Comedian Leslie Jones will be taking a temporary whirl as host of “The Daily Show” this week, and she says viewers can expect her trademark - some blunt, edgy humor.
“I'm not Jon Stewart. I'm not Trevor Noah, I'm Leslie Jones. So I'll be bringing that vulnerable honesty,” the “Saturday Night Live” alum joked in an interview on the eve of her new gig.
While this week marks the first time Jones has appeared on “The Daily Show,” she's no stranger to MC-ing, having guest-hosted “The Ellen Show” and taking charge of ABC's game show revival “Supermarket Sweep.” On “SNL,” three-time Emmy Award nominee Jones did impressions of Whoopi Goldberg, Serena Williams, Michelle Obama, Omarosa Manigault Newman and, most memorably, Donald Trump.
