SNL’s Leslie Jones As Black Annie

Each week Leslie Jones reminds audiences why Saturday Night Live executive producer Lorne Michaels could not keep her in the writers’ room and had to make her part of the featured cast. She can even play a red-headed orphan.

Leslie powered her way through one of the Saturday Night Live’s opening sketches as Black Annie, the street tough, 43 year old former veteran, WNBA star and orphan looking for a new life with Jamie Foxx as Daddy Warbucks. She’s got “big ass hands” and can palm a pumpkin. It’s a story that will warm your heart.

SNL host Cameron Diaz parodied her own role of Miss Hannigan in the upcoming film musical remake release of “Annie”. The sketch featured White Annie as well played by Vanessa Bayer who Black Annie was willing to “punch right now”. After all, this is about Black Annie, not those other “orphan bitches”.
