[Blind Gossip] We told you months ago that this actress was not going to be missed.
She was part of an ensemble cast of a popular show. She supposedly left the show voluntarily in order to seek out greener pastures.
Her cast mates were actually not sorry to see her go.
And those greener pastures have yet to materialize.
You will notice that the cast regularly does movie projects together. They usually manage to bring along as many cast mates as possible with them.
She was not one of those people.
Over the years, I think other cast members only gave her one real gig, which bombed, and a couple of brief walk ons. That’s it.
Did they not include her because they dislike her?
It’s more because they don’t think she is talented. Loud and obnoxious is not a substitute for talented or funny.
Also, she complains a lot. To her, everybody’s a racist, everybody’s a misogynist, everybody who doesn’t get her is stupid. That’s her excuse for not getting better roles. Ironically, her complaining keeps people from wanting to hiring her!
We did notice that her parting words about leaving that ensemble TV show included a few complaints.
Does this mean that the big movie career she left the show for is not going to materialize?
She has one movie coming out next year, but that was filming even before she left the show. I don’t know how many lines or scenes she has, but she is not one of the leads. I don’t even think it’s going to be released in theaters. I think it’s going to be streamed.
Well, there are a lot of even bigger projects that are going to be streamed next year (e.g. Matrix 4, In the Heights, and Godzilla vs. Kong), so that may not be the best indicator of the quality or popularity of the movie.
Oh, and don’t forget about Dune. That’s another tent pole that will be skipping the theaters.
Anyway, our actress did manage to score a TV gig.
It’s not an acting role, though.
And, no, she is not going to be the new host of Jeopardy!
Could you even imagine?
After shopping herself around, she landed a show that is more… downscale.
It’s got to be embarrassing for her that this is her big career move. It will give her a steady paycheck but it’s nothing original and nothing creative. Talk about a step down…
At least it’s a paycheck.

Leslie Jones. Those SNL types typically stick together. I guess she doesn’t play nice. She’s AWFUL hosting Supermarket Sweep.
Boston20 says
Leslie Jones! Supermarket sweep…not as good as the original btw
psychicdeath says
Leslie Jones
She is not remotely funny. Screaming incomprehensibly is her entire act. Also very quick to play the race card for any criticism.
Mia444 says
Leslie Jones. I just read about her new hosting gig, some shopping game show, and I felt embarrassed that’s all she could land. She was nuts to leave SNL (was it truly her choice? I’m doubtful). I do think she’s funny though, not simply loud and obnoxious, but not a lot of range. It’s a shame to hear she’s kind of an ass and nobody likes her. Oh, well.

Leslie Jones, SNL
Movie was Ghosbusters, TV show is that dopey Super Market game show. Agree that her schtick is more loud and obnoxious than clever or funny. SNL has become unwatchable, some taleneted cast members but writing is not fun or funny, hasn’t been for years now.
High Steppa says
Leslie Jones – I saw her hosting Supermarket Sweep. Quite the drop in status I’d say.

Leslie Jones (left SNL and is host of Supermarket Sweep).
Optional: I’m all for calling out things when you see it, but you also have to be smart about it. Constant complaining about ANYTHING will get on people’s nerves even if they agree with you.

Leslie Jones
She needs to realize her acting limits, she was not the best one on SNL
SilverLining says
Leslie Jones
She has a role in the upcoming 2021 film, Coming 2 America, & she is supposed to have started hosting Supermarket Sweep on Sundays, starting October 18, on ABC in the U.S. She also had a few guest appearances in 2020 as a judge on Rupaul’s Drag Race. So not too much work for 2020.
I liked her on SNL even if she often broke character & came off as loud as I thought she was trying her best. But if she’s unreasonably difficult to work with then there’s no excuse for that.

Leslie Jones. “Shopping”reference to her new game show. I think she’s hilarious and underrated. She just has to remember how mus ass she has to kiss in her field.
HotTeacher88 says
Leslie Jones’s Netflix comedy special was nominated for an Emmy. All of her dissing castmates can’t say that! Screw them.
njny123 says
Leslie Jones.
Leslie is 53. For her getting a steady gig with a schedule that’s not as completely insane as SNL is probably a huge win. SNL is typically full of young, single comedians who can live that crazy lifestyle. Many marriages don’t survive the show. I don’t blame her for wanting a break even if it’s not as “creative”
If the person is implying Ghostbusters was a huge bomb, I don’t think it was for her. She was the breakout from that movie.
Sounds like some sour grapes
SprinkleCakexo says
I’m guessing Leslie Jones. She left SNL and I believe she hosts the grocery games or something.

She seems extremely egotistical and fake. Im glad she got knocked down a few pegs. It needs to happen more often to these actors/actresses that think they’re above everyone else.

Aw, I’m sad about this. I like her and was wishing for her success. Also the grocery store show is so funny! So I’m bummer if this is her :/
MsGossip says
Leslie Jones
She was in the Ghostbusters remake and is currently hosting the new Supermarket Sweep.
ConfusedHarpy says
Leslie Jones. She was on SNL, her big movie which bombed (I didn’t think it was bad) was Ghostbusters, and her upcoming movie is the Coming to America sequel.
I’m not a fan but I don’t dislike her. She was a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race and was exuberantly charming. She also seems like a person who is always “on” and is loud and brash and shouting for attention which I would find quickly exhausting as I am happiest sprawled on my couch and not talking.

Leslie Jones–left SNL
Frantastic74 says
Amanda seals. Her hbo stand up was awesome but she complained about issa rae Emmy party n left the real. She was on the next comedian show but don’t know if its coming back or she will host. Burning bridges with her own race n sex won’t help. She’s cute funny but she hasn’t gotten big enuf to act like a diva.

CaintGetEnuff says
The funniest thing I’ve ever seen Leslie Jones in was an Allstate commercial. I can’t watch SNL anymore bc it’s just too political and not funny. It was funny until all the original “not ready for prime time players” left.
parkland45 says
Why did Leslie Jones leave SNL? I thought she was funny…have not seen her in anything else, though.
