Leslie Jones has the best Olympics tweets and now SHE’S IN RIO

Leslie Jones — Team USA’s No. 1 fan, comedian and Saturday Night Live performer — has made it to Rio to cheer on our favorite team at the Olympics!

Based on her Twitter timeline, Jones hadn’t left her television and laptop since the games started.

She was relentlessly tweeting her support to the team and has been posting videos of herself cheering on the country and celebrating each medal.

Jones’ tweets caught the attention of NBC, and she was officially invited to be one of the commentators of the games.

Now, Jones has finally made it to Brazil and has been tweeting her excitement to be there.

Jones’ excitement could not be curbed even while she was stuck at the airport. Here she is cheering beach volleyball players Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross:

Team USA is lucky as hell to have Jones cheering them on!
