Jane Jenkins Herlong

Jane Jenkins Herlong is proof that a sense of humor can take you places—like SiriusXM Comedy and other streaming platforms alongside the likes of Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano, and Jerry Seinfeld. As an international best-selling author, award-winning speaker, and humorist, Jane's wit is sharp, relatable, and memorable.

But Jane isn’t just a funny lady; she’s an accomplished storyteller. With five award-winning books to her name, Jane’s tales of Southern life and laughter resonate far and wide. Her latest gem, Sweet Tea Secrets from the Deep-Fried South, isn’t just a best-seller—it’s proudly featured in Cracker Barrel stores across the nation. And as a first-time novelist, Jane’s story has taken on a new life, being optioned for a six-episode film series.

When it comes to the stage, Jane holds her own alongside legends. She’s a Speaker Hall of Fame inductee, sharing the honor with figures like Ronald Reagan and the late General Colin L. Powell. A Certified Speaking Professional and a recent inductee into the Legends of Speaking, Jane knows how to captivate a crowd, combining wisdom, humor, and authenticity in every performance.

Jane’s journey has been anything but smooth. Labeled dyslexic early on, she faced a slew of “You can’t do that” moments. With a touch of Lowcountry charm, Jane teaches others how to turn setbacks into comebacks and every “NO” into a “NEXT,” one laugh at a time.

From the rows of her family’s South Carolina tomato farm to the runway of the Miss America Pageant and the grand stage of Radio City Music Hall, Jane’s story is one of grit, grace, and good humor.

Whether she’s sharing pearls of wisdom or humorous “Sweet Tea Secrets,” Jane Jenkins Herlong is a show you simply can’t miss.
