Leslie Jones asked accounting firm Ernst & Young to use its talents to protect something more sensitive than the [Emmys](http://time.com/4497201/emmys-2016-winners-list/ "undefined") winners during a bit at the awards show Sunday night.

“I really appreciate all the hard work that you do. But let’s be real: Y’all are protecting something that nobody is trying to steal. Don’t nobody want to know about boring Emmy secrets,” said the _Saturday Night Live_ star. “But since you’re good at keeping things safe, I’ve got a job for you: my Twitter account. Put that in the vault, please.”

The _Ghostbusters_ actress recently [returned](http://time.com/4418348/leslie-jones-twitter-return/ "undefined") to Twitter after [being hacked](http://time.com/4478982/leslie-jones-tweets-website-hack/ "undefined") and [suffering harassment](http://time.com/4418931/leslie-jones-twitter-harassment-seth-meyers/ "undefined") from [racist trolls](http://time.com/4412232/leslie-jones-ghostbusters-tweets/ "undefined") on the social media site.

“Y’all over here using your skills to protect best voiceover in a French sitcom. Meanwhile, I’m butt-naked on CNN. I just wanted to feel beautiful, y’all. Can a sister feel beautiful?” she asked the audience to cheers.
