Leslie really does leave every room better than she found it. She's such a natural light and absolutely hilarious. I loved this touching moment with the high school newspaper.

[@user-ju1os7kz3q]

Well said! 🥂

[@tammyfazio3900]

I LOVE Leslie Jones!!❤❤❤ Awesome!!!

[@davidd.747]

The energy she exudes is incredible and beyond words. Leslie is one of my favorite casts among SNL members. She’s outstanding and impressively unique every time she’s on screen. Can’t argue with that

[@heatherjordan8038]

Love Leslie!!! She's so authentic and wears her heart on her sleeve.... totally had me crying with her!

[@annalissac]

I used to think that Leslie Jones needed to be protected at all costs, especially when she was internet-bullied years ago because of Ghostbusters. But after listening to her audiobook, I realized I was wrong. She is a kick-ass warrior who can take care of herself thank you very much. Such an inspiration!

[@IndomitableT]

Being a kick-ass warrior or not, she still deserves to be protected at all costs, right?!🪻

[@peachesandpoets]

Her confidence is contagious! I'm going to tell myself all the things I'm fantastic at and be my own cheerleader. I love it! And yes, I also wanted to fight everyone that bullied her at that time. It was so mean

[@eddeewow6990]

this episode deserves another Emmy..they're both hilarious together😂😂

[@uniquebfly]

This was such a beautiful moment! Kelly is so good at this! And Leslie’s heart is the epitome of infectious.

[@cliffordbunton8788]

I'm sitting here wiping tears from my face too, Leslie. You're not alone. Kelly is such a genuine person; it's why we love her so much...

[@FelipeAlmeida]

Leslie and Kelly together are amazing

[@peachesandpoets]

Right?? I hope they do bits on the show together like a cooking segment!

[@cindybello1915]

Leslie is the best!!!!! ❤❤❤

[@charleslewis6815]

We love Leslie Jones and her honesty..

[@louisehicks3285]

Leslie looks better than ever !!!

[@Dbeckdesign68]

Leslie is so awesome!! I love her confidence and she’s so right, we hurt ourselves all the time and it’s so bad. We wouldn’t treat a friend that way. Love her so much!!!

[@MadAboutBrows]

I want Leslie to get The Daily Show so bad 😭

[@peachesandpoets]

I really like the rotation because it gives so many people a spotlight but she needs a recurring segment. Like when she did the thing when she went around new york asking people to say nice things about terrible people lol.

[@justinm.1]

@2:05 not the first time I heard Kelly say "Heyyyy" that way 😆 (if anyone's wondering, search up her interview with Terrell) @5:04 I love how Leslie didn't hesitate to say that 😂

[@lavenberry]

I just added Leslie's book to my book list. I can't wait to buy it. I agree that Leslie leaves a room better than she found it.

[@sineadmchugh4234]

I love these women, loved this conversation and love the love Leslie is getting. So much love. lol

[@michelleusa384]

[@Ernie1978]

I love Leslie! Great interview! 😂

[@teresan2688]

"It's not about being conceited, it's about being convinced." Listen. You are your first fan. Love this love this love this.

[@Rockindobbs]

She’s probably so raw from writing her book & this kind of shown her that she hasnt lost that wide eyed innocent girl. Very touching!

[@lampkinmedia]

I love love love this woman. I'm crying OK. This was a good segment. I appreciate the emotional moment cause its like that when it comes from the heart. Leslie gives you everything and the kitchen sink. What a talent. She is gifted and yes confident. Keep shinnin girl. I see you and I'm feelin you. Hope one day soon I get to meet you in person cause we would be cuttin up for sure girl. Can't wait to see you on the Daily Show. They need to stop playin and just give u the job over there. Give her the damn job already.......

[@37vivian]

I love this interview. ❤

[@b-meaker99]

OMG this turned into like the greatest interview ever. I'm kind of surprised they didn't just break down sobbing in each other's arms

[@sxt4447]

I’m just here to comment on Leslie’s FASHUN 💅🏾💖

[@erindarnell]

Brendan from Wendy!! ❤️❤️

[@badassbenny1010]

Ms. Kelly, Crew and Ms. Leslie, i agree, balance of laughter is out of sync. What I do know, there are others out there who use laughter and humor to avoid feelings and doing the important inner self work. Writing a book is a big deal. And it seems many celebretities have writen their books in the last 3 years. Barabara Streisland, wrote one too and has been around for ever. I have seen Ms. Leslie on instagram channel talking about hate/politics and how black people are being mistreated. I know Ms. Leslie, had a hard time with some of the general public. I find her hightly intelligent, sensitive, passionate about topics, and a funny woman. How cool, she is a writer! And at times, wrote for SNL. Sweet!

[@tahoemike5828]

Ok, NOW I really miss Game Of Thrones, with Leslie Jones.

[@KarisPigNose]

She looks beautiful !
