Fortune opened for David Spade when my hubby and I went to Vegas back in July 2021 and she had everyone just rolling laughing. Very talented comedian. Hilarious and relatable. Fortune is what the world needs right now. We’re fans for life! 😻🙌🏼

[@kellyliles1458]

Fortunes first special, Sweet & Salty, is the funniest comedy special I’ve ever seen. Everyone should watch it. I’ve probably seen it 10 times.

[@WendyDahling3]

Totally agree. Hysterical!!!

[@zizinnnn]

i like her but you can use watching some others as well

[@julieharden2433]

It's so funny!

[@melissaseaman7263]

Agreed she's hysterical 😂❤️

[@rick90604whittier]

She's humble. From what I know of her, she appreciates what she has and the people around her. Truly genuine.

[@doubles7533]

She's so funny and genuine

[@ac7ionmannews]

no

[@christopherbedford9897]

If I was to judge a book by its cover, I'd be really put off just on her entrance. But I forced myself to watch the whole clip, and... pleasantly surprised. Southern Accents usually make me think OMG "MAGA supporter". Now here's the question though. She's promoting her tour - throughout the South, by the sound of the itinerary she reeled off. So: how many people who live in those cities are Kimmel fans, I wonder?

[@lisa6894]

I love fortune! Her positive energy makes my day!

[@user-ii3vn8tn3q]

Watching Fortune since Chelsea. Good to see her.

[@jobriguglio]

[@richsackett3423]

She was really good co-hosting Tom Papa’s podcast.

[@PrinceCharmingsMom2930]

Her Podcast is fabulous!!! She’s so funny and her mom is on often!

[@thatcanadianchick7589]

Back in the 70's... it was definitely a different time... I do recall on a couple times strangers using our bathroom, lol !!!

[@trishayamada807]

We’d have people ask to use our phone and my mother would let them. Sometimes give them coffee too and coffee cake. We always had coffee cake on hand.

[@metalmuumuu4181]

I loved Fortune on the Mindy show, she is hilarious.

[@MaryMakes]

I love the Fortune family story. It is a great name!

[@clistybuie397]

My town was so small (about 900 people) that my parents once told me that I was related to everyone who lived on this certain street and that I could, at any time, knock on the door and ask to use the bathroom. And I did. Still not sure who those people were..🤷🏼‍♀️

[@joanneweiss3864]

She's AMAZING in "Kenan"!!! Most naturally hilarious female comedian ever!!! Had to pause her Netflix special so many times snorting my drink 😂😂

[@marylynnacee4062]

[@erikaesplin696]

[@robertjackson6056]

[@retrospectors6595]

[@sterling8298]

[@jenniferr5562]

So proud of comedy from NC!!!

[@julieharden2433]

Fortune's Netflix stand-up special is hilarious. I'm looking forward to the next special.

[@lindaward3156]

Back in the day, I remember people stopping to ask to use our phone but now l wonder...they'd often use the bathroom because, as the only girl, that somehow landed on me to show the way, as mom got the coffee started. We also had a large blanket of low multi-colored phlox's blanketing the ground at the corner - ooh, two streets, that's probably where all the traffic came from, and they'd ask if they could dig a clump or three up. They had been growing for as long as the 100-year-old house had stood, so...more coffee and bathroom tours. I never quite considered how odd it kinda was but l can't blame it on Southern hospitality, this was in Massachusetts. ☮

[@sandrajohnson3386]

She is delightful

[@amycurtis4641]

Everyone loves Fortune!

[@susandamours6919]

Not only have I had people stop and use the phone, I have done it myself!!

I definitely remember people coming to our door asking to use our phone and me asking other families if I could use their phone.

[@gregoryjackson9523]

I love this woman.

[@donh7909]

Back in the '50s an '60s, if your home didn't have, at least 1 set of encyclopedias, something was off in your house.. I grew up having 2 or was it 3..! Any one else..!..?

[@ziggyustar3137]

[@pnknlvr96]

Pretty sure Jimmy didn't watch her Netflix special, since she's talking about her mom dating the conservative religious man and Jimmy says "Ooh!" like this is the first time he's hearing it.

[@laurajackson1303]

I was on a podcast 😂😂

[@koraldavis3474]

If they did a female version of Osmosis Jones, she should play the woman the cells would live in inside her body

[@gloriaroma-sandiegorealest4037]

I was 16 and out for a run and happen to run past a new acquaintance house, I asked to use their bathroom…. So that happened.

[@korribier-lo3nm]

[@dmiller5765]

My aim's not that great. Lol.

[@NewMessage]

I'm with her Mom on that.

[@Lulzswag]

I'm not going to lie. When I saw the thumbnail the first person that came to mind was Chris Farley.

[@vamanosninja4143]

Miss Fortune :D

[@athena1047]

Insecure silly comments. I seriously doubt if she cares what most of ya think.. thanks for laughs.

[@Christianna73]

❤

[@chandrasmith4722]

You should go to Matt Damon's house and ask to use his toilet and then use his phone

[@cjshouseofcomedyandfreesty5219]

The next great

[@DarlinReal]

The welcome hug is back in the midst of a pandemic. Is it? What bad precedence Jimmy.

[@kendallmorgan7493]

Thought "Chris Farley" first glance lol
