Don't have nothing good or bad to say about her. Haven't seen anything new from her. Don't watch SNL. Most I remember of her was from the movie Mo Money back in the day.
 
its interesting to note though, that regarding Ghostbusters, she was originally cast to be one of the scientists, with Melissa McCarthy being the loud obnoxious NYC subway worker (which fits closer to the role shes played before)

but somewhere along the line, some hollywood cac decided that they wanted Leslie as the loud uneducated dumbass of the group. why is that? hmm

To be fair, she plays that role too. I haven't seen her in much, but what little I've seen falls into that archetype. McCarthy has at least played Molly, which is a character that doesn't fit into that mold.

On topic, she's not funny in the least to me, but more power to her.

yall sure yall not in yall 70's yet?

She's not funny, bro. To be fair, there aren't many women that are to me. Sommore had her moments. As did Monique. Sarah Silverman from time to time. Bridesmaids will always be my shit and I put it up there with Wedding Crashers and The Hangover.

Wanda Sykes is another one that's heralded as some uber funny comedian, and the only time I laughed at her is when she was the skunk on Over The Hedge.

There are no women that have even come close to Pryor, Murphy, Rock, Chappelle, Foxx, Burr, Carlin, Hart, Mac, Cosby, Hughley, C.K, Mooney, etc., etc.

Women just aren't as funny to men. *shrugs* It is what it is.
 
She is by far one of the best current SNL cast members. Thats not a huge compliment, but shes almost all they got lol. Shes had some really funny stuff but other stuff is too crazy for me.

the guy who wrote and directed bridesmaids wrote and directed the ghostbusters movie
 
I saw one of her stand-up specials on cinemas a few years ago. I'll have to search YouTube for one of her old comic view performances to reach a final verdict
