[@MentalStillness]

Luenell's the best. I'm happy to see all her hard work had paid off. Whether she's on Netflix or Jimmy Kimmel she's a comedy legend in my opinion.

[@javiruiz8365]

I found out about her because she was always at the Wendy show

[@ShawnGamesDrunk]

Luenell is a legend, it's always a treat to see her

[@sheilalofton2145]

I love the way Luenell brought the conversation back to her ! she so professional . I've seen her comedy show and even though she's a bad girl of comedy , she's very poised and lady like ❤

[@gigi1625]

Luenell's Netflix special is 🔥 33 minutes.. short, sweet, and straight to the laughs 💚🏆watched it several times.. she's sweet & silly here w/ Jimmy but she's a BEAST when she touches the 🎤 to actually perform IYKYK

[@CHICOIZPAIN]

Lmao when she was like “ Ah ah… ah… u wanna do it” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@GeronFletcher]

It’s like an amazing short album. Leaves you wanting more so you play it again

[@Loveismyteacher]

@@GeronFletcherfacts! I’ve watched it twice and it’s funnier every time!

[@GeronFletcher]

@@Loveismyteacher 😂😂😂

[@TolyTheTolerBear]

She was GREAT in the Borat movie…such an acting tour de force performance! That was Oscar and Golden Globe-worthy 👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇

[@WhistleblowingGoodWitch]

Oh my goodness I must see her in this thank you! ❤🎉

[@LCC536]

I have been a Luenell fan since ... " you don't gotta gun I've gotta gun if I knew this sh*t was gonna happen I woulda brought my M'Fn gun" 😊😊😂❤

[@fabteengh4615]

[@kevincole2796]

I really love her personality ❤

[@Daniel_B79]

Why specifically?

[@MisssKayy]

Because she’s a sweetheart.

[@ivanvanogre-nd1sw]

That happiness warms a person's heart.

[@SweetAngelBoy7777]

She exudes a lot of radiant and charismatic energy.

[@sierrabrooks981]

Loved Luenell since waking up with the TV on BET and comic view was on.

[@sonjablaziak6095]

Love the respect that Jimmy has shown her.❤

[@deethompson7582]

[@naseeb2b]

[@jhamptonjr]

I went to Oakland when I was 13 years old when I was out on a trip to California to see my dad. He used to take me to the Oakland A's games every week and this was the 7273 Oakland A's! I always have respect for Oakland! Peace!

[@arnold934]

I ♥️Luenell

[@reneeross3972]

So funny and authentic.I love seeing her getting so much success ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉pew pew pew

[@ExclusiveLM]

That is what our Jimmy Kimmel does. He helps comedians with talent to work at his club and attacks Trump nightly. If that isn't a form of Robin Hood, I don't know what is.

[@barcelonachair6487]

Jimmy is Gold.

[@matawhite2287]

"Why you fighting this looooove, Jimmy" 😆😆 Luenell is the best

[@whiskyjames4200]

She's cool and funny too!

[@justjoan4010]

Really happy for your blessings, Luenell. I love your story telling. Not surprised, Dave Chappell is awesome in his own right. Jimmy too. Giving them their props was beautiful. ❤ the Netflix special. ❤

[@Blizzing03]

LUENELL 👑

[@Its_Xtian_Bih]

Her Netflix special is hilarious im surprised she doesnt have more. Her comedy is raunchy so she was probably nervous to say anything wrong on here. She should have said she went to see Thunder Down Under and a magic show called Magic Mike

[@GrandmaBev64]

Love Luenell! ❤️ Her confidence and humor inspires people. I was hooked at Borat. Lol I'm from Vegas and Wayne is a gracious host who loves opening his place up to people. J

[@gusgus8134]

❤️❤️❤️Luenell !!!

[@rachelfinney1774]

I saw her here in Chicago and she was too funny😂😂

[@dimplesp4046]

Do yourself a favor and go and see her LIVE! She doesn’t miss

[@tonijones107]

Loveeee Luenell!!!❤❤❤ She's hilarious

[@zzizahacallar]

I love Luenell! I love how she gave Kat his credit for taking her on tour.

[@OhValComedian]

Great job Luenell 👏🏾

[@Darlene528]

Thank you jimmy for helping Luenell she’s been out here for years never stopping. Kudos Luenell🌸🌺

[@SheisSS]

I feel like jimmy is a Bieber type. He could go anywhere and vibe with anyone. I liked the energy.., they are very relaxed around each other!!

[@AnaAcuraErica]

Bieber!? If ur gonna compare him to a likable yte guy- just stick with Adam Sandler or Him Carrey cus many many people would not vibe with Bieber 😂 I nvr liked him after I heard him sing that n song with his friends! He’s been known to v very rude with his fans, I’ve seen the footage 👀 This comment came from nowhere lol

[@GetARproductions]

Queen of comedy

[@lchapo5469]

Luenell is a BOSS!! I love this woman 👠👠

[@martinhumble]

At last some James Bond related stuff. To seldom otherwise

[@sunnisarah]

isn't it unfortunate that our entertainers start at such a young age and aren't recognized until they've done 20-30 years of hard damned work, when they're SOO FUNNY out the gate??? dayum. good things come...i guess.

[@villagegirl3627]

Truly happy for Luenell. Support her as she supported us by starting in our indie movie some years ago. Hard working, professional and real. Remain in the light.

[@miterca]

Love her!!!

[@Ellew9837]

💚💚💚If you remember Luenell on Soulbeat you can’t help but smile. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@javiruiz8365]

What a ball of sunshine! ❤❤❤

[@nena9561]

Such a town legend!!!!! Bay areaaaaa

[@fv4594]

I love Luenelle! I hope she keeps achieving greater heights!!❤❤❤

[@TonyaJones0788]

This is Awesome, soooooooo happy for Luenell!🙌🏽🙌🏽🥳☀️

[@TK.kirkland]

"I put Luenell on she tried to put me in dolemite with eddie but he still mad i stole his watch back in the day💯"

[@faznout]

Why do I get the feeling that most of the people in the audience don't have a clue of who she is. Just very little reaction from the people gives me that feeling. But I also feel like with "certain" audiences she's very underrated.

[@lovelyday3979]

"It's not an auction block Jimmy, I can sit down if I want to" lol 😅

[@jalissamoses115]

Super proud of her! I love Lunell comedy ❤

[@jlnapoleon]

Luenell! You too Jimmy! Haha this makes me so happy
