Ghostbusters and SNL star Leslie Jones took a brief hiatus from Twitter after being the target of racist and sexist remarks from trolls of the site. But now, the comedienne is back and better than ever, as she’s been live tweeting and recording herself reacting to some of the biggest moments of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with hilarious commentary.
She’s a huge supporter of the United States women’s gymnastics team…

She’s extremely proud of Serena and Venus, despite the sisters getting cut in round one of the doubles matches.

Leslie also put an Olympic-themed spin on a classic N.W.A track after the men’s team, lead by legend Michael Phelps, won the 400-meter freestyle relay.

Her enthusiasm has attracted a whole lot of attention, and according to reports, NBC’s Olympics’ executive producer Jim Bell caught wind of her tweets and invited her to come to Rio on behalf of NBC.
@shoemakermike OK @Lesdoggg you’re officially invited to Rio. Want to come?

Leslie responded with “hmmmm don’t play cause y’all need me! I would have the whole Olympics pumped!!”
All in all, if you haven’t started following Leslie Jones on Twitter already, please go to your nearest electronic device and click the “follow” button. Her name is @Lesdoggg. Let’s hope we get to see her getting the crowd pumped from the stands in Brazil!
So the question is….should I go? Hmmm
