Life Part 2

Leslie Jones is grateful she did not find fame in her twenties. Standing on stage in her late fifties, she points out that back then, she was a “dumb hoe” who would have burned through Hollywood. Now, performing with a lot more wisdom (and a lot less cartilage), she delivers a set built on the realities of being a grown woman trying to survive a culture that refuses to grow up.

The performance was recorded at The Belasco in Los Angeles and premiered on Peacock in late 2025. It arrives after a busy stretch for the former Saturday Night Live standout, who spent the preceding years guest-hosting The Daily Show, releasing a memoir, and appearing in projects like Our Flag Means Death.

Away from the chaotic ensemble pieces that defined her television career, Jones uses the solo stage to focus on her personal life. She offers a weary, cynical look at modern romance, suggesting that dating apps consolidate into a single platform called “What’s Left”. Other segments find her talking about the challenges of physical therapy, her long list of supposed soulmates, and her plans for her own funeral. The material is personal, loud, and delivered with the physical presence she has brought to stages for decades.
