Jones is like most of us in that she loves watching the Olympics and cheering for the USA. Since she also happens to be famous, her various social media posts about it quickly became viral. Lucky for her, she happens to work for the same network broadcasting the Olympics. This tweet conversation between her and Jim Bell, NBC Olympics executive producer, ensued and she ended up in Rio.
If you don't get a chance to stay up for the late night Olympic show hosted by Ryan Seacrest, you might have missed this segment with Jones. I came across it just the other day while going through some recordings on the DVR.
It shows Jones meeting several notable Olympians and attending many events. I died laughing during so much of this. I think she reacts the same way I would meeting a bunch of these people. The difference is that she's also a famous comedian, she doesn't scare people as much as I would. I'd be that "psycho girl," while she's a "famous fan." But if she needed a non-famous buddy to go around with her maybe I could fill that slot. I think I would for sure be just as excited, be just as in to the events and love chanting U-S-A!
The great thing is that you can also tell her enthusiasm is genuine. Her reaction to Biles winning the all-around gold is so heart felt. Even without the cameras directly on her or her recording on her phone, you can see her enjoying cheering for Team USA.
Watch the segment here for some laughs. It's wonderful!
