From the Feb. 5 edition of Las Vegas Weekly, comes this description of Grandma Lee on the occasion of her appearance at that city’s Bonkerz Comedy Club:
Grandma Lee is a sassy senior citizen who isn’t ready for the retirement home just yet. She will entertain the crowd with her hilarious and unorthodox views on family, television and life in general. She’ll be taking the stage along with Lisa Corrao.
Well, it looks like Lee will be heading back to Vegas, as she has just charmed the socks off of Piers, Sharon and The Hoff on America’s Got Talent.
We were wondering which, if any, comedians made it onto this season’s AGT, but we’ve been too busy to catch any episodes.
America has always had a “sassy senior citizen” or two making the talk show rounds. Way back when, it was Cliff Arquette’s “Charlie Weaver” and Moms Mabley who filled the role.
(Where have our sassy seniors been lately? Oh, yeah… the kids don’t like ’em. Jokes about growing old don’t test well with the younger demographic.)
Best of luck to Lee. Perhaps she’ll get her own showroom built for her like Terry Fator!
