On Jan. 14, Leslie Jones got her very own Netflix special, directed by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, formerly the directors of Game of Thrones, who used a total of nine cameras to capture Jones’ stand-up routine. The SNL alum proved her ability to successfully work a crowd and had the space to truly show off her emotional and comedic range.
Jones further explored the vivaciousness that comes with turning 52 in a new promo video for Time Machine, in which she playfully observes the age-specific tendencies of people in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
“Wake your ass up!” she jests while passing by a crew of slovenly, coffee-slurping 30-year-olds. “You look like you need a damn B12 shot.”
The promo features a cameo from Benioff and Weiss, who cluelessly look on as Jones feels herself in what she has no idea is actually a two-way mirror.
Check out the full promo video below, along with the original trailer for Time Machine, which is currently streaming on Netflix.
