Leslie Jones

Seasons 40-44

Leslie Jones joined SNL later in her career and brought a raw, loud, and unapologetically confident energy to the show. Primarily appearing on ‘Weekend Update’ as herself, her segments were less jokes and more charismatic, often screaming, tirades. While her enthusiasm was undeniable, the one-note delivery often felt more like a volume knob stuck on high than a crafted comedic performance. Her acting in sketches was often stiff, relying on the same forceful persona regardless of the character. Since leaving, she’s hosted game shows and appeared in films, continuing to bring the same high-decibel energy that she made her signature, for better or worse, at SNL.
