Leslie Jones is officially joining NBC’s team at the Rio Olympics
Over the weekend, Saturday Night Live and Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones revealed that she’s a huge fan of the Olympics, overhauling her entire social media presence with outpourings of support for the athletes and admiration for their accomplishments. It was, in a word, delightful. So delightful, in fact, that the executive producer of NBC’s Olympic coverage caught wind of her tweets and invited her to join the NBC team in Rio. Of course, this being the internet, it’s tough to tell when people are telling the truth and when they’re just screwing around “for the lulz,” so we had no idea if the offer was really real.
