SNL Drops Leslie Jones


Back in May Saturday Night Live's one and only Black female writer, Leslie Jones, caught holy hell after she performed an op-ed piece on standards of beauty now vs standards of beauty during slavery on SNL's Weekend Update [click here if you missed that].

Welp, Leslie, thanks for stopping by…

According to The Humor Mill Leslie Jones has not been asked back for the next season of Saturday Night Live and her name has already been scrubbed from the SNL website.

Leslie was hired comedian Kenan Thompson was quoted blaming Saturday Night Lives' lack of diversity on the lack of good Black female sketch comedy artists [click here if you missed that].

Earlier this week it was announced that Kenan had also opted not to return to Saturday Night Live next season.
