Leslie Jones is celebrating the actress who wasn't afraid to lose some teeth for the sake of comedy.
The former Saturday Night Live host recently revealed the identity of the host who took on a sketch that so many before her declined. In their defense, it involved losing teeth, pulling out hair, and appearing pretty damn hideous before millions of viewers. So which star was willing to embrace the horrors? None other than Margot Robbie.
"First of all Margot, I will always f---ing love you just because of how you came into SNL," Jones said during an appearance on Vulture's Good One podcast. "She came in there like a frickin' rock star. All the crazy things they wanted the pretty girls to do [that] they wouldn't do, she did every one of them."

The comedian continued, "There was this one sketch where she turned ugly or something — it's so funny. No one wanted to do that. When she did, I was like, I love her."
Jones struggled to remember the details of the sketch, but explained that Margot "starts off sexy," but by the end, she "pulls her teeth out — really crazy — and just ends up really ugly."
The SNL alum said that the entire cast was ecstatic when she agreed to do the sketch, adding, "It was so good. We were like, 'Oh my god, I love her.'"
The sketch in question, "The Librarian," saw Robbie turn the "sexy librarian" trope on its head. The bit began with season 42 cast member Bobby Moynihan crushing hard on his school librarian. After his friends spill his secret, Robbie's librarian starts to strip in a slow-mo fantasy sequence reminiscent of 1980s teen comedies and set to Yello's "Oh Yeah" from the Ferris Bueller's Day Off soundtrack.

But instead of making the boys' wildest fantasies come true, the striptease sees her transform into a nightmarish ghoul, pulling out clumps of her hair, taking off false teeth to reveal jagged, deformed fangs and at one point, eating the skin of a banana.

Robbie's transformation only gets worse from there. She reveals not one but two tattoos of child star Haley Joel Osment (in The Sixth Sense and in the present day) and then captures the attention of another woman in the library (Cecily Strong), who she leans in to kiss... and then swiftly murders, snapping her neck.
"Straight up murder?!" Kenan Thompson's character screamed in slo-mo horror.
The sketch concluded with the librarian licking Moynihan's face with a forked tongue and then unbuttoning her blouse — causing all of the boys' heads to explode. The October 2016 episode marked Robbie's first and only time hosting the show thus far and the stand-out sketch now has over 22 million views on YouTube.
