Leslie Jones Talks Returning To ‘SNL’, Her March Madness Picks, & Her Love For Steve Kornacki
While Leslie could picture herself in combat for an action movie — or a hybrid action-comedy flick — her post-pandemic plans also include getting in front of a live crowd again. “I can’t wait to get back on stage and do some more standup,” she told HollywoodLife. “I have so many jokes and material and stuff that I need to get out there, and feelings, and everything else. I am also thinking about starting a podcast. I am ready. I am ready to get out there and rumble with the people.”
Leslie is even getting involved with March Madness. The Masterminds star teamed up with Uber Eats to give sports fans an even more enjoyable experience of cheering on their favorite teams throughout the NBA’s 2021 NCAA Tournament, which kicked off on March 18. This means BOGO deals on Uber Eats meals throughout the entirety of March Madness! Given this partnership, we of course had to ask Leslie who she thinks is going to win the spring tournament.
Leslie didn’t actually have a particular team in mind. “I think it is going to be wide open, because I think — didn’t Duke have to drop out because of COVID?,” she asked. After we confirmed that Duke is not in the March Madness bracket this year, Leslie said, “That is so funny because that was actually my pick and then when I heard I was like, ‘Damn’. Because you know what, Duke wins it all the time! Duke or North Carolina! And then you know, it is so funny I go to my old staple, that is Villanova. [Laughs] You know what, I am trying…”
We also couldn’t resist asking Leslie about her one true love, political correspondent Steve Kornacki. The journalist worked as MSNBC’s election analyst during the 2020 presidential election and the Georgia election in Jan. 2021, and Leslie made her “love” for Steve known on Twitter. But now that all these elections are over, Leslie made it clear that Steve’s not the only man she holds dear in her heart.

"Steve was at the board. I was like, 'Who is this guy? He's absolutely thorough and awesome. Who is he? He looks concerned, I need him in my life."#thereidout pic.twitter.com/58qt9U1Hyk

“Well…I mean. One true love is such a heavy statement,” Leslie said, laughing. She then clarified, “I have so many one true loves! I mean there is Kyle, there’s Colin. There is The Rock, there is Denzel Washington! There is Will Smith. I have so many one true loves!” With such an impressive list, Leslie teased that Steve “might be on the bottom tier” now.
