why can't lorne just tell whoever it is to frick off? Or NBC, or whoever is getting heat from some shitty activist group.

What's the worst that could happen, people claim "NBC is racist!!" ok, so what? They can point to all the non-whites they've had on the show over the years which has been quite a lot.

She was funny in Ghost Chasers

I agree with this. But it wouldn't translate to a big screen thing for Ghostbusters.

Not even close.

The list of horrible cast members is almost endless and includes great actors like RDJ, Anthony Michael Hall, and Randy Quaid. She's pretty one-note on the show, but she's far from being the worst.

If Leslie wasn't respected by her peers, she wouldn't be on the show. She's almost 50, by far the oldest on the show. Her style doesn't suit me, but she's not the worst ever and she's certainly respected.

isn't chevy chase universally despised by everyone he works with?

Not saying she's as funny as he is, because that'd be stupid...just saying you don't necessarily need to be respected by everyone to have work in the industry.

I'm so glad I completely quit watching this terrible show a few years ago.

"ya know, leslie jones is REALLY funny. So talented and I really respect what she's doing"


was with a group of comics at the comedy store a few weeks back and this was exactly the tone of the conversation. They knew she wasn't great on the show 95% of the time, but that she's capable of being really funny. Universal agreement that her sketch w Chris Rock was the worst anyone could remember

The whole show is fricking terrible. Once or twice a year I'll be flipping through the channels and stop on SNL... I really don't see how people watch that shite.

She's awful, but no one quite pisses me off like Vanessa Bayer. At least I'm not subjected to Jones that often.

I've seen this said three times and I guess you all forgot about the other black girl who was hired way before Leslie.

Thank you . RDJ may be the worst of all time.

There is a list ranking all the cast members, by Rolling Stone and they have RDJ dead last.

Of course the have Colin and Norm in the bottom ten, so F them.

I only remember one of these six guys..



I forgot Mike O'Brien was cut already, he was funny because his face looked so funny. lol
