Blessing keep falling in Leslie Jones’ lap. Not only has she managed to maintain her spot on “Saturday Night Live,” while so many haven’t made it, and now BET just announced that Jones is just going to be hosting this year’s BET Awards.
According to a press release from BET, it’s Jones’ first major award show gig and she’ll follow in the footsteps Kevin Hart, Chris Rock, Chris Tucker and Mo’Nique. With the inclusion of Jada, who hosted alongside her husband Will, Jones will be the third woman to host the annual award show.
As for Jones herself, she said, “I am so excited to be hosting The BET Awards this year. BET was the first network and place where I was on TV – I am looking to turn this whole experience into a joyful homecoming.”
I remember Leslie from “Comic View” and I love a good full circle moment.
The 2017 “BET Awards” will air LIVE on Sunday, June 25 at 8 pm ET from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, CA on BET.
