Jamie Foxx might be the most talented American at this time. He is the best. Leslie is damn cool, too. I just want to hang around them and feel the cool
ReplyOh, THAT’S why her comedy specials are so popular…oh wait..
ReplyI love how she was just talking with honesty and not trying to make the whole thing a ‘bit’. I actually really enjoyed the raw thoughts and insights.
ReplySona: 🧐
ReplyHere’s the best advice for her. Don’t do it. You’re not funny.
ReplyWhatever advice he gave her she didn’t take it
ReplyNow Conan is pretending this person is funny??? At least she knows she shouldn’t have been accepted to college…
Replyit would have been really funny if Jamie told her to quit
ReplyI always felt that Leslie was underutilized on SNL. And when she talked about having to find jokes that fit you, that’s exactly true. The writers apparently weren’t working with her to fit jokes and skits around Leslie. Its like she was there just because she was a black woman and they could check off a box. However, she is a strong black woman that shouldn’t be type casted. She is down to earth and relatable. That’s one of her charms.
ReplyNever really seen any videos of her before but damn she is funny.
ReplyI love how this really made it sound like a mini (yet not generic enough) blueprint for comedic success. And really this could apply to success beyond Comedy because I like how everything revolved around gaining life experience.
ReplyShe’s awesome!
ReplyJamie Foxx is a year younger than her, so how was his advice to get life experience? She’s older than him, how could he have more experience than her at that point?
ReplyWHAT a racist!! EVERY comedian she talks about is black. I’m a white guy and I agree Pryor and Foxx are fantastic but Murphy and Goldberg are mediocre.
