AceShowbiz - Many Americans get into the spirit of Rio Olympics, but not as enthusiastic as Leslie Jones is. The comedian has been flooding her Twitter feed with hilarious photos and comments about the sports event to show her support for the U.S. team, and her tweets have gone viral.
"Yep I love the Olympics it's the only time all countries come together to compete! I love it!!" she wrote in one post along with a picture of her draped in the American flag. "Man I had to nap for a bit lol Geeeez I saw the synchronized diving pretty cool. But it's all about these gymnastics," she wrote in another tweet as she posted a video of the U.S. gymnastics team.

Her entertaining tweets eventually caught the attention of NBC Olympics executive producer Jim Bell and he has extended an offer to her to go to Rio and join in the network's coverage. "OK @Lesdoggg you're officially invited to Rio. Want to come?" Bell tweeted on early Sunday, August 7.
According to Deadline, details of Jones' trip to Rio are currently being worked on. But the "Saturday Night Live" member appears to be mulling over whether to accept the offer or not as she posted on late Sunday a cryptic tweet that read, "So the question is....should I go? Hmmm."
