“Saturday Night Live” alum Leslie Jones recently told “The Sam Sanders Show” that she found it “frustrating” that the writers at “SNL” would often typecast her as angry and aggressive.

“It was kind of frustrating that they would always make me the girl that was angry and beating up people or in love with a white boy,” Jones said. “They just always would make me angry or I’m fighting somebody.”
