Leslie Jones returned from the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, and naturally she needed to report back her findings to Saturday Night Live. The result was delightful.
Watch Leslie Jones delightfully report back to SNL on the Winter Olympics
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Jones’ enthusiasm about the Olympics has become legendary ever since she began following in-depth during Rio 2016. That came to new levels this year when she flew out to South Korea to see things first-hand, where she fell in love with bobsledders’ thighs, and hockey in particular.
She even brought a friend on SNL, Hilary Knight — member of the U.S. Womens hockey team that brought home gold in the games.
Knight didn’t miss a beat after hearing Colin Jost offer to show Leslie some moves on the ice.
“Knight: So ... I heard you played hockey growing up and you’re going to show us some moves?
Jost: Well ... I mean ... Well, I played recreationally. I don’t think I could show you anything, you know.”
Knight and Jones then joined a refrain of Beyone’s “Run the World (Girls),” with Jost dejectedly helping out after being thoroughly shot down.
