I was so very sad to learn, today, of Jeanne's passing. She was so loved and so cherished by her fans, and she will be sorely missed. I had to listen to my favorite Jeanne Robertson story, The Great Marmot Standoff, so I would laugh rather than cry. Rest in Peace, Jeanne.

How have I gone through 51 years of life without ever hearing of this woman! If she did comedy clubs she'd be more famous than Joan Rivers or Richard Pryor. Thank you random YouTube suggestions! I've been watching her video's for hours now and my stomach is killing me from laughing!

I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of Jeanne. How I LOVE her storytelling. She will be so dearly missed. Beaver, I am so terribly sorry!

Jeanne Robertson is one of the funniest people that God ever created. And she can have you in hysterics without using any inappropriate language or without hurting another person! God has given her a beautiful talent and she uses it well! Thanks Miss Jeanne you are appreciated and loved. You're a national treasure! Stay safe. 🌈🌈🌈

I only discovered this jewel of a lady. I say that with the utmost respect and admiration. I have yet to tire of hearing her. I truly mourn the loss of this delightful lady. I volunteer at an adult day care I plan to get some of these DVDS to take and play them for these people . Thank you Father for Jeanne Robertson

My niece Autumn told me about Jeanne, she said that she reminds her of my late mother, her Grandma. I'll pull her up on my phone when I need a good laugh. Thank you Jeanne for making us laugh and inspiring us to find the humor in our everyday life. God bless you!

I.Am.Dead! This is the most hilarious woman I have ever seen! God bless Jeanne Robertson. She is truly a model of fun, clean jokes. She doesn't need to be a potty mouth, to make you laugh.

[darlenesmack]

I love Jeanne and miss her humor. I listen to her stories over and over. I'm sure she is making God laugh right now. ❤

Oh my goodness! You are so great! Your story so reminded me of a situation I found myself in some 25 years ago. I was working with the Royal Air Force in Norfolk, England as a temporary military student, and at the end of one hot summers day, I drove out to the beach to cool off before going back to my digs for dinner. On the way, I stopped into a little holiday shop for an ice there she was! A stuffed, blue-eyed, life sized, white fluffy Persian was too expensive but I had to have her. In my mind I called her Portia and I left the shop with Portia under my arm, licking my ice cream, happy as Larry. I opened my car door and put Portia on a comfy cushion on the front seat, locked the car up and went for my walk on the beach as planned.

When I eventually came back, shoes swinging in hand, I saw lots of people standing around my car, and most of them were very angry. One older lady had a pointed stiletto shoe in her hand and was trying to break the glass of my windscreen with the heel. She’d borrowed the shoe from some other irate lady. Before I stepped forward I had ascertained that they were all incredibly angry that someone had left a live animal in a car without any water or indeed a window open for air, as it was so hot! I laughed to my self and thought that they too would find it funny when I after several attempts no one listened to me! They shouted and gossiped enough to raise the dead, so in the end I grabbed the shoe out of the older woman’s hand and told her I’d prosecute her if she damaged my she threatened me with prosecution for cruelty to animals! I pushed everyone aside, unlocked the at that point the police turned up in their car. ‘Now madam, what’s been going on here?’ He asked Well, I didn’t know! But the older woman butted in and told her story of passing by my car and noticing this poor cat sitting in such heat, and she couldn’t get into the vehicle to release it from its purgatory! So as she was ranting and raving for help, she was offered a shoe and was in the process of releasing the poor thing, plus lots of chat about how cruel I was, and how stressed the poor cat was because it wasn’t moving a muscle and it’s eyes were glazed! The policeman was joined by his policewoman partner, who I think had twigged what the situation was by then, and she asked me to open the car and check the cat. I said for the umpteenth NOT a cat, it’s a cuddly toy!! I opened the car door and pulled the cat out by its tail and waved it upside down to prove my police collapsed into laughter, most of the busybodies melted away as quickly as they’d the older lady took at least 15 minutes to accept that she was wrong! She was a broken woman who’d had her rescue moment taken away from her. I’d have felt sorry for her if she wasn’t so damn rude! Needless to say, for the next 8 weeks I was at the RAF station, I didn’t go back down there again. I’ve still got Portia, by the way, and she’s sat on my bedroom chair ever since she came home with me. Funny how life’s little jokes stay with you, isn’t it?

One of the things I especially listen for in stand up comedy is voice inflections. The way Jeanne says: "...get on an elevator!" really cracks me up every time!

[ruthwalsdorf]

When I need a laugh i put Jeannie on, she never lets me down. Always gives me a good laugh

[lisamalone]

I could watch her forever and not get sick of her!!!! As someone who can't tell a story to save her life, I love Jeanne!!

[MsBAP]

I love to watch you whenever I feel down. I wish you had been a speaker at the annual meeting of IAAP back when I was an executive assistant. Your humor is so funny. Thank you for so many good years of you making me laugh.

[wendyroman]
