Leslie Jones Just Offered Some Hilarious Thoughts On That Accidentally NSFW New MLK Statue

The 'SNL' alum said the statue looked like Boston was celebrating being 'eaten out.'

The Daily Show is back.

Tuesday night marked the show's return after former host Trevor Noah's departure on December 8.


Saturday Night Live alum Leslie Jones was the first guest host in a series planned by the show, and, well, she did not hold back.

Jones opened with an honest take on a new Martin Luther King, Jr. monument in Boston.

The $10 million sculpture—with a focus on wrapped arms—was designed to commemorate the iconic embrace between MLK and his wife Coretta Scott King after he learned he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

Below is a video of the unveiling in Boston Commons.

As Jones displayed a photo of the statue, she stoically asked the audience:

"Has anyone in here ever been eaten out?"

Once the audience got over the initial shock, Jones continued:

"Because they are celebrating you right now in Boston!"
"Listen, I know Dr. King went down in history, but this is not how you show it!"

As the camera cut back to Jones, she let "White people" know they should sit out this debate.

"White people: You don't need to be saying sh*t about this statue. You understand?"
"You need to sit your *ss in the back of the bus for this one. You need to honor the statue."
"This is a civil rights icon... going down on his wife."
"You show some d*mn respect."

Jones even brought in Seneca Scott—cousin of Scott King—to weigh in and she felt the statue "looked like a penis."

Jones asked desperately:

"OK, Black people, what the f**k we gonna do?"
"We got to talk about this because you know it's messed up when Black people and the Proud Boys hate the same statue."

She concluded:

"I can't unsee it!"

You can watch the segment below.

WARNING: NSFW language

Viewers of the segment did not disagree with Jones.






Though Jones was only the first guest host, Twitter wants to see more, many rooting for her to stay on permanently.




Several guest hosts, including Chelsea Handler and Roy Wood, Jr., will temporarily join The Daily Show in the coming weeks.

We, however, believe this Jones bit will go down as one of the best.

Iranian state media and health officials said the strike occurred early Saturday morning in Minab, in the country’s southern Hormozgan Province. Journalists from international news organizations have not been granted access to independently verify the reported death toll or the circumstances surrounding the strike.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.

But now with the rise of AI-generated photographs, advertisements, and other digital products, the lines seem to have become muddied between the illegal stealing of someone's likeness and AI "inspiration."

TikToker Secretly Records Unhinged Spectrum Employee Screaming At Her For Trying To Cancel Her Service

Employees in commission-based positions are feeling increasingly pressured to acquire new clients, retain previous clients, and solve the issues their clients call in about with high satisfaction ratings.

Even though tensions are high, and the pressure they're feeling may be unrealistic for any one person to take, that doesn't give them the right to mistreat people who do not want to sign up or want to cancel.
