Thrones which Indie wire called as entertaining as Game of Thrones Jones has pretty much claimed the Iron Throne of live tweeting content while yelling at the screen and her experience watching Zack Snider's Justice League is definitely a mustsee comedy is a notoriously hard industry to break into because even if you're hilarious getting someone like Lauren Michaels to put you on Saturday Night Live or ink yourself a deal with HBO for a live special is hard like really hard so hard that it took Leslie Jones Certified Funny woman over decades to become famous how did we live without her all of those years interestingly Jones never knew she wanted to be a comedian until she went to Colorado State University to play basketball and get a degree it was there that she signed up for a comedy show on a whim and her life changed forever she told the University's paper all of my friends were there and I got up on stage and just killed it the stage felt like home from there she left school and hit the Comedy Club Circuit eventually Chris Rock got her an audition on SNL as she revealed in an interview with Howard Stern and she became a writer on the show in 2013 making appearances on Weekend Update in 2014 although she left the show in 2019 Jones has gone on to do Netflix specials starred in multiple movies and it's even a go-to personality when a game or award show needs a host or a commentator Leslie Jones is living her best professional life since leaving Saturday Night Live in 2019 when she was on SNL she likely was on the higher end of their pay tier when she left celebrity net worth reports that fifth season cast members make $315,000 a season but people who have been there the longest or are the most important to the show make $525,000 per year so Jones was definitely banking by the time she left being on SNL puts you in a different class of comedians as she put it to Colorado State magazine that doesn't just mean getting more gigs it gives you negotiating power when it comes to your payout for said gigs and Jones does all of them from starring and Ghostbusters to being an Allstate Insurance spokesperson and starring in Uber Eats commercials to being the host of the Supermarket Sweep reboot all of that hard work has paid off as celebrity net worth reports that she's worth 7 Mill ion Leslie Jones who moved to Beverly Hills California after quitting SNL bought a 3.9 million doll dollar home per dirt so she definitely has cash to spend the site reports that her home is$ 3,860 Square ft and Bose four bedrooms 4.5 bathrooms in a pool although she worked 25 years to get it Jones is doing it all with her Fame she told Essence that SNL open doors for her career saying I think I noticed that I wanted to do a lot of other things but I think maybe I had already put myself in the box of being a standup comedian it's like now I sing right in direct it's crazy
