Nick and Leonard interview Karen Morgan, incredible comedian originally from Athens, GA, now living in the great state of Maine. Leonard and Nick talk about the ups and downs of comedy contests.
Afterwards, Karen, known as “Maine’s Funniest Mom”, tells us how she started in comedy like many others; she was encouraged to take a standup comedy workshop.
From a great experience on Nickelodeon’s “Search for the Funniest Mom in America” to a horrible experience on “America’s Got Talent” to an incredible encounter with Steven Wright, Karen has built a great multi-decade comedy career.
Triathlete, attorney, rabid Georgia Bulldogs fan, Karen brings clean smart comedy to people across the country.
She most definitely did not officially give us any legal advice…

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
