ABC's Supermarket Sweep Revival: Grade the Premiere ABC this Sunday night revived  Supermarket Sweep , hosted by  SNL  vet Leslie Jones.

Of course, that debut came with some nerves. “I’m scared that I might throw up but I gotta hold it down because I’m the first black person to host  SNL  y’all,” the actress joked before she told audience members otherwise. “I’m not, but you believed it for a sec.” She went on to say how she’s coming to host the sketch series in a peculiar moment, given the COVID-19 and the upcoming presidential election. Rae recalled how  Insecure  premiered on HBO around of the 2016 election and the eventual victory of Donald Trump. “It felt really awkward for my life to be going so good. It was rude to be peakin
