I imagine the rest of the cast and writers just breathed a sigh of relief
Every one of her appearances felt like she wrote herself into the sketch as the sassy black woman, and then dared someone to tell her that that character didn't really fit the scene

I don't loathe Leslie Jones like many on here do... but I have to ask why cast her in a project?
She isn't a master of improv like Amy Poehler. She isn't going to write her own material like Tina Fey. She doesn't have legit acting ability like Sarah Silverman. She isn't good at milking a scene for laughs like Kate McKinnon. And, thank God, people won't be interested in her seeing her get nekkid like Aubrey Plaza.
All she brings to the table is that she is a large African American woman. Ok. Well, if the role calls for one, I'll just get Queen Latifah who has superior comedic timing and can act.
I wish her the best of luck but I just can't see anything that would make me, as a producer, want to cast her in a role.

Would be hilarious if SNL replaced her with a bigger, blacker, less talented version of her
That person does not exist
