Leslie Jones Slayed Her First Day at the Rio Olympics
Leslie Jones arrived in Rio and immediately got to work.

She may not be officially starting for several hours, but comedian Leslie Jones is ready for Rio. After providing some headline-making Twitter commentary on this year’s Olympic games, the Ghostbusters star was invited to participate as an NBC Commentator. And after accepting the job, she’s finally in town.
Jones spent most of her day getting used to the Olympic village and meeting adoring fans – which, at the games, includes a huge mix of normal folks, athletes, and celebrities. Jones’s personal Team USA motto is “Slay All Day’” and slay she did, jumping right into the fray. Jones is so popular that she was given her own Snapchat sticker.

Worried about catching Zika in Rio? Don’t worry. Jones checked the place out for you to make sure it’s safe, so take her word for it.
