Leslie Jones explains why she doesn't miss SNL: 'I wasn't very free there'

According to Jones, she has been training for the latter gig ever since she tried out for the game show — where contestants race one another to rack up the highest value of items in their cart — years earlier."I trained my roommate, I made her watch the show, I made her run up and down grocery stores," she told Frazier."So when we got to the audition, we were destroying teams. And she turns around and looks at me and says, 'I have to go to work.' I was like...

And when she sees contestants that didn't prepare as much as she did, she told ET,"There were times when I was like, 'Stop. What are you doing? Why do you have those shoes on? What are you thinking?'"

It's a grind....everyone knows that

She's funny. Very talented. Miss her on SNL, but will find her on her new shows.

But she's free on a shopping game show?

So sad. When will people of color ever feel 100% free in this country?

I thought Leslie was excellent

It's our loss. She's so funny.

But I miss her. 😞 I'd like to see her in a scripted sitcom.

I know exactly what TF she means.

Well if you are free now then that’s good.

I’m happy for Leslie. SNL underused her talents. They put her in some pretty degrading characters snd skits. Look how long it took SNL to even hire a black women; they used to have black men portray black women. I hope that she is in a happy and healthy environment.

I hope she gets away from the loud and proud black woman stereotype.

She wasn’t good or funny on SNL

Or funny.

And grocery game show is liberating?

Imagine that, working at a job that is hard. Does she realize how tone deaf that comes across in a country where millions lost their jobs or businesses due to a pandemic? Poor Liberal Hollywood elite can’t handle a hard job.

Not getting how anyone can say she wasn’t that funny, is it because she’s not being grateful enough as a black woman? She wa hilarious on SNL and one of my favorites.

😂

That show made her.

The most horrible “comedienne “ out there IMO

Or funny

you weren’t very funny either

🙄

Hard pass Lesdoggg begratefulnotbitter

They reduced her to an angry black woman. She’s talented and is better off somewhere.

Wow....racist white guys being racist in the comments. How original

....if they remake young frankenstein

I always thought she was severely underused and under-appreciated.

She wasn't very funny either.

I banana 🍌

More free on Supermarket Sweep?

Who

Wasn’t very funny either.

People think I'm an overnight success. No. It's just that you all found me overnight. ---Leslie Jones

How about Ghostbusters? We’re you very free there?
