Comedian Leslie Jones shares jokes, talks ABC's revival of 'Supermarket Sweep'
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Bringing the firepower as only someone of her comedic stature could, actress Leslie Jones has been a near-lifelong fan of the classic game show, "Supermarket Sweep".
"I can't understand how I'm not on the show. This is like the easiest show I've seen, like, easier than the 'Price is Right,'" said Jones, whose career took a meteoric trajectory immediately after her debut on 'Saturday Night Live' in 2013.
Jones' electric personality and performances turned her into an instant cultural sensation, taking roles in Judd Apatow's 'Trainwreck' and the 'Ghostbusters' reboot soon after. But now, Jones is putting her energy into a different revival as executive producer and host of the 60's game show sensation, premiering on ABC7, this Sunday night at 8 p.m.
