Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along.

I am extraordinarily excited to bring in my conversation this week with my guest, Leanne Morgan.

I'm always excited to bring you these conversations because I have so much fun talking to my guests,

but Leanne Morgan is one of the funniest and most charming people I've ever had the opportunity to sit down with.

Leanne, you may recognize from her stand-up specials on Netflix.

One of them is number one on Netflix right now.

It's called Unspeakable Things.

You might recognize her from her star turn in the Reese Witherspoon Will Ferrell movie. You're cordially invited earlier this year. She is, I don't know, she's a force of nature. She's just so naturally funny. She's got the thick southern accent. She grew up on a farm in rural Tennessee right near the

Kentucky border. She's been at this stand-up comedy thing for 25 years, maybe even a little bit more.

She'll talk about it. It all started because she's naturally funny. She was selling jewelry,

like home-to-home at house parties. And she was so funny as she would sit and talk to

the women, this is going back 25, 30 years, that they said, you should be a stand-up comedian.

She had three young children at home. She didn't think that was possible. But then at night,

after she'd get the kids in bed, she'd go do open mics and gigs around where she lived. Turns out

there was an audience for it. But the climb has been long because she's been a mother. She's been a wife, as she talks about. Now she's a grandmother. She's had priorities in life, but she stayed at this comedy thing. She's come to the brink of what she thought was going to be her big moment, and then it hasn't happened for her. But just in these last few years,

she has blown up. She also has the hit show Leanne on Netflix, which was like the number two

show of this year on Netflix, wildly popular just behind the hunting wives, as she talks about

hilariously. She just got a great story to tell, great observations about being a mother, being a woman, being from the South, all of these things, all through that syrupy, thick, southern accent, but really leading with her charm and genuine, honest to goodness, natural sense of humor.

I love her.

She's so funny.

I think you're going to enjoy these next several minutes
