Emmy-nominated actress Tracee Ellis Ross called out late-night TV’s major blind spot—and called out Jay Leno by name.
Ross appeared on What Now? with Trevor Noah, where she reflected on feeling ostracized by the industry during her sitcom Girlfriends’ eight-year run from 2000 to 2008. The long-running series was overlooked by major awards bodies, save for a Cinematography Emmy nod for its third season—and Ross said the stars were never offered talk show appearances.
“No Tonight Show, no David Letterman, no Emmys. Had never been to the Emmys,” she recalled.
