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. She currently hosts HGTV’s new series Roast My Rental, where she hilariously roasts America’s worst vacation rentals before teaming up with designer Jasmine Roth to transform them into dream- worthy getaways.
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.
