One of the greatest things to come out of the 2018 Winter Olympics is Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir’s commentary. The fabulous duo and their bedazzled headphones have become the symbols of all that is good about sports. But what if they turned their hosting talents to videos of little kids falling down? Lauren Howard Hayes and Elizabeth Saydah dared to ask that very question, and the results are spectacular.
Woman Crush Wednesday: Jaimie Alexander
Who is cooler than Jaimie Alexander? No one, except maybe possibly an ice statue of Jaimie Alexander.
She plays a badass on Blindspot but she’s also a real life badass who started an all-women wrestling team, chooses her scripts based on how feminist they are, and kicks major butt as an athlete. That makes her a perfect Wednesday woman crush.

Us af, honestly.
The year was 2016. We were all kinda into the Rio Olympics. Trump hadn’t been shot into space yet. And no one was used to having chip cards.

We nominate this woman to narrate the 2016 documentary 40 years from now because she is perfection.
it took me until my mid-20s to realize “smiling while driving recklessly” was not the same as being sexually compelling & even now I forget

I want to respect Malia’s privacy but am worried there was no Cinnamon Toast Crunch at Lollapalooza. A girl’s first time should be special
— Drew (@MostlyPregnant) August 11, 2016
Everyone’s just mad because Malia’s cooler than they were in high school. Give the child some cereal.

Looks like you gotta go in to that furnace, bro.

Leslie Jones Just Made a Miracle Occur on Twitter ?
Hi, welcome to the feel-good story OF THE YEAR.
Remember a couple weeks ago when Leslie Jones was getting hassled by racist garbage monsters on Twitter? Well the unstoppable Leslie J didn’t give up on making funny 140-character jokes. She just kept slaying, and since the Olympics started she’s been live-tweeting them, and it’s the funniest thing on the internet. In fact, she tweeted so good that NBC said they’d bring her to Rio to be a commentator.
Watch her commentary, then cry sweet tears of joy and pride. USA! USA! USA!
