Finally, more Leslie Jones on our TVs! Since leaving Saturday Night Live in 2019, there’s been a major void left by Leslie.

But the hilarious comedian, 52, is bringing the laughs again as the host of the 72nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards nominations on July 28.

Before tuning in to see Leslie do her thing during the virtual ceremony, here’s what you should know about her: 1. She was one of Saturday Night Live‘s most beloved stars from 2014 to 2019. Leslie was hired as a writer for the sketch show in 2013, and first appeared on screen with a memorable Weekend Update appearance in 2014.

She became a full-time Not Ready For Primetime Player later that year. At 46, Leslie was, at the time, the oldest person to join the show as a cast member.

(Note to Leslie, for next time: “Ironside” was in a wheelchair, not “Perry Mason.”)The line between broadcast, cable and streaming was erased some time ago, so that’s a nonissue, but for all the talk in 2020 about diversity and change in the TV industry, there was little in the way of shockers in this year’s crop of nominees.
