Comedian, actress, and New York Times bestselling author Leslie Jones is an NAACP Image Award winner and three-time Primetime Emmy nominee for her work as a cast member on Saturday Night Live.

In 2024, Leslie served as NBCUniversal’s breakout Paris Olympics commentator and “chief super fan,” earning a Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Special – Championship Event. Her latest stand-up special, Leslie Jones: Life Part 2, premiered on Peacock in October 2025 and became the platform’s biggest female stand-up launch and third-largest stand-up premiere overall. She is currently touring nationwide to sold-out theaters.

Leslie’s 2023 memoir, Leslie F*cking Jones, became a New York Times bestseller, and she was previously named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People. A longtime stand-up powerhouse, she was the first guest host of The Daily Show following Trevor Noah’s departure and has appeared in projects including Coming 2 America, Our Flag Means Death, BMF, and Ghostbusters. She has also performed at the Just for Laughs and Aspen Comedy Festivals and released her Showtime special, Problem Child.
