Fame! That mystical quality that often leads young stars to crushing downfalls, addiction, financial ruin, even personal tragedy. So, is it better to become famous later in life, when you hopefully have the wisdom and experience to handle it?

For one Tennessee housewife and in-home jewelry salesperson Leanne Morgan, success didn’t happen till her late 50s. That’s when her incredible talent, perseverance and whit enabled her to go from playing small comedy clubs, to arenas, landing a Netflix special, and getting the part of Reese Witherspoon’s big sister in her upcoming comedy with Will Ferrell!

When Peter saw Leanne perform, it evoked memories of comedic timing reminiscent of Joan Rivers. When Jason caught her stand-up act, he immediately fell in love. And apparently, he’s not the only one. Her first YouTube comedy special reached - over 50 million views! Really, no Really!

And we’re happy to say Leanne is joining us to talk about her special brand of Southern-inspired comedy and what it’s like to hit it big… later in life.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • How a woman peeing on a couch led Leanne to a her successful career in comedy. Really!
  • Dealing with kids leaving home, beagles’ buttholes and menstrual mishaps.
  • Popcorn tubs, hernias & plantar fasciitis aka, date night at a Journey Concert!
  • Learning what a table read is with “little” Reese Witherspoon & Will Ferrell.
  • Talking about family in your act-even when they don’t want you to!
  • What it’s like for Leanne to ‘make it’ in her late 50s.
  • GoogleHEIM: The top 10 things you SHOULD NOT DO…If you don’t want to look old (#10 is controversial)
