It’s totally cool if you like, or even love, Leslie Jones.
What’s not cool is thinking that those of us who don’t love her, or think she is well suited to be the new host of The Daily Show have this opinion because we are racist.
Here is a list of black, female comedians–all who worked for The Daily Show, The Nightly Show, or The Opposition–and can deliver comedy without YELLING EVERY LINE OF DIALOGUE.
- Dulce Sloan - TDS
- Jessica Williams - TDS
- Franchesca Ramsey - TNS
- Robin Thede - TNS
- Holly Walker - TNS
- Niccole Thurman - TO
Just stop! Your opinion is grating. Sounds like Karenism to me. It’s not only racist but sexist too. Women can be loud and funny. I get it if it’s not your thing, but to continue complaining like what she is doing is so appalling says more about you. No one had a problem with her on SNL. She has her style. If you don’t like it then don’t watch.
Did you even read what i wrote? I am neither sexist nor racist. All of the other comedians I listed–who are black women–would do a fine job as host.
Except for the 99.995% of America who don’t watch it.
