SNL Star Recalls Margot Robbie's Daring Transformation for Sketch
7 Nov
Summary
- Leslie Jones discusses Margot Robbie's willingness to take on unflattering roles on SNL
- Robbie transformed into an "ugly" character for a sketch, despite other hosts refusing
- Jones praises Robbie's commitment to comedy over vanity

In a recent interview, comedian Leslie Jones discussed her time on Saturday Night Live, recalling instances where hosts or cast members would pass along sketches to the next episode because they didn't want to do them. However, Jones noted that some of the best hosts were those willing to try anything, and Margot Robbie was one such example.
Jones explained that Robbie, the star of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, had agreed to a sketch where she would transform into someone "really crazy" and "really ugly." While Jones couldn't recall the specific details of the sketch, she praised Robbie's commitment, saying the actress was "down for it all" and didn't shy away from the unflattering role.
The sketch in question was likely "The Librarian," where Robbie's character starts off looking glamorous but gradually becomes more disheveled, losing her hair and teeth, and even killing another character. Jones expressed her admiration for Robbie's willingness to embrace the bit, even when other "pretty girls" on the show had refused.
The episode featuring Robbie's daring performance aired in 2016, but despite her continued success in Hollywood, the actress has not returned to host SNL since. Jones hopes that will change, as she believes Robbie's bold and daring filmography makes her the perfect fit for the show's anything-goes spirit.
