Leslie Jones has built a cult fan following for her funny banter and genuine excitement surrounding the Olympic games. But it seems that time is coming to a close.

The Supermarket Sweep host and SNL cast member seems to be slamming NBC Sports for the way they’re handling her voluntary coverage of the games, deliberately suppressing her content while simultaneously attempting to replicate it with other personalities.

Jones has been live-Tweeting both the Summer and Winter Olympic games for her 1.4 million followers since the 2016 Rio Olympics, only gaining increased popularity with each new iteration.

Many fans have chimed in on Twitter saying that her off-the-cuff commentary is their favorite part of watching the competition.
