i am fully obsessed with her

She doesn’t have a different view of things - she’s just brutally honest. And thanks for that Fran - it’s indeed refreshing.

I love Fran for humor and wit. Thank you making us laugh during this pandemic period.

Fran is awesome!! I'm going to see her in NYC at Town Hall on April 7, 2022! I can't wait!!!! The Fran Lebowitz Reader was great. The funniest section was "Diary of a New York Apartment Hunter".

She is wonderful!

Standup, sketch comedy, and comedic screenwriting are separate art forms from conversational humor, . Fran is a conversational humorist. That is, she responds in conversation with clever and pointed ways of saying things, many of which elicit laughter simply because they deliberately come out of left field. In a sense, the conversant's expectations are the set-up; the unwitting straight man. I regularly get told "Jeez, you should be a comedian". But it is one thing to play against expectations in a formal interaction - like a conversation/interview, and in my case, as a former university lecturer - and quite another to build up to a laugh from scratch. I can make you laugh by turning a phrase this way instead of that, but the humor comes from your expectations of civil conversation. I couldn't prepare a "tight five" to save my life, and I doubt Fran could either. That's not to diminish her charm and skill. Like I say, she is a conversational humorist, which is a different art form. Calvin Trillin is another one, and I imagine Oscar Wilde was as well.

@@angelamoore1832 True. Maybe I picked the wrong comparators, since Fran does a lot more talking than writing. That's not a criticism of any sort. Many enjoy her conversation, and certainly one of the aspects that would be sorely missing in any writing of hers is her *manner* of speaking. I doubt another person's reading of a transcript of her speech would have all the comedic impact of HOW she says what she says.

Fran wouldn't go on anything but the Tonight Show just because it's the premier late night show, even if her Jimmy Fallon is running it. All the other late night hosts are just as annoying to her so it makes no difference.

Totally. He's the worst talk show host ever. The only reason he got this job is because he's a white, handsome, straight man who laughs a lot. Zero talent, and he usually has the most boring conversations with guests. It goes to show that the people who are in charge of this network are all still white straight men who are afraid of anything else.

So good to see that Fran is as perceptive and outspoken as ever.

I love Fran

I had the amazing fortune to attend one of her live Q&A’s. GO if you can! I fangirl’d outside after and she asked me for a light!! HIGH “LIGHT” ;) thrilling. Oh & when you meet GIANTS and they’re petite! I am only 5’8” and towered over her. Anyway, fan since I’m a teen. 💚

Fran Lebowitz is a smart cookie and I tend to see the wisdom in what she says. Thank you so much. I could listen to her all day!

I got to see her talking at a theatre in London last night. She was quite funny. Remarking on millennials and zoomers being nostalgic for the 70s and wanting to know how much fun it was compared to today, she said something along the lines of: “It’s more fun being in your 20s in the 70s than it is being in your 70s in the 20s.”

Jimmy is a spaz in this

I know it's a pay check but honestly don't know how she can stand to deal with him.
