Leslie Jones Twitter commentary makes everything better.

You likely have fond memories of the actor and comedian live-tweeting the 2016 Olympics, but if you missed those tweets all you really need to know is that they were so good that they secures Jones an invite to the actual games. She also memorably live-tweeted the 2018 Winter Olympics and shared her Game of Thrones commentary with followers. Basically, she's a pro at this.

Now, in the chaos-filled year of 2020, Jones has blessed us with another exciting Twitter show. This time she's live-tweeting MSNBC and sharing all her wittiest, extremely honest thoughts about the news, certain anchors, and the video backgrounds of people calling into the broadcasts.

Jones went on her latest MSNBC live-tweet spree while watching the news on Tuesday night, and though all 30+ tweets are great we've gathered seven standouts below.

1. "She's about to say some shit"

2. Brick-bashing Lex Luther

3. Leslie loves lamp

4. "You up in the SNOW, Steve"

5. Where is the lie?

6. Fireplace alert!!!

7. Background? Good. Hair? Bad.

As always, Jones' tweets are a real treat, and if you're in the mood for even more hilarious news commentary, have no fear. This certainly isn't the first time Jones has live-tweeted MSNBC, and if you scroll down her Twitter timeline you'll come across a series of other superb MSNBC tweets.

Shoutout to Leslie Jones for making the news significantly more enjoyable. We really needed it after the year we've had.
