LOS ANGELES: Ghostbusters actress Leslie Jones almost quit Twitter last month after receiving online abuse, but the comedian had the last laugh on Aug 8 as her humorous Olympics tweets landed her an invite from NBC to cover the sporting event.
Comcast Corp-owned NBC Sports said Jones, a cast member on NBC's Saturday Night Live, will be in Rio de Janeiro by Aug 12 and will cover live Olympics sports, meet the athletes and "spread her passion for sports and the Olympics".
