teaches people you just have to keep working in your life
Because that’s how life is.
Such respect for this ridiculously funny lady who recognizes her blessings and so readily and naturally gives God the glory!
Yep.
Yes!!!
Love love love her and this wonderful interview!!!
So glad I ran across this interview. You truly are a JOY !!! Thank you for the laughs! Marsha in Mississippi
Um NO!
Leanne Morgan is the one that is precious!
Love her! As a southern woman I feel akin to her. Her colloquial manner of speaking is so familiar and comforting to me. I could become a groupie of hers really easily!
She has made me laugh so hard so many times. When I watched her Netflix special I felt so much pride for her. I’m so happy that she has done so well and I hope she will continue making us laugh.
❤️🥰😘
She’s YUMMY isn’t she!!!!!??
Such an excellent interview. Well done ladies 👍 you said it all so perfectly, the americana feel, the women of a certain age niche, all these great inspirational stories. I love Leanne so much. She gives me hope that I could still have a chance. I'm her same age and feel like an old obsolete tossed out toy, like on the island of misfits. She lifts me out of sadness and makes me laugh. Bless her big beautiful hilariously funny heart. Thank you 💞 ✌️🤗
Once upon a time I was looking for comedians that were actually funny. I found this funny blonde and thought to myself. Is she real??? Yes she is!! Now I google her and have watched every single video she has made. MY DREAM WILL BE TO SEE HER IN PERSON! As one of those lil old ladies LeAnn talks about. One day I will be sitting on the front row cheering her on! Come to Orlando!!
Love Leanne!!!! She's real😂 That's why we Love her!!!!
What an incredible, incredible conversation. Much more than an interview.
Thank you, sincerely, for sharing so much of your story, Leanne. ❤
Well, bless those boys in Plano, Texas!
Thanks for doing this awesome interview with this lovely lady ! Been watching and following Leanne for quite a while now and love her . I have 3 grown children and 3 grand babies . I never had a sister but she could be my baby sister !
People are tired of the filth that is Amy Shumer’s and Chelsea Handler’s comedy. Thank you Leanne.
Leanne ... I think you are my best friend ❤. You make me laugh outloud 😅 when all around me seems crumbling on some days. Can't wait to see you in Huntsville AL in July '24 🎉.
She’s so adorable and funny. She can make you laugh til you cry. Thanks again for your great entertainment. Keep it up!
“Unless there is something biblical going on at home” 😂❤😂❤
Saw her in Birmingham last week. She’s so much fun and exactly what we need…clean and funny.
What a brilliant interview, watching from Auckland New Zealand , because you promoted her when she needed the start , she’s giving you the top interview. 😊 now subscribed
I found Leanne recently on Dry Bar and Subscribed in half a second. I don't have children, but I'm the oldest of 5 with a mother who worked. She was an anesthetist, and in addition to scheduled surgeries she was always getting called out on emergencies. By the age of ten I was taking care of my tiny brothers, so I can relate to a lot of her material. I'm 77 now and live in Italy by myself out in the countryside in a building where everyone goes to work during the day. Like Leanne, I am a people person, so it gets pretty lonely. Leanne is a godsend.
Lee Anne speaks for so many women. Thank you!
I started following you during covid! I was taking care of my sweet momma and Daddy too. I couldn't wait to watch your videos. You really did build a Community during that season and we are so excited to where God has taken you. I hope you can add Boston or Rhode Island to your tours. I would love to have a girls night out to see you in person. You are so deserving of all that you have worked hard to accomplish. Keep being authentic, it is what makes you special.😊
You are a gift to the world Leanne ❤ I can recite your stories and laugh myself to sleep.
I am from Jefferson County Tennessee which is between Bean Station and Morristown. I love Leann and can so relate to her.
I found Leanne during The shutdown and she's amazing
She is a very special women and deserves every bit of success,love her!
You are so inspiring to me. I am 56 years old and I was in nursing school and in April 2023, this year I found out that I had breast cancer. I've had chemo and surgery and am starting radiation in January. I have to go through a year of immuno therapy also, but I plan to go back to nursing school. I just have to go through these things, but hearing how you are helping women with vanity fair is inspiring. I've loved you every since I first saw you. You are so funny and down to earth. I love that !!!!
I “found” LeAnne Morgan during the pandemic….a light in the scary darkness of the 2020 - 2022 timeframe amazing how the good Lord works 😉❣️
God is using you in a massive way LeeAnn. Lean In and let him carry you. . . .
Yes YES YES, you made my life so much better during the pandemic and I loved you long before that. I didn’t realize you had such a strong connection to my home state of Texas. I love you and may God continue to bless you all.
Leanne creates and instant connection with people. Great to hear how things are happening for her. May God continue to bless her endeavors. ❤
You both are precious and I absolutely loved this interview! Keep doing you!!! ❤
