“You know what’s so crazy? I’m famous,” the comedian Leslie Jones says on her new comedy special “Life Part 2.” Though she’s been doing stand-up for over 30 years, Jones didn’t break out until she was 47 when she joined the cast of “Saturday Night Live,” shortly after she was hired as a writer. She contends that she wasn’t ready for fame or success when she was younger. https://nyti.ms/4htwcrK | The New York Times
