I once saw her driving out of a christmas tree lot alone with a tree tied to the roof of her car and she had the biggest smile on her face.

Molly Shannon is a bloody legend. Comedy or Drama, she is brilliant. And what a great human being! I can't wait to read her book!

Molly Shannon is the kindest celebrity I have ever met. I knew where she would be and I was waiting to meet her and request an autograph and you would’ve thought she was my fan. I’ll never forget her kindness and grace. She is an exceptional woman who makes you feel special just to be in her presence.

She probably developed her super funny personality to deal with all of that even maybe hide her sadness or to try to make her dad happy. She looks happy all the time. She so funny and we can see she is a genuine good person.

Molly is pure joy.

My father was killed in a plane crash when I was six. I totally understand. Unless you’ve gone through something like that, you can’t imagine how devastating and how lonely you feel. And I was so scared the whole rest of the time I was growing up that something would happen to my mom and I’d be an orphan. I’m 76 years old now, I had a good rest of my life, but there’s just some part of it that you never get over.

That’s so true. Hubby was 5, when his father, tired over a Thanksgiving day, pulled out in front of a driver, killing his 24 yr old wife and unborn third child, injuring the two year old girl and five year old son. Hubby claims it’s the only memory of his mom, blood all over her face and not responding to his calls of ‘Mommy, mommy?’ It marked the rest of his life, right up to when his dad died after retiring. My husband felt guilt over the relief of the fear of his father leaving him, when he finally did. Life is so damn hard.

Molly Shannon's "Valerie Bassett" character on "Will and Grace" is one of that show's unforgettable highlights. Molly epitomizes the French expression "Joie de vivre."

I met her when she came into the little store I worked at out at the local airport here in Savannah, Ga. She was so extraordinarily sweet and just so funny, and 100 times more beautiful in person! I love this lady! I had no idea about this terrible tragedy in her past.

I am so deeply sorry for what Molly has gone through. I don’t know how, but she has managed to come out the other side and bring so much happiness and laughter to SO many people! I thank her for that! She is a ball of sunshine!!! ☀️☀️☀️

I love Molly. Unbelievable the tragedies she went through.

Absolutely love Molly Shannon. She is a brilliant performer, and her soul just radiates joy! Will definitely enjoy reading her book.

Omg that must be the hardest thing to experience ever 😢😢 I wish her all the best ❤️❤️

Molly Shannon has always been a figure I looked up to. Being the goofy, weird girl I connected to her and her characters SO much. I had no idea she lost family in a car accident. My sister was tragically taken in a car accident 7 years ago. Her death has had such a profound affect on my life not only with grief, but self discovery. Upon losing her I lost everything I thought I knew and needed and found everything I've need to be and found the rive to strive to always be better and good. To look out for myself and for others. To draw from other's knowledge and to stand in my power and my truth. Drew, you may not read this, but damn your show, your impact and your legacy sets you apart from so many but connects you to SO many more!! THANK YOU xoxo

I absolutely adore Molly. Such an inspiration and such an incredible person. So genuine. I wish I could just spend a day talking to her.

“I like to kick! Stretch aaaaand KICK!”Lol she is the best and seems like such a great person too.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Drew went through her own rough childhood getting into drugs extremely young because of certain things within her life. They should be sitting in the same chair. Imagine this interview along with Mariska Hargitay?

My Dad lost his father and brother in a plane crash when he was 12 and his mom remarried into a blended family of 8 (family of 4 kids to 8 kids) he lives the hardest of anyone I've ever met. Through great loss and trauma there is a gift of fearlessness.

I Love Molly and Drew tremendously 😍😍😍 I was Drew's limo driver in San Antonio in the late 90's ABSOLUTELY THE SWEETEST KINDEST PERSON EVER! 🤗

Much respect for Molly. I've been a fan of her's since I was a child. She reminds me of the favorite cool aunt. It makes me so sad she had to go through this trauma.

Molly Shannon is a National Treasure. Her character, Mary Catherine Gallagher and the ⭐️Super Star ⭐️ movie are two of my all time favorites. My kids and I (my 5 children and 3 neighborhood children- who were at our house even when my kids weren’t) did a pose from that movie for our Christmas cards. As Drew said, sayings from that movie are said around my home, and the homes of my now independent adult children’s to this day! ❤️Love you❤️ Molly‼️

Get the audiobook, as well as the book. Molly reads the audiobook. ❤❤❤❤

I finished reading this book early this morning after hearing Molly's interview with Andy Cohen. This book was very well written and touching to me. Easy to read. Interesting and surprising. Hello Molly! Thank you! Thank you Drew!!

Best book i have read in years. What an amazing human being.

I never knew this about Molly.

Love her!❤️ Had no idea what had happened to her at such a young age💔 Had no idea she wrote a book. Will most definitely have it on my bucket list to read.

Omg I’ve always loved molly Shannon. Need more of her in movies.

Molly has had to tell this story so so many times now :( On every talk show, podcast, radio appearance, while promoting her new book. Such an incredible artist, that's both hilarious and smart. Heart hurts for them.

i'm looking forward to reading her book ! love her so much. In Will&Grace, Year of the Dog, Enlightened ,Wild Nights with Emily, and Other People 💖

My aunt Chris worked with her sister Mary.her sister was always nice.but my aunt never met molly.i saw molly at Barnes and noble when she did the children’s book.she was so nice and funny she signed my dvd and book.she was so nice to do superstar. Molly is a superstar !

Both of you ladies look so beautiful, mature, natural, and just gorgeous. Love both of your looks! ❤️❤️

i have a 7 year old cousin (my mom's 1st cousin's daughter) who lost both her parents all within a few months, from 2021 to 2022. first it was my aunt's partner who died from Covid then my aunt who succumbed to cancer after battling it for about 4 years. i feel so sad for that little girl, i cant even imagine her pain right now, an orphan at just 7.

A brilliant address and comedian, Molly Shannon is! She's so much joyful and sweet and vulnerable in person doing interviews, but when she's working she knows how to flip that switch and show her dry sense of humor and her spooky, dark, deranged facial expression just to play for laughs. My God she's good.

Love Molly Shannon she is so funny

I hope this can remind people that comedians/people who try to find humor in situations that may even come off as childish, have their own pain they’ve gone through. I never knew any of this about Molly! I cannot imagine losing a handful of family members that way

💧💧💧 I never want to complain after watching this. Very sad story, but an amazing will to move on and succeed.

Her voice literally radiates such kindness ❤️

Molly is my favorite comedian, hands down.

LOVE them both! Molly Shannon ! WOW! Always so committed! My heroine!

Never knew this. Why does horrible tragedy make the best comedians? She's a legend!!

Fuller discussion of the car crash and its impact on Shannon's life is found in the recent Howard Stern interview with her, available on YTube. Worth the search.

One of my all time favourite actresses! I love Molly Shannon!!!!!

Love Molly! ❤️

I love Molly Shannon‘s characters! I miss them too. And she is so funny and original. I knew this about her family losses and I can relate to that too, based upon my own experiences. She’s great. I’d love to see more of her.

There's some element of talking with someone who's going through grief vs. someone who has not. No hate but it's just different. I didn't know this about Molly but hearing it in a sad, strange way helps. Much love to anyone going through it.

She's great in the audiobook. ♥️

Molly Shannon, a national treasure. Exceptional wit, intelligence, compassion and a titanium will. Her father did an excellent job raising her.

You laugh and smile through the pain .

Tears to my eyes bless her soul ..I grew up on Superstar! Was my favorite movie

I lost someone special too and I plan to write a book about it.

Just got done listening to her read her book. Great... I do the superstar thing....

And her character on Grace , fabulous!

Molly Shannon is so lovely - I want to be friends with her.

Great interview!!

I think drew is a much better interviewer than Kelly Clarkson. Kelly gets a little too excitable and doesn’t let people answer the questions so it makes for uncomfortable viewing. But she has the singing thing which is fun and different. I hope Drew’s show lasts and she starts to draw bigger stars

Molly is so talented and lovely and a seemingly genuine person. She always made me laugh and I love her acting as well. More Molly Shannon Please❤️‼️

Such a tragic story, I'm the age of Molly's baby sister, and my siblings are her and her older sister's ages. Couldn't imagine losing half my family all at once.

Love these 2 ladies. So kind and hilarious. They need to do a never been kissed sequel!

Super Amazing Woman, Molly 💯

Awww so sad…Molly is such a doll. So funny and I hope she makes more movies.

Wow, that explained her personality.

So much new found respect fo this amazing lady, I loved her before I knew and now...wow...what an inspiration. I am strugling with something foor three years almost, Im going to use this as fuel. Thank you.

So sorry for your losses. ❤️💙🙏🙏

Whoa! I never knew that Molly lost her mom and younger sister at a young age! I’m one of three girls as well, and I don’t think I could ever imagine losing one of them so early in life! And not mention one of them is also named Mollie, just with a different spelling of course!

Molly Shannon was also in Serendipity. It’s sad 😢 that she lost her mom, baby sister and cousin like 👍 that. That tragedy 🎭 definitely shaped her.
