Leanne Morgan May Be the World’s Funniest Grandma

Leanne Morgan was raised in Adams, Tennessee, a little farming community not far from the Kentucky border. Her parents ran a small grocery store, and eventually a meat processing plant, but meanwhile Leeanne was nursing dreams of a career in Hollywood. It took her until her fifties to get there, but after more than 20 years of selling jewelry, doing small gigs on the comedy circuit, and some serious ups and downs, she’s now becoming a household name. Last year she had a Netflix show called I’m Every Woman, she’s selling out huge venues nationwide, and she’s just come out with a memoir called What In the World? A Southern Woman’s Guide to Laughing at Life’s Unexpected Curveballs and Beautiful Blessings. Sid talks to Leanne about why the funeral home was a local hangout when she was growing up, how her family reacts to being part of her comedy routine, and whether that accent of hers is really real. They also talk about why Leanne’s story has resonated with fans in such a powerful way.
