Leslie Jones has come clean about how Scientology helped her achieve her current level of fame and success.

“Yeah, they kinda still don’t know I’m not a Scientologist,” Jones said. “Thanks for blowing my cover, Ellen!”
She found out about the gig from an ad and it was smooth sailing from there, "It was a very easy interview. I just acted crazy."
Kate McKinnon also revealed that, as they were becoming friends, Jones mixed her up with the Duchess of Cambridge, telling her SNL coworker, "You alright, Kate Middleton."
