Like many Americans, Leslie Jones has been glued to cable news awaiting election results as ballots continue to be counted in four key states that will decided the presidential election.
Throughout it all, the “Saturday Night Live” alum has been tweeting her hilarious take on what she’s been watching — particularly MSNBC “map guy” Steve Kornacki, whose keen observations on the electoral college and relentless vote tallying have garnered legions of fans throughout the Twitterverse.
Jones, in fact, was downright crushing on Kornacki.

The whole thing took on a new level of meta when MSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace told Kornacki, “I will confess what I do in the commercials, I watch Leslie Jones pine for you when our dear friend Ali Velshi fills in.”

Check out a sampling of Twitter reaction to the “Supermarket Sweep” host’s hilarious tweets:
I want a special tv channel that is just Leslie Jones watching MSNBC. This is like premium content, way better than HBO.

And I thought Leslie Jones' Olympic coverage was something. Her election coverage commentary not only makes this less stressful, but enjoyable and hilarious!
(Maybe somebody should tell her that Steve is gay tho)
Somebody get him on the phone for her!!! https://t.co/2UJQAX30al— mandy fleming (@lucindafortoday) November 7, 2020

Leslie Jones needs her own NBC show as a commentary to live newscasts! This is the best thing on the net. https://t.co/YEYqXruaWj

When this is all over I hope we can all agree that the best election analysis was @Lesdoggg opining that @SteveKornacki wears a reversible belt. https://t.co/ZjQQWf1xYT
