How did Leslie Jones end up as the host of Supermarket Sweep?


I cannot figure out how ABC decided to choose her as the host of Supermarket Sweep when Leslie Jones is known for being annoying and loud but she is funny at times on other shows but Supermarket Sweep does not suit Leslie well. ABC should've picked Yvette Nicole Brown or even Octavia Spencer to host the show better than Leslie Jones

WAS PAULA POUNDSTONE BUSY?🤔

What an interesting name drop.

I think I was one of 4 viewers who watched "The Paula Poundstone Show" debut, before ABC mercifully axed it after 3 episodes.

I had to look her up before I posted to see if she made any headlines recently. She didn't.

I CONSIDER PAULA POUNDSTONE TO BE THE ARCHETYPE FOR JUST FUNNY ENOUGH TO GET FAMOUS,BUT NOT CONSISTANT ENOUGH TO BE THE LEAD OR MAINTAIN A VERY HEALTHY RESUME FEMALE COMEDIANS...ELLEN CLEGHORNE ALSO COMES TO MIND.

I just can't stand how Leslie and Steve Harvey get away with their jive-talkin' and poor grammar.

Black people wonder why there's a racial divide in this country? Speaking properly would help.

You never heard Obama say in his State of the Union, "We gots a lot to be proud of. Things ain't never been better, let's git to it. We don't got no reason not to!". That's how both Leslie and Steve talk, and nobody at the networks is bothered by that?

SIGH.
