As we all discovered this weekend, Leslie Jones is a master Olympics commentator.

In fact, she’s so great, NBC has invited her to the games to join their team for coverage in Rio.

Jones replied to make sure the offer was serious:

Bell assured her someone at the network would be in touch, and told the rest of us to hold tight. It’s unclear what, exactly, Jones’ role would be if she does go to Rio, but we’ve reached out to a representative for the comedian for more information.
