I guess category, and as our friend Jimmy Kimmel put it, nice to be a part of that category 'cause it could end up like break dancing at the Olympics and-- - Never come back to see that again. (laughing) - Break dancing at the Olympics. - The last time you see that category, I don't know, but congrats to Miss Amy Polar for winning. - Yeah. - Absolute best podcast in the world. - Yeah, for good hanger. - Good hanger did very well, it was a good hanger. Her speech was a good hang. - Yeah, a lot of good speeches last night. - A lot of good, you know what's fun about, I saw Amy right before, I saw Amy and Joel and the thing in the back, and she was like, oh my god, you guys are gonna win. I go, bull, we have a chance. - Yeah, we've been saying everybody wins for months. - I won 200 bucks. - I bet on her and won $200. - I know, you bet with Krizynski. And then I told Amy that you bet with Krizynski and I go, right from moment one, you know that she's got it locked up when it comes to that. Like, you know, she's-- - She's Ms. Golden Gloves. - Yeah, she's like the darling, yeah. - She deserves it, but she's beloved. - Yeah, for sure. - Yeah, for sure. - Yeah, for sure. - Did you guys meet anybody you were excited to meet last night?

There was a lot of-- - Hold you up. - A lot of nice people said, a lot of people that I really look up to and that I-- - Looney Loved it. - So nice things. - Yeah. - Yeah, George was very nice about it. Yeah, he was very sweet about it. He sent me a nice text and as well and Sandler and those guys. - That's nice. - Super nice. I had some good laughs at one point, Jason was bothering me, pretending that he was working at the after party and he just kept bothering me. (laughing) - I was running the martini card. - He was running the martini card and he goes, "I'll just be right here if you want anything." (laughing) - I'm not vodka engine, vodka engine. - I'm not gonna get into my ear and I just get going, "Would you fuck off?" - Yeah, that's hilarious. - Seani is everything's okay. Sean had to leave early. - Yeah. - And then he has to leave early. - Seani has to leave early. - He's funny how it timed out right to us losing our category that he's-- - That is so crazy. Who could have called that? - Oh my god. - He's so unfortunate timing, but everything was all taken care of. He got home in time. - He ended up being okay. - Evacuate whatever was-- - Yeah, good. - Yeah, no, thank you for your concern. Thank you. Yeah, I know everything was turned out terrific. Yeah, I was just like, you know, it's super fun to go. We, the show Will and Grace, the Will and Grace program, and myself and all the cast and everybody. - No, not the comedy, yeah. - Bring it back. - It was there, he's gay. So they can't be together. (laughing) But they're best friends. But they would be perfect together. But he's gay. - Boy, this guy's a student. He's got a real take on Will and Grace. - The guy in the back of the theater. - That is so funny. But anyway, we've been total nominated a total of 27 times. - No way. - Yeah, and then last night was 28. We never won one. - Is that true? - Yeah, never won. - Will and Grace was up for what last night? - No. I'm just saying total. And then last night was one more that I and-- - All that you were born in. - God yeah, God yeah. - That's 28, no, 0 and 28 at the Golden Globes. - That is correct. Something like that, 26, 27. - I was there, Jay, I was there the night, Jay won one. I was sitting next to Jay and we had a nice deep-- - Oh, that's nice. - For what, Jay? - For Ozark? - Her arrest was for arrested. - Oh, that's great. - Congratulations. - I'll have to. Yeah. I made the mistake of thanking every single person I've ever met in my life. (laughing) - You know what, I remember that. I was really sweet in and you were legitimately surprised. And it was a-- - Yeah. - You have to look that up. I'd like to see that. - Yeah. - You get to have those fun moments. - Nice things don't usually happen for me. - Oh, I know, I know. - Working rough. - Everybody's real concerned about you better rough road. - I was proud of our little bit, the three of us. You know, we were cooking with gas up there. - That's right. - By the way, and I said that Jason, nobody in the history of an award show, has done a bit with her back towards the audience. - I know, it was so good. Jay beat that was trying to create a private moment. (laughing) - It was so funny, I wanted to start laughing at that. - I liked Clooney's and being with Don and Cheeto. - Yeah, that was good. That was good, they were really good. - Anyway, that's good. - All right, here we go, ready? - Yeah. - My guest today is wonderful, she's fantastic. She's living proof that good things come to those who wait. She grew up in Adams, Tennessee, population 600. - Whoa. - Where her parents ran the only grocery meet shop in town. She hung around the local funeral home for fun. After college, she sold jewelry at house parties to help make ends meet. 25 years later, she's finally having her moment at 60, sold out arenas, Netflix specials, best selling memoir, hit sitcom, she's a self-proclaimed Mrs. Mazzle of Appalachia. It's the hilarious, big hearted Liam Morgan. - It's Liam Morgan, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. I know, it's Liam Morgan. (laughing) - I've never seen real so happy. I've never seen Liam. - I've been loved with all of y'all and I may have been in a sinful way. (laughing) - Thank y'all for having me, this is-- - Oh my gosh. - Oh, it's so nice to have you here. - For us too, for us too. - Oh my God, I'm so happy, I love your story. I love that you are having this moment, it's so deserved. You're so funny and cool and original. Oh, I'm so psyched that you're here. - Thank you, I love you. Thank you, now I've got a bagel yelling at me. - Help them boys. - A bagel? - A bagel? - A bagel, a little bagel. - I like bagels. - I'm up on my top floor and she doesn't like for me to talk on the phone. So let me get that out of the way. I'm sitting here in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in Knoxville, Tennessee, and I love y'all. - We love you. - I know. - By the way Liam, when you said you had a bagel talking, you Sean was thinking to himself at the same time, he was like, "I feel like there's a bagel talking to me "for a kitchen shoe." (laughing) - So you're Knoxville. - Me too. - That's amazing. I mean, it is really cool, like Will said, to hear your story and we'll get into this sec. But like, I'm so, I don't even know you and I'm so excited for you for all this happening. - Thank you, thank you. - It's really, really cool. - I've seen it, first of all, congrats on your, I know your show has been this super big hit. So congrats on that. - Thank you. - And then now you're, did you just have a special, a Netflix special, it was in the top 10? - Yeah, it's like exactly. And like you've just having all this stuff and then I've seen you on a couple of interviews and you've got a great vibe. I watched a little bit of your, you're on with Conan and it was so funny. God. - We like that Conan. - I love you. - We love Conan. - I love you. - I know, he was wonderful. - I mean, this guy's working with nothing here. So little talent and then he's managed to like, kind of stay smooth and kind of scotch something together this dude, it's amazing. - Yep, it's all repetitive, but it works. - It is and just think about how little intellect he has and yet he's able to kind of make it work. - Yeah, it makes the hair dance a little bit and he distracts you. - He's higher. - I know. - I know, I know. - Boy, why? - Wait, Leanne, so tell me like to what Will just said, why do you think, why do you think you are hitting at this time right now in your life in this business and all of it, what do you think is going on? - Oh, my long word. I don't know, boys. I guess, okay. I guess, you know, I've been doing stand up for 20 years when this hit, I was in my early 50s. - It's so good. - And I think that, I mean, I was doing the same stuff I'd always been doing and one time I was backstage with Reba McIntyre's ex-husband, Norville. - Mm-hmm. - And he said-- - No, we know Norville well. - Norville. - Yeah. - That has Blake Shelton and all these people, Kelly Clarkson and he said, it's just a phenomenon, Leanne. Like, you've been doing the same thing for 20 years and you, you know, changing up my material, you know, all that, but they went stand up and then this hits, it's like somebody turned a light on in a dark room. But I started doing that social media thing, y'all. I found my audience and I think that I found a niche, a demo, I don't know what you call it, you Baha'li Wood Boys would call it. But a bunch of people that were probably being ignored by Baha'li Wood, I think, and I think-- I spoke to all these darling people that love to be entertained by tickets to theaters. And I have been wonderful to me and they like my sitcom and they watch my spanishals. >> They love your sitcom. By the way, these guys are, I'm from Toronto, I'm just a kid, I'm just an OSHA kid from Toronto it should be on it. I'm just an 18 kid. >> Yeah. We'll fill in all the Hollywood stuff for you guys. >> Okay. >> Sean and I, we got you. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You know, it is interesting that I think our buddy, John Appetal, explained why comedy movies are not doing as good a business nowadays is because social media, there's these great little bite size moments of comedy that people kind of get satisfied by and it is great. I mean, I'm looking at them too. I'm laughing my ass off and it does seem like. >> And it's immediate, right? >> Yeah, but it is helping some parts of the business and maybe hurting others or I don't know. >> I think it hurts. I do. I love a comedy, I love a movie, I've only done one movie and I played Reese Witherspoon's big sister, Gwen. >> With Will Farrell. >> Yeah, that's great. >> He was garlic. >> He will. >> And we had a bowl. But I miss movies like that. I love all of you. >> I mean, I do, I think there's these little snippets and then people just get satisfied with that. >> Yeah. >> And let me tell you all that my sitcom made it to number two on Netflix because the hunting wives came out the same time. All those girls that were shooting boars in their panties. Did you all ever watch that? >> No. >> Wait, what happened? >> No. >> What is it? >> It's hunting wives. >> They'll shoot a wild boar in panties. >> They were shooting boars in their panties, John Appetal. Things like that. >> And then would do sexual stuff with each other, and I could not beat that. You know, a multiple times. >> With that. >> How do you spell hunting? Sorry. [LAUGHTER] >> I mean, it's slow here, but. >> Is that true? I have heard of the hunting wives, but I haven't seen it yet. Is that what we can look forward to if we sample that? >> Yeah. I mean, yeah. I think you would enjoy it, Jason, in the privacy of your own home. And then my special unspeakable things, that's the one that just came out. The first one was I'm every woman. >> Right. >> And I could not believe Netflix gave me a special, maybe, and, you know, at that point. >> Were they both in the top 10? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> That's amazing. >> That's so good. >> I mean, it's so cool. >> Deservedly so. It's funny as hell. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> But so then you think that perhaps the bits that you were releasing onto social media, they caught fire a bit, and then did you then see attendance at your standup gigs get larger. And Netflix took notice of that, and then they said, okay, now you get a special, is that the way that? >> Yeah, that's exactly one hand. >> And then that special brings even more people, and then there's another special. >> And she gets a second. That's the way it comes, right? >> Yeah. >> Jason was in business affairs, so he's trying to figure out how to cover it. >> At one point was the big negotiations, before the first motion, or how far were you guys on your first offer? Okay. >> I think what turned it around, I could not get arrested, I always say that. I could not sell tickets and clums. I was in my early 50s, I already felt like it was over. And then clums would say, we love her, but she can't sell tickets, and I was just about to give up. >> No. >> And then I put out a clamp of me taking my husband, Chuck Morgan, to go see Deaf Lambert and Journey, and how everybody looks sick and had plantar fasciitis. And they went viral, and then I think people sold land, and they were like, what else did she have? >> Everybody looks sick. >> And had plantar fasciitis. >> That is a rough crack. >> Because of the way he walks, that was good. >> Oh, the little boys in Journey, you know. >> Yeah. >> Well, they heard that little guy, that little young guy, he can still play up in squat and stuff. And those old boys, and then Deaf Lambert came out, and I thought, he had a little bond underneath his little chast. >> Yeah. >> We want Jason. >> Is it Benson Boone? Is that the Flippin Squatter? >> Oh, no. He's a skipper in Squatter, but no, the little, they've hired Journey, you know, because Steve Perry had a hip replacement, and maybe they even fell out. Maybe somebody got mad, they fell out. But as we say in the South, but they've hired some little man that can sound like Steve Perry, and he could still move. But all the old boys were in the back, you know, and had a blank stare, and you could, but then Deaf Lambert came out, and had like a little bond under, and I thought, he's got a hearty up. He's wearing yoga pants still, and he has tiny legs, his legs were this big, and he had hair down to here, and you could see through it, and I thought, you could see through it there. And then just, and I had never done that bit before, and I was going to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and I thought, everybody's going to hurt all this mess. I got to come up with something new, and I thought, oh, I'll tell him about me and Chuck Morgan going to see Deaf Lambert in Journey, and then, and that's what did it. And then I got the big penny tour, boys. So then I was, I found myself talking about my panties a lot. So I named it the big penny tour, and then, but that was all like coming out of COVID. So everything was booming, and I was selling tickets. And then your daughter used to run your Facebook account during COVID, and you, because you didn't know how to, you know, like a tech person, and that's when you discovered like, oh, yeah. Oh, my cans were doing it until I hired these darling young guys who, they had during COVID. They helped me. Yeah, yeah. And I was on my bank porch, you know, eating chicken and dress, and well, I don't even will say that funny, y'all, because that's country, like a chicken casserole, and drinking wine. Yeah. Too much wine. And, and then I, then I went on tour, and every picture of me of the big penny tour, I looked sweaty and heavy, and like I was just like chicken, the casserole was coming out of my pores, and then, and I had imposter syndrome, and I was freaked out. And then Netflix bought that, and I, and I did that special. And then, you know, Netflix is the stamp. I think Netflix is the stamp to say, she's legit, this is the real deal, and that changed my life. Yeah. And then Lori came to my house in Knoxville, Tennessee, and asked me if I, he, I would do a television show with him. And this was, and, and talk about, though, before that, there was four other, like, ones that didn't work for you, like, where they pilots or were they actual shows that weren't good. I never shot a pilot, but I did. But I would be in Knoxville, Tennessee, raising my three children. And I guess my first one, I, Warner Brothers and ABC, ABC bought it, and my children were in elementary, and maybe one was in middle school. And I thought that was it. This was it. I'm going to be the next Rosanne. And then the writer's strike hit, that first writer's strike hit, and it was over in a day. And, you know, seven, that was, so that was a while ago. Yeah. And I got three or three more, you know, you get them mixed up. Some of them I think could have gone somewhere. Some of them I don't think were ever going to go anywhere. But I didn't know. I'm not a Hollywood. You know, I don't know all of that. But it's not the way it was, but this, that was not your story. This is your story. And this is kind of the best version of it, too. I think it's awesome. That was not your train, Leanne. This is your train. You're on it now. It's, it's so exciting to watch. Yeah. And Jason has some follow-up questions about the chicken and the porch. Yeah. Was it a white wine, or was it a red wine? Because it was a red, it was a red Jason in the middle of Perry Menopause that made that worse. You talking about wallering in the bed at night, sweat, and y'all are asking each other, how did you sleep? No. Before I came out. No, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. And then, wait, and then did I, speaking about food, you heard, you celebrated it? You're just 60th birthday by going and eating two cakes with the fork at the grocery store. Is that right? Oh, my God. We were in Florida. My favorite beach to go to, Chuck Morgan took me and all these kids and my two grand babies. I've got two grandsons, a blonde and a redhead wheel, because I did Amy Poller's podcast that doll, and she said, we've got, honey, we've got that too. Okay. And they took me down there and we had a one in their toddler. So we stayed in every night. It was wonderful. My kids bought me two birthday cakes from the grocery store, and I stood and ate them at the counter with a fork with an old tankini swimsuit, lands in by and then sleep, boy. Why did we get two, because you have two favorites? Well, my kids, I've trained them that we overeat, but they were like, we know she likes chocolate and the grand babies like chocolate. And then we know that they, I think they wanted Chuck Morgan and he also likes the vanilla and a chocolate. So they said, look at two, because I've raised them that every day's a party. I highly am. Right, right, right. Yeah. And we will be right back. And now back to the show. Can we just talk a little bit about Chuck Morgan, because I love this idea of Chuck Morgan. I like hearing his full name every time. I love it. Now, what's the deal with Chuck Morgan? He's a character, right? He's been a problem for some time. Yeah. I met him at the University of Tennessee, honey, and I had gone through on divorce and had smoked cigarettes. and not going to class y'all like, they would say that, do y'all. But I was ready. - I dropped out, dropped out. - It's all voluntary when you get to college and you do whatever the hell you want, you know? - If I was an idiot and then I went back to finish and I did and then Chuck Morgan, I think is attracted to people who were broken. And so we started dating. - Not a lot of pushback from the broken folks. - So we thought, let's merge this like Kmart and what was that, Sears and let's just run it in the ground. But anyway, so Chuck Morgan and I'm marrying. And then he buys a used mobile home business. He got an MBA and he had never stepped in a mobile home, a trailer and bought a mobile home business and moved me to the foothills of the Appalachia Mountains. All the while y'all, knowing from the time I was little, I'm gonna be in show business. I'm gonna be on television. I knew it from the time I was 10. - Really? - But I just didn't know, you know, I was from the country and farming people. I didn't know how to, you know, I would have loved to have done the groundlings or second city, well, I was raised on Serenac Love. I would have loved to have done, but I just didn't know how. You know, I was this little bitty country kid. - And all through your 40s and 50s and all that, you still held on to that kind of thing that doesn't matter how long it takes. I'm still gonna do it. - When I started, I call myself a true standup when Chuck's own that business and went to work for a big. - Chuck Morgan? - Berkshire Hathaway company, Chuck Morgan. And he moved me to San Antonio and I would go drive back and forth to Austin, Texas, one of the best comedy clubs in the United States was in Austin. And Jimmy Miller, who is Dennis Miller's brother. - We know Dr. Jimmy Miller, he's got a PhD in show business. That's what I always say. We love Dr. Miller. The third brother owned that comedy club and he's the one that sent my first CD, CD, to Hollywood to Jimmy and he gave it to Tom Warner at Warner Brothers and that's how I got that deal. - Hey Tom, Jimmy Miller here. I got a hot CD for you. (laughing) Tom's like, "Oh, great, sounds great. Thanks, Jimmy, thank you." (laughing) Two great guys. - I was 32 when I started doing clubs and I considered myself a real, but I had been doing little gigs in Mars Town, Tennessee in the Appalachia, like somebody say, "Can you come and do your program at the rotary?" And I would get paid $50 to take my babies to mom's day out and go do that. But I started doing clubs and being more, like the real thing at 32 years old. - Who's your hero coming up? Like who are you looking at going, I'd love for my career to go that direction. Was it on a sitcom or was it a stand-up? I loved all sitcoms, but I love stand-up. I love Johnny Carson and watching the stand-ups. So I would watch, you know, Jay Leno, David Letterman. - And for David Brenner? - Yeah. - Yes, and Richard Lewis, I love Richard Lewis. I would watch Ellen Roseanne. When Roseanne was on there, it blew me away, but I loved sitcoms. I grew up, you know, watching W.K. Orping and Cincinnati. - Yeah, sure. - And Cheers and Frazier and all that. But anything to do with, you know, comedy movies, stand-up, I loved all of it. And I just didn't know what I was gonna do and how you can make a living at it. - Yeah, yeah. - Guy, I'm gonna go around the horn. What's everybody's favorite multi-cam sitcom of all time? - All the family. - All the family, your number one? - Yeah. - Yeah, Cheers for me, too. - Cheers for me, too. - Taxi was up there, pretty good, too. - Yeah, and I should say, well, I'm grace, but why would you say that? - Well, we like grace! - We always call 'em us out. - No, no, I mean, 'cause I was honest, so it'd be something else, so it would be awesome. - No, it would be weird if you said it, but, if you were to name your own show. - That's right, that's right. - Let's just say, but yeah, Cheers for me. - Okay, so. - Okay, sorry. What was your, wait, wait, Liam? What was your favorite favorite of all the multi-cam sitcoms of all time? If you had to pick one, Gundam. - I love it. - I don't know why there'd be a Gundam your answer. - I love, I love Lucy. Oh gosh, okay, y'all, let me think. - Yeah. - Does that, I'm really enjoyed W.K. - There you go, okay. - I just loved it. Now, I love Lonnie Anderson, I love-- - Less nassmen. - I loved all those guys on right now. I just, when I think about it, or like three's company, I'm 16. - I love three's company. - Yeah, it is. - Three's company, yeah. - Never has a swinging door been more well-used than a three's company. - All right, all right. - The kitchen, that swing, oh, so. - All right. - Lonnie, surely. - Yeah, that door was small, pretty good too. - Sure. - So wait, when you first started out, you were doing like, Kiwanis Club stuff, right? - Yeah. - Like, community center stuff. And did you know by those earliest, and then you were doing, I said in the intro, you were doing jewelry. - Oh, like, oh, jewelry, right? Jewelry parties. Is that like top-of-wear parties? - Yes, I was selling, 'cause Chuck Morgan, y'all, is tied with money, and people don't believe me when I say that. - I remember that. - We were just in New York celebrating my five-year-old grandbaimies fifth birthday. We took him to the Museum of Natural History and to the Lion King and all that Chuck Morgan, booked me in a Hilton Garden Inn. - You're well as right now. - I'm, I'm, yeah, exactly. - But I mean, you know, I kind of, kind of, I'm a big deal, but he likes to keep us, you know, with a break sound. But so, I wanted to, I wanted to, of course, he was 27 years old, y'all, and had a business and was having to, you know, all these people on payroll. So, I wanted to make a little money. I wanted to stay home and breastfeed my first baby. And I wanted to make a little money and, and get my hair highlighted. And then, so, one of my friends said, I'm selling this jewelry. And I don't even care about jewelry. And she goes, you can meet people, 'cause I was isolated up in the Appalachia Mount. She said, you can meet people, and you can eat a, eat some day up, eat a brownie, sell some jewelry, get up. (laughing) - By the way, I mean, I just had a vision of you just now presenting a necklace with a little bit of dip underneath your fingernails. (laughing) - But you know, she's thinking about other people touching the other vegetables in the dip or the chip, all the other fingers that get in there, right, Jay? A little bit. - Oh, a double-dipper. - But, you know, I look back on, it was really fun. And I sold jewelry to everybody in the Appalachia Mountains, 'cause I was funny, and people thought, they would book me about a year in advance, because I was, they would have a good time. I wasn't talking about jewelry. I kinda developed some of my first material, and I was talking about breastfeeding and hemorrhoids. I always talk about what I'm going through. And women could relate to it. And then I remember saying to a women, 'cause you have to do the pitch at the end, like to book a party with me. And I said, I mean, it's see me and see me get me now with a party or see me in Las Vegas later. - You're right. - It's up to you. And I, but I felt in my heart, y'all, I thought, I'll be on TV one day. I'm gonna be on, you know, I'll be in Las Vegas. I'm gonna be doing, which was crazy, but I thought that. I felt that every time. And then the company noticed. Yes. - You have to see it. You have to see it to believe it. You really really do let that happen. - You don't believe it, you know what else is gonna. - Yeah, so true. - And I always believed it. I've got real worried. And right before I blew up, I told Chuck Morgan, I go, I don't think anything's gonna happen. I feel desperate. I think I'm gonna open up a hardware store. And he was like, that's crazy. And you don't need to do that, Lian. And that's the first time I had down, and I almost quent. And then that's, and I said, these social media boys that I hired who are darling, I'm still with them. And that was, I never spent that kind of money on my career. And I thought I'm giving it three months, 'cause it was expensive. I thought I'm giving it three months. If nothing happens, I know that's a sign. And I will bail out. In the first video, they put out, went viral and changed everything. - Let's kind of shout out to those boys. What are their names, do you agree? - Honest Fox media, and that is Jared and Andrew, and they are precious. And I tell you, y'all, they had a mom. They grew up with a bunch of brothers and sisters, and they got my voice. They understood my brain from the word go. - That's great. - What does Chuck Morgan think about the money you spent with Jared and the boys? - He faulted me on it. - Yeah, of course he did. - Yeah, sorry. - Classic Chuck Morgan. - And I read that Chuck Morgan didn't realize how big your fame was until a gig at University of Tennessee or something like that. You're walking out. - Yeah, maybe when we went to see Lana Rinchie and Earth went in fire. And people, he got me regular tickets. Which, you know, I don't mind sitting regular in so much. - Yeah. - But now I got a bunch of darling middle-aged women, you know, they had a cocktail. And for you know it, I mean, we're all kissing and hugging and I don't see the show, but anyway. Hey, people yelling at me through that, the big arena. And he, and I think he was dumbfounded. - Yeah, well let's say more about that. What happens, all big purchase Chuck Morgan with his Berkshire Highway gig, and you see in the air. - And you're jackassing it back to Austin and it's not for shits and giggles. - Yeah. - You really doing something and all of a sudden Chuck Morgan did for a bit of a reality check. - Security's getting between you and Chuck Morgan. You know, walking back out to the car and he's not comfortable with that, is he? - Well, hey, some of it he loves, Jason. Some of it, I think it's been, it has been something to navigate. I think he does like to go to the University of Tennessee and set up in a box and make Peyton Manning. - Yeah. - Yeah, of course he does. - Who does it? - Does it all Chuckie Bob? - Chuckie Bob. - Wait a second. - He has been a wonderful provider. So I think it was, you know. - We love Chuck Morgan. - Oh, we love Chuck Morgan. - It was hard for him for me to make honey to have this power. You know what I'm saying, boys? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. But let me ask you just a little bit about you saying that Chuck Morgan got you the regular tickets and you don't mind and stuff like that, but now people are yelling out. And that experience of like, because there is that thing of people going, oh, look at those celebrities, they're over in that special thing. And now you're like, oh, I kind of get it a little bit, 'cause right, a little bit, can you speak to that? - Yeah, because, you know, I mean there are, I have wonderful fans. And when I tell you, I go out on those in those theaters or arenas and they stand up and blow me kisses for I've ever said a word. They're precious. They want to see me win. And I think a lot of women in my age are, I think they tell me it's inspiring that this happened to me at this age and it's not over and all of that. But you never know if somebody's crazy. There could be somebody that's unhinged, you know, and you just don't know. And I didn't know, Vant, I didn't know. So when I am, only when I'm in large crowds, they'll have somebody walk with me. But Chuck goes, "We don't need anybody, Lynn, I got it." And Chuck's a big man, he's successful. He's growing, you know, he's fierce. (laughing) - Do you run stuff material by him at all? Like you're like, is this funny? Is this not or does he know? I don't because, hey, now, he'll say to me, you need to say that, or tell him this, Lynn. Like he'll remember something and say, "Why don't you tell him that?" And he's given, he gives me a lot of good material, y'all, because he's peculiar. - What about your kids, do you, do your kids think you're funny? - He's peculiar. - They do, they do. - Do they give it up? - They're annoyed by me too. Yeah, they do, they'll go, "Girl, you're funny." But they also think I've gotten kind of diva-ish. - Yeah. - Oh, do they? - Yeah. - Well, they are all grown, they can cook. You know, I get home, I've been on the road, y'all are on the road, y'all know you get home. - Mom's tired. - Exhausted, you're staring out into space, could somebody else bowl the macaroni? - Right. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Mom's hammering it. - And then when you were, you got, - With how many kids you have? - Three, a boy and two girls. - Right, and you said, "Baby's come first, comedy came third." So, was that implied that you're second or like, what second? - Oh, lower, I don't know, I didn't feel second. What would that be? I mean, being a wife, probably. Did I say that out of my butt hole? - Okay. - So it's mom, it's mom, wife, career. - Yes. - Now, but now, the kids are out of the house, yes? Chucks, doing just fine. He's got a brand new chair that he loves. He spent all day in that chair, now he's good. And so now, do we get to move a career up to number one now? - Yeah, it's number one now, Jason. - There we go. - And I feel bad, because I am the mom, and they do still need me some, but yes, this has taken over everybody. You'll know what that, I go live out in LA part of the year to shoot. And so I can't be there for, I miss my family so badly. And they come out back and forth to see me and I'll go home. But yeah, it's taken over everything. - So wait, so this is the sitcom you're shooting out here, right? - Uh-huh. - Now, that schedule, that schedule does free you up quite a bit, doesn't it? That's a real nice schedule, those sitcoms, that the Chuck Lori world, oh mama, are you doing just four day weeks over there? - No, we do, well, we do a table read on Monday and then rehearsal Tuesday, Wednesday, and then pre-shoot Thursday, and then live audience Friday. - Yeah, right. How I'm slide that table read over to Friday, right before you start shooting, and you can free up that Monday. - Yeah. - You spend more time in Chattanooga. - Yeah. - Yeah, there you go, that's not a bad idea. - Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, there's a new plan, you know? - Yeah. - God. - Oh my god. - Do you, Jamie, you're running to Chuck Lori like today, and he's gonna be like, he's driving range. I mean, isn't that, isn't that kind of, it's so great that you're so used to a live studio audience since you toured it all? - Oh, that changed everything. - It's probably, yeah, it probably relaxes you, no? - It does, and I, I'm telling y'all, this scared me too, Danyeth. I had always wanted this, you know? And then you're like, oh my gosh, did I, why did I wish for this? 'Cause at first it was so stressful. And Christian Johnston plays my sister, who is a pro. And she has to say, tell me what to do, and had to do her job, and then teach me. I was like, what is that? What are y'all talking about? So at first I was terrified. And then, and Reese Winterspoon said to me, it's the best schedule in television lean. It's the best thing you could do. And we shoot two weeks on, one week on. - Two months. - Chuck Lori, that's the way he wants it. - It used to be three. That's, this is very, look, how great. Now, are you able to cross paths with the great director, Jimmy Burrows at all? I have not met him yet. No, and I've heard of them say something about him. - He's the greatest. - I did have Andy Ackerman for an episode. - You're very good, very good. - And I love him, and I'm hoping I get him on some of these this season. I loved him. That was my favorite episode. - Are you shooting over Warner Brothers? - I think so. - That clicks a lot, yeah. - Warner Brothers, on the Friends Lot. I mean, on the Friends Sounds stage. - And do you, is it a lot of, do you rely on a lot of your own family stories to write stories for the show? - No, not really. I mean, they, they listened to every podcast, read my book, watched all my stand-up. So it's based on my stand-up. But, but, I mean, they'll get ideas from me, but not, I mean, they're, I've got a really, I've got Nick Bakkeye. - Because when I was reading, when I was reading about, all your family stories are so fucking funny. The, can you say the one about the ski trip and you're, and one of your kids getting hurt? (laughing) - Oh, when, when I fell off the ski lamp, are you talking about, when I fell off at 49 years old? - No, one of your kids, I wouldn't know what you had that, but one of your kids scared of, you know, shared a personal observation about themselves. - Oh, are you talking about when the baby, who is my makeup artist, who is my true makeup artist, own tour, she says now she's my caregiver and she hates that. But, she's also my, my makeup artist, own the saint, it won't be for others. But, she's your youngest kid? - The baby, aha, and she's been a booger. I'll just tell y'all, I mean, while I'm with her, she's funny, she's so funny, and she has been like Chuck Morgan, she's a lot like her Danny, very strong way on, she's been a lot. And we were, they were great Colorado. She was, and I think that was one of the two or three times we had been already. All right, everybody goes off skin. This baby is on the gondola with me to go up to the, the bunny's tongue, which is not far to get up on that. And it's just me and her. And in that short amount of time, she takes all of her clothes off. - Yeah, she's hot. - And you know, skin is hard. I've never enjoyed it. Chuck Morgan loves it. (laughs) It's like, I compared it to working in a coma. - Ooh, wow, wow. - We now go skin because I gotta get everybody dressed. I gotta make lunches for everybody. Because chicken tenders cost $45 up on that scheme out in Chuck Morgan don't go for land. But anyway, she, I said, why are you taking your clothes off? And she said, my butt hole is. (laughs) - You can't get to it through all those layers. - You cannot get to it. - They're all those, they're all for clothes up. - And let me tell y'all, I have been doing that on tour. I've been trying to work out that band about snow skin because I hate it. I'll go, I'll stare at rich people, but I don't ski anymore. Okay, and she said to me, Mom, can you tell people I was four or five years old? You did not tell them, they think I'm grown and that I took my clothes off my butt hole was it. - Right. - So then I had to put in there, I thought, oh my God. So then I started saying, okay, she was four or five years old and her butt hole was itching. But yeah, I've had more people go, oh my gosh, that snow skin. 'Cause you know, it's so hard with little children. - Oh yeah. - And is it true you bring your whole family to some of your Netflix especially? You brought your whole family for the first time? - Yes. - And what are they, and what, yeah. - They came out on the first one. And I just, I don't know, I just naturally thought that was the thing to do. - And they'd never seen you do anything like that. - No. - Yeah. - And they were in shock. And then I brought them out on the second one and each child now introduces me. So Charlie, my oldest introduced me on the first one and then Maggie, my middle child, introduced me on the second one. But you don't believe how many people have said that so sweet you brought your family out and we want to see your family 'cause you tell all these stories. - Yeah. - And I don't know, it just seemed natural to me to bring them out. It really wasn't that calculated. I just thought, oh, look at my family. - Yeah, we went on tour. I brought my sister out and the audience is like, thought it was like, you know, Elvis guac dazs. We'll be right back. And back to the show. - Well, it doesn't get a little tricky with the stories. I mean, perhaps some of them, you might need to embellish to trip it into hysteria and then do some of them get a little, their nose out of joint. Those like, well, you know, you always say like that I'm the one that's dirty or that I'm the one that's lazy or that I'm the one that would like to have to kind of divvy it up evenly so that you don't get a bunch of heat when you get home. - Yeah, yeah. - You know, the only time anybody's given me any grief over it and said do not speak my name when they went through middle school. Right. Middle school. Everybody was paranoid and angry and puberty and I did not that was a dry time for me. That's the only and then they got in high school and they were like, we don't care what you do. And y'all I wasn't working that much. I mean, I was working but it was so painful that nobody cared. And then college, you know, they didn't even know who I was. And then they all I always say, is this okay? And now they even say to me, mom, you've never told this story. Tell this one. Oh, that's great. So now everybody's in on it and they're fine. The only time Chuck Morgan ever said to me, don't you ever say that again? It was the one of the first times I was on stage. I'll just tell you boys, I'd breastfed three babies. My breast looked terrible. They had sucked up into my body. They were like a little wadded piece of tissue with like in the bottom of a tube song and I had life left in me. I had life left in me and I was 32 years old and I wanted to get my breast done. And I said, one of the first times I was ever on stage, I said, I want to get my breast done, but it's been a bad mobile home year. And Chuck Morgan said to me, don't you ever say that again? You know I can write a check for your breast today. I've always provided for you and it hurt his feelings. And so I've never said anything, well now I say it on interviews, but now I mean, after that I never said it again. I love that Chuck Morgan took issue with you when you talked about a downturn in the mobile home. That was the only thing that bumped him out. That's so good. What a dude. That's such a dude thing. Do you guys currently have a mobile home that you guys like to travel around in? No, these are the con Jason, they're not even those. This is the con that you, a double wide, if you ever heard of that, my darling. This can be like a whole living out where you put it on a foundation. This is the one of the largest home builders in the United States and he has worked for them for over 30 years. Again, it is a Warren Buffett company and they have sent us to Cancun. Oh, wow. I mean, yeah, boys, yeah, Jason, Jason, Jason's been on a couple of motor home. Who'd you go with, JB? I forget. With the life Garrett, we went on a nice, nice ski tour. Oh, my lower one. Yeah. There was snow of a different kind. Yeah. I got some video of that trip. I got to find. Which I'd do like an RV would be fun. You had your mountain bikes with you too, didn't you? Yeah, up on the roof there. You could travel from the mobile home lot where we plug in, dump, dump, dump, dump, dump, trash and then bike into town. Oh, God. Oh, yeah. God. It's good times. So wait, Leanne, you were going to be, is it true you were going to be a therapist at one point? Did you study? I did study. I wanted to be a child family therapist if I didn't make it in Hollywood. Wow. I love all that. I still love that. I loved my degree and I loved all that. And you know, I look back on it and I think during COVID when I was ringing my hands and drinking wine and eating a chicken casserole, I should have gotten a master's online. Oh, yeah. Did you get a degree in psychology? I got it in crisis intervention counseling and under child family studies. Wow. Wow. Wow. That's cool. After I went back, after I went back and got through all that bad time, then I buckled down and studied. But yeah. It makes me think, you know, sometimes when you see like one of my favorite movies is King of Comedy when Jerry Lewis played a very sort of severe, serious talk show host behind the scenes. And comics, particularly stand-up comics, always have this exciting, darker, quiet side. Do you, I started thinking about this degree you've got and therapy, and I was like, do you ever fantasize about playing a role where it's, it's, it's dark and it's quiet. And there's this sort of this flip side to, to the character. I mean, do you have like acting aspirations like that? I do, Jason. Yeah. And you all would know better than I do if I could even do it. I bet you'd be great. But I would love to do drama and I would love to do a darker character. You'd be great. You can't do what you do without that side being under it all. Yeah. We get it. We know what you're doing. You should get, you should get after that. Yeah. Thank you, Mondarlin. I would love to. Yeah. I don't know if anybody would take me seriously. Sure. They would be exciting. Jason, the big director, Jason. We'll talk about you. The big time. Big time. Big time. You're a big time director. You are. You are. Yes. But no, that would be, that would be very cool. So, you know, more exciting, even more so now that everyone is so excited and familiar with the flip side of it and you show them what's behind the curtain, Leanne. I would love that. I love that. Leanne, do you, you said, somebody little tiny things like you, you love doing laundry, which is like what? We love doing laundry and then and gas station, your favorite gas station snack on tour because it hurts. You love grabbing stuff at gas stations like when you're on tour, what's your classic snack? Honey, we have to, I don't want a bold egg, but I tried to because I don't want my butt to look big on TV. That was a strong boy's. That was a shock. You know what I don't like? I don't like boiled nuts, which, you see a lot in the sound. Like warm nuts? No, no, boiled. Like, they're in a bag, like a wet, fricking bag with it and it makes the peanut shell all soft and sometimes they're a little spicy and I, I'm a big peanut fan. And so I tried to get into it over and over again, they're in Georgia all the years I've spent there. I just can't get there, but I feel like it might be close, no, no, don't stop drowning. I never cared about a bold peanut. Yeah. I try to eat nuts, you know, because they, you know, a handful of nuts, I don't want to get in a men's chair or whatever, but I don't wait. Does that help? I think some, like, walnuts in brain health, I think so, Omega's something. Omega's in there. But now Chuck Morgan now, Chuck Morgan can go to a gas station, make a full meal with bold eggs and because it's cheaper and relish in a male packet and make his own egg salad. But it being on tour, you all know what that is. I'm constantly getting, you know, trying to get in protein because I'm 16 and everybody yells about women having all that protein, but it's hard on the road. Who's cooking in the house? Does Chuck know how to throw a meal together when Mama comes home super tired from all of you just hammering it? He can make do. Yeah. Because I, you know, I was the stay at home mom and even though I was doing stand up, I was, I cooked every meal. I, I am my country, I'm from the country. We cook, we put everything into these children. I was doing all my it and doing everything, you know, cuz he was right. That house always smells so yummy. What's your, what's your go to meal? So fancy folks coming over and you want to, you want to, you want to really wow them with how you can make this particular. Oh, y'all. I don't feel like, I don't feel very fancy, but. No, it doesn't need to be a fancy dish. These people need not be fancy, but when you know you make, yeah, if you're looking to brag a little bit. I can make a good chicken baccata. Oh, look at that with the capers, sure. With the capers, lemon, with a chicken, chicken breast. I can do that with a little angel here. There's a lot of water retention on the capers. Is there really? My friend Josh, our friend Josh, he once told me that he ate chicken baccata, I think something like 87 days in a row and a real low point in his life. He was looking a little puffy a few months. Again, who's your outside of your family and your and Chuck Morgan, who's your best? Who's your friend that makes you the lap, lap the hardest or who makes you just gaggle? I tell you, the Karen Meals, who is a standup who's been doing it longer than I have, has been my saving grace in this whole thing because we can imagine y'all. My girlfriends, you know, their husbands are executives, they're out playing tennis, they're all, you know, getting new countertops. And I love them and I love them, but they don't understand the comedy mind. You know, you got to be around other comedians and Karen Meals opens for me on tour, not all the time because she's got her own thing going on. But I can't tell y'all how grateful I am to have her, we laugh so hard together. You know, go back and forth with her about material. And then when we've had, through the years, I had to do a lot of private corporate things because I had three tuners and couldn't stay gone. And I would do a gig and then call her and say, "I'm quitting." That was the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I wish somebody had shot me while I was on stage. And then she would call me on the way home from a horrible gig and say, "I'm quitting." And I'd go, "No, you're not." But we had each other. But you know, it really helped me to have somebody, because I'm in Knoxville, Tennessee. And I'm not around in Nashville. My work's ain't these all the time, and my concert promoters are out in Nashville. Nashville's a huge comedy scene now with Nate Burgazzi, John Crest, Theo Vaughan, all these people. And I get to be with them, but all these years I was on my own. And this mom, you know, and everybody else was talking about school stuff and stuff that I was involved with with my kids. But I needed somebody. that understood what I was going through. 'Cause it's hard. Staying up is hard. - The hardest? - You know, and you drop 300 miles and make $50 and all that kind of stuff. - All right, how do you handle when it's, what you were saying, sometimes like some of those gigs, it's just a little worse, somebody shoot me like, how do you handle that when the audience is just not? Like they're distracted, they're talking, they're drinking, maybe they're having a meal or whatever. Like do they ever get nasty? Do you ever feel like, well fuck this, I'm gonna engage with these people and like get after them a little bit or maybe a heckler or something, does it ever get, does it ever get like not fun and contentious? - It's not fun, and there's times when you feel gutted, you know, coming out of doing a show for men that make carpet fomber, but I don't get contentious. I don't go there, Jason, because I'm too sissy. If I started, you know, going after somebody, then if they came after me, then I don't feel, and people have never heckled me. Like I only get like a drunk woman saying, I gotta see section, you know, I get that kind of stuff. I don't get, you know, people coming after me, and I think it's 'cause I'm a mom and people are, and they can tell I've got a sweet spirit, and they don't wanna come after me. - Yeah, good. - Right, right, right. - But yeah, the some of these corporate things will kill you. - What about cursing? Do you ever, do you, there's some, there are comics that cursing comics that don't, correct, isn't there? There's like, there's a demarcation line there. - Yeah, and I don't, and I love, like I'm a huge fan of Dave Chappelle. Oh my gosh, I love all kinds of comedy, and I don't care if they cause, I've never done it, but I think it's 'cause I started out, you know, with little children, and I didn't wanna say anything that I didn't want them to say. - Yeah, it's fine, almost funnier with that. - And it just wasn't in my thing, you know, but I don't mind it when other people do it. But yeah, there is kind of a, there's a line. - Yeah, it's like, I always love that about Nate too, you mentioned Nate Bergazzi, where I love, and it's such good dude, and he's so funny, and he never cusses, it's amazing. - Doesn't, huh? - Yeah. (laughing) - No, I don't know, I don't know. - No, he doesn't, he doesn't. - Leanne, we're gonna do some rapid fire, and then I'm gonna ask you one last question. Okay, ready? - Okay, my dollar is rapid fire. - Is it news section? - Yeah, I don't know this. - I'm gonna need some sting music to tell you that I love this, sure. - I'm gonna give you a little fun. - Rubb, rubb, rubb. - Shonz, shonz, shonz, rapid fire section. - There's only like five of them, ready? Sweet tea or bourbon? - Well, I'd even say bourbon. - Oh, love that. Jello salad or banana pudding? - Banana pudding. - Country music concert or arena rock show. - Or what kind of rock show? - Like a big arena rock show. - A arena rock show, like the journey to death, everything. - I'd probably go for a rock show. - Oh wow, live studio audience or on location or like touring or something. - Love studio audience. - How about that, early bird or night owl? - Early bird. - Oh wow, pizza or barbecue ribs? - Pizza. - Pancakes or bacon? - Pancakes. - Levi's or Lycra? - Levi's. - What, I answered all of the stuff. - I don't just listen to all the stuff that's in front of him right now, by the way. He's just looking at stuff in his room. (all laughing) - Pizza and ribs, Lycra and cheese. He's just looking at shit that's in his, in his view. - There's an open box of pizza in the corner. - Yeah. - Banana pudding's like, I'm gonna get after that. Banana pudding. (all laughing) - Leana, I wanna leave you with the first of all. This has been so great. I just want you to say, you know, you said your message is over and over again, is about women of a certain age, as you said. It's not over for us. What does that mean? What would you tell your younger self about that? Growing up, by the way, we didn't even talk about you moving to a town called Bean Station. But anyway, Bean Station. - I just, I'll go right y'all, being in Hollywood with these young girls that are at these entrances. First of all, if I'd have moved to Hollywood at 20, I'd be on dope. Let me say that, I don't know how they've done it. I think, you know, because I'm 60 years old and who I am, that I'm able to handle all these. But I tell young women all the time, 'cause they all think, and I remember feeling at 30, like I'm old and 40, it's over. And I feel like I'm smarter than I've ever been. I'm better if I crafted. Took me 20 years to figure out how to do these. - Yeah, yeah. - And I just think, it makes sense when people make it big, like Bill Burr, I heard him in an interview saying, it took me 20 years, I couldn't sell tickets, I couldn't do anything. And it was a slow build, but who I am, and why it's happening to me, you know, all this is happening to me at this age. I just think, it's crazy to think that, and I know, y'all have been big deals since y'all were young, and that's more normal, and y'all get so much joy to all of us. - Well, big, get, like-- - But I do think there's something about, you know, honing a craft and-- - And learn, like you said, learn, like you're at 60, you know three times as much as a 20-year-old. - And so that informs the things you can access when you're talking about funny shit, you know? It just, like, makes so much more sense. - I'm still doing the multiplications after changing this on that. - Yeah, it's also a privilege to get older, you know, like, 'cause the only other choice is dying, you know? - Right, it's right. - Like, it's like you want to get as old as possible, 'cause if you don't, you die. - You're dead. - That's your choice. - Bring the wrinkles on. - That's why, eating those two cakes and that stretched out Tain Keeney Swimsker meant the world to me. I thought, I thought 60 was gonna be rough on me and I thought, oh my gosh, I'm so thankful to have my health and I'm having the time of my life. This is crazy what's happening to me. It's like, winning the lottery. It's like, God's put down at the carnival and picked up one of those little ducks and said, "It's you, girl." I mean, you know, I just feel so blessed while I love it. - And when you're doing it real well and this has been an enormous pleasure. - Thank you. - Sean, be honest, be honest. Did it make you think about order getting a cake today? - 100% I just wrote it down. - You did. (laughing) - And I put it to you next to it. Leanne, you are, you can see why you made it. You're just an absolute unbelievable joy. - Yeah. - And more Leanne. - All your success is so deserved. It's so awesome to talk with you. - Thanks for talking to us today. - Thank you all. I mean, love with all three of y'all. - Oh, I like that guy. - Y'all are dornly. Y'all've given so much joy. I hope y'all know that to all of us people out here in the middle of the United States. - Okay. - Let us know when you're gonna do a set out here in Los Angeles on the con. - Okay. We all will be working on that new hour, Jason. - Come on. - All right, Angel. - You Angel. Thank you for this today. - Thank you, my Lord. - Have a great rest of your day, Leanne. - Thank you, Leanne. - Thank you, Leanne. - Bye, bye, bye. - Bye. - Bye, bye. - She'll have a great guest. - I know, she was great. I, you know, Scotty loves her. - Yeah. - And I did too, but I mean, he's seen every single thing she's ever done. - Scotty turned you on to her? - Yeah. - And I was like, "Oh, she is really funny." - She's really funny. - I can hear her talking about Chuck Morgan all day. (laughing) - I wanna see him. - He's up a lot. - He's so fun. - He's got to come out on stage. - Oh, but maybe fine. I wanna talk to that guy. - Book him. - All right, book him. Don't shout it.
