Leanne Morgan on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with LM Leanne Morgan

The Hang, in Short

Amy opens with Kristen Johnston, who describes Gen Z as incredibly open and teaching her so much, then adds they "always dress like they have the flu." Amy cracks up. It's perfect. The two bond over smoking on airplanes in the '80s and how their generation was truly feral (drinking from garden hoses, staying out till midnight at six years old). Kristen explains how Chuck Lorre called her about playing Leanne Morgan's sister in the new Netflix show Leanne, and she fell for the standup after watching just ten minutes. The Gen X love fest continues as they riff on being the forgotten generation (they don't care, actually prefer it) and how they're finally talking about menopause unlike their Boomer moms. Kristen's accent work comes up. She can nail it with Leanne around but becomes "cartoon southern" otherwise. Amy's Boston accent is officially retired unless she's angry.
