Why Leslie Jones Doesn’t Miss ‘SNL’ at All: ‘I Wasn’t Very Free There’

recent interview with Entertainment Tonight

, the comedian expressed gratitude toward NBC and her fellow cast members, while speaking out on the challenges of the job. “I don’t miss it at all,” she told ET. “I miss Kenan [Thompson] but I don’t miss [it]. That job was hard, man. That job was like two jobs and very restrictive too. I wasn’t very free there.”

After a breakout performance and five seasons on the show, Jones surprised “SNL” fans when she announced in 2019 that she wouldn’t be returning the next year. The comedian, who joined as a writer before being promoted to a full-time cast member, has since moved on to hosting a revamped version of ABC’s long-running game show, “Supermarket Sweep.”Jones shared that she has been training for her new role, ever since she tried out for the show as a contestant.

Launched on ABC in 1965, the game show reached new heights with the 1990 revival hosted by David Ruprecht. Ruprecht’s version of the show ran for five seasons until 1995 and for another three, from 2000 to 2003.

SupermarketSweep is the best !

She was miscast on SNL, she had no improv or acting background and stand-up is not enough for a show like that. She had good sketches, but she was wrong for the show and the show was wrong for her.

Give her some time. She’ll start complaining about how there aren’t enough jobs for African American women.

Not liked her ever since she moaned about not being in the next ghostbusters as if her version didn’t flop

Poor you

Is she even working now?

Poor girl actually has to work for a living to make money. Boo hoo. Go away. You were never funny. How you made it doing comedy is insane.

Could barely get the lines out

Classy when someone trashes the vehicle that brought her fame. Lesdoggg no thanks.

As miss you

Uh.....wasn’t very free? It gave you a career and from what I remember you were all over that show screaming at people. At the time, I guess that was considered funny.

Wait. She left SNL?

She also wasn't very funny there. She had a noticeable habbit mangling dialog lines resulting in jokes falling flat.

Why don’t I believe that?

well i do

She's hilarious and will succeed wherever she goes.
