Leslie Jones is leaving SNL. For those of you who are fans, this is a nice read. Has some of her funniest SNL skits on here too. Naked and Afraid with GOT's 'Tyrion'. Can't wait to see what else she does. I am a huge fan. NYTimes

She, more than any cast member I can remember appeared to be filling a quota.. Even she appeared to feel she was going to mess up, and never seemed to be even a ‘not quite ready for primetime player.’ Watching her actually took the fun from a skit ..as I’d be on edge wondering when she’d flub her lines. Nearly painful..
Hopefully she can find a less stressful line of work.
I can't help wishing she'd tone it down a notch or 5. For me her schick lacks subtlety.
Which is kinda her schtick.
@patchoullijulie which is probably the correct spelling of schtick.
@daylily I found Chris Farley hilarious. On the other hand most of Jim Carey's stuff is too far over the top for my tastes. I don't enjoy any of the male comedians who rely heavily on profanity.
With all due respect I will retain my claim to gender neutrality.
I need a subscription to read the article. Darn it.
Ohhh, I'm sorry. It's only $4 a month, FYI. That's the only reason I can afford it! lol
@Bierbasstard Good to know.
