*Leslie Jones will be in Rio by Friday.
The “Saturday Night Live” and “Ghostbusters” star accepted an offer from NBC to join its Olympics coverage after producers caught wind of her enthusiastic and nonstop tweeting about the events.
Jones shared the good news with her followers on Monday with a “Guess Who’s Going to Rio” song.
