NBC on Tuesday announced that the Saturday Night Live star will assist the network in its coverage of the upcoming Olympic Winter Games, reporting and interviewing athletes in South Korea; she first got involved with the Peacock Network’s Olympics reporting back in 2016 when network executives caught wind of her obsessive tweets during the Rio Olympic Games.
