Leslie Jones Thought Kate McKinnon Was ‘Kate Middleton’ For A Really Long Time
Can Leslie Jones be on Ellen every day, thanks.
Today the cast of the new Ghostbusters took time out of their busy schedules of dodging internet hate, to stop by Ellen Degeneres’ pastel couch. Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones discussed how they knew each other, pretended to make out and were generally very charming.
One of the best things about the Ghostbusters press tour, is that it means we’re seeing more and more of Leslie Jones, who always manages to be the funniest person in the room no matter where she is. Case in point: Leslie was friends with Kate McKinnon for over a year before she realised that her name wasn’t Kate Middleton. “And I was like: ‘who is Middleton, then?’ And she was like: ‘It’s a princess, bitch’.”

Ellen also revealed that Leslie Jones used to be a Scientology telemarketer (“It was a very easy interview. I just acted crazy!”) and that Kate McKinnon previously worked as a baseball umpire, despite not knowing the rules. The last line went to Wiig: “I was an umpire for a Scientology baseball team”.
