The live ceremony is scheduled for May 16. Jones, who’s currently hosting Supermarket Sweep, is nominated at this year’s show for Best Comedic Performance in her role in Coming 2 America. Jones is also known for her roles in Ghostbusters and Time Machine.

Last year, MTV moved the show to December, but the pandemic put the decision on hold and the network decided to air special MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time, which was hosted by Vanessa Hudgens.

Leading the nominations this year is Marvel’s Disney+ series WandaVision, which earned five nominations including Best Show and Best Performance in a Show Elizabeth Olsen), Best Hero (Teyonah Parris), Best Villain (Kathryn Hahn), and Best Fight (Wanda vs. Agatha).

Emily in Paris and The Boys received four nods each. Bridgerton, The Madalorian, and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan received three.

Jones posted a series of heart-warming tweets thanking producers, writers, and amazing crew of SNL, including show’s creator Lorne Michaels, who changed her life in so many ways.

“Thank you for being my mentor and confidant and for always having my back. You not only have my loyalty but you have my heart too! You have shown me skills I never imagined I had. I leave a better performer because of you,” wrote Leslie Jones.

The Ghostbusters star also took a moment to thank her incredible cast members, and said she’ll miss working, creating and laughing with them. Jones finished her tweet by thanking the fans who supported her during her SNL years and promised they’ll be excited after seeing some of the amazing projects and adventures she has in store.

Insiders close to the show claim that Jones decided to leave SNL before the end of her contract to focus on other business prospects. She currently has several exciting projects lined up, including an upcoming comedy special on Netflix.

Jones joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 2014, and her star has been on the rise ever since. She became one of the most popular current cast members and appeared in the Ghostbusters reboot alongside Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and fellow SNL star Kate McKinnon.

Unlike Jones, McKinnon is not ready to say goodbye to this show just yet. It’s been reported she renewed her contract with Saturday Night Live and agreed to return for her 8th season.

Our favorite Saturday Night Live star recently teased her special in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, and she was as excited about it as we are.

“I am actually a standup comic. It’s great to be the actress and the sketch and all this stuff, but I’m actually a standup, hardcore. That’s what paid the bills,” Jones joked.

The special will be filmed in Washington, D.C. on September 10th, and it should start streaming on Netflix sometime in 2020. The famous comedian chose this city because she believes it has one of the best comic crowds in the entire country.

This stand-up special isn’t the only thing keeping Leslie Jones busy right now. The Ghostbusters actress is currently promoting her latest animated movie The Angry Birds Movie 2, and she’s set to appear in Coming 2 America, alongside Eddie Murphy.
