As we mentioned yesterday, actress Leslie Jones’ Twitter and Snapchat accounts make the whole Olympic experience better. While she’s not a commentator, her takes really speak to what we are all feeling about the Olympics.
NBC noticed, and executive producer Jim Bell offered to have her join the team in Rio.
Jones, who recently starred in Ghostbusters and is also a star of Saturday Night Live, was unsurprisingly excited by this.
Bell appears to be serious with this offer.
Saturday Night Live usually returns in late September, so she should have enough time to do some Olympics commentary before returning to the show.
