Chuck Lorre first met farce comedian Leanne Morgan in her 2023 Netflix special “Every Girl” which became a smash of the platform. Morgan, a Tennessee 50-year-old mom and now grandmother, resonates with the “two and half men” and the “big explosion principle” comedy Titan.
“It's actually easy: I noticed her standing, and I went, 'Oh, my God. That's a real voice.'” said Laurey-Lorre famously received his start writing sitcoms for people like Roseanne Barr and Brett Butter. “It's her identity. Her supervisor mentioned, 'Do you want her to please? She might go to you.' I went, 'You know I should go to Knoxville. So I went to Tennessee to spend time with her family, so they were just great people. ”
This ultimately led to the creation of her upcoming Netflix sitcom “Leanne” (from Warner Bros. TV), which premiered on July 31. Morgan said she has a lot of improvement quotes, creating a lot of improvement quotes with Matt Williams (Who Sonders'Roseanne”) and Sony TV's Matt Williams (who created “Roseanne”). But, that feels completely different.
“When Chuck Lorre flew to Knoxville, sat on my porch again, grabbed my grandfather and asked me if I did the gift of TV with him, the whole thing was looping,” she said. “My husband sat and watched the “Big Bang Principles Every Night” and it was a long night.
Netflix quickly caught Lorre's wind. “I got the name of a person mentioned from someone on Netflix, ‘We think you’re talking to Leanne Morgan. If you were doing something there, would you call us?’” Lorre recalls. “Since she stood on Netflix, they'll need some dark, profound arithmetic about it.”
Of course, streaming has been busy building its “Netflix is a joke” enterprise, and now creates sitcoms around some of these stars.
“We work with top comedians from the whole person on the stand-up side,” said Tracey Pakosta, the head of comedy at Netflix. “As everyone knows again in a day, most of the people in these exhibitions are very common and resonant, and once you find someone who really really really sounds, it's wise to rely on it. And Leanne is a total ability.”
Additionally, it's a return to the 190s comedy Frenzy – it's all huge when expertise like Barr, Jerry Seinfeld, Tim Allen, Drew Carey, Martin Lawrence and Ray Romano all moved from stage to scene.
“That’s my purpose,” Morgan said. “It was my dream as my age to appear on TV standing and loving.”

Netflix has expressed enough opinions on the current (and Lorre's involvement) to come up with an unprecedented 16-episode command. Morgan performs a girl in “Leanne” prepared in Knoxville, and her life is turned upside down when her husband (Ryan Stiles) leaves her immediately.
Fortunately, Morgan is married, in order to make part of the story not an autobiography – however, her career over-employment in her 50s, will be completely related to the character’s massive life adjustments. This is a study of how to star on her personal TV.
“I received these scripts for three weeks in elementary school, and I was in every scene before, and I never found such scripts,” she said. “I don't know what the blockage of digicam is. I didn't even find movies to be there in Warner Bros. in Burbank and movies, and everything is new to me. I used to be overwhelmed. I'll be in October 60. My life isn't over, but my life is a little tired for me, but I haven't studied it there, and I did some research there. When I get shocked and overwhelmed, it's fast.”
Morgan mentioned that she received some advice among all the comedy heroes: Jerry Seinfeld, a former fan, reached out to provide some encouraging phrases: “He mentioned, ‘I tell you, Ryan, you’re going to stroll through that scene and it feels a lot like residence.’’ With the tips on it, that’s what he wants.”
Plus, Morgan’s daughter is her makeup artist, who travels with her to Los Angeles, and her co-star embodies sitcom veterinarian Kristen Johnston (“Solar-powered Third Rock”):
“We threw her into the depth of finish, too. In the first few episodes, she actually had some dramatic scenes. There was no requirement that she just play a card and tell a joke. She needed to go from zero to 100 and then be an actor in a short time. He or she did it.”
