My Take
Leslie Jones is one of the most fearless comic presences I know. Her Saturday Night Live run from 2014 to 2019 felt like a jolt of pure energy, and she brought that same boldness to the Ghostbusters reboot and Coming 2 America. What I admire most is that she broke through as an SNL cast member in her forties, which is almost unheard of and tells you how relentless her stand-up grind must have been. Born in Memphis in 1967 and a Colorado State alum, she later hosted Supermarket Sweep too. I always come away feeling she performs without a safety net, and that's rare.
