NEW YORK (AP) — NBC's first recipient of "Saturday Night Live" star Leslie Jones' burst of energy is late-night, or early-morning, host Ryan Seacrest.
Hurriedly brought to Rio de Janeiro after her fan-girl social media posts about the games became an Internet hit, Jones is bringing the same enthusiasm in person. She jumps up and down in excitement meeting Shaun White, bursts into tears seeing Simone Biles and trades Olympic pins with Kerri Walsh Jennings. She's excited to meet people who are probably just as thrilled to meet her.
Seacrest interviewed her early Sunday for his show, which begins every Olympic day at 12:30 a.
