Leslie Jones Biography

Leslie Jones is an American comedian, actress, and writer best known for her work on “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) and her roles in films like the “Ghostbusters” reboot.

Jones began her stand-up comedy career in the late 1980s but struggled to gain widespread recognition. Her big break came in 2014 when she joined “Saturday Night Live” as a writer and later as a featured performer. Her bold, energetic, and often politically charged humor made her a standout cast member. Jones became known for her hilarious commentary on the "Weekend Update" segment and her impersonations of famous figures like Oprah Winfrey.

Outside of SNL, Jones starred in the 2016 “Ghostbusters” reboot alongside Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and Kate McKinnon. Her performance earned praise, and she continued to make her mark in Hollywood, with appearances in films like “Coming 2 America” (2021) and voice work in animated features such as “The Angry Birds Movie 2.”

In addition to her acting and comedy work, Leslie Jones gained attention for her live-tweeting commentary during major events, particularly the 2016 Summer Olympics, which led NBC to hire her as a special correspondent. She has also hosted award shows, including the 2020 BET Awards.

Jones is known for her fearless and unapologetic comedic style, often tackling sensitive topics with sharp wit. She has been a vocal advocate for diversity in Hollywood and has used her platform to speak out against racism and sexism in the entertainment industry. Despite facing challenges early in her career, Leslie Jones has become a beloved figure in comedy and continues to break barriers with her work in film, television, and live performances.
