Watch Hilary Knight's Amazing 'SNL' Cameo On Weekend Update With Leslie Jones

On Saturday, March 3, former NBA superstar and current sportscaster Charles Barkley hosted Saturday Night Live for the fourth time and even former baseball player Alex Rodriguez made a cameo in the episode. But Twitter was most excited about hockey player Hilary Knight's SNL cameo on Weekend Update. Knight won a gold medal with the USA women's ice hockey team during the 2018 Winter Olympics last month. She played the forward position on Team USA and scored the first goal in the championship game against Canada.

On Weekend Update, hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost brought out SNL cast member Leslie Jones, who served as an official NBC commentator for the Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea last month, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016. No. 1 Olympics fan Jones reflected on her experience in PyeongChang, where she met athletes, got to watch many epic moments, and make some awesome Olympics tweets, of course. In the segment, she also declared hockey as her new favorite sport. "If I played hockey, they would call me Penalty Box Jones, because that's where I'd be the whole game," Jones jokes to Jost.

Jost claims to be a hockey fan, but Jones teases him about whether or not that's true. Then, Jones brings out Knight out to sit with her at the desk. Knight wore her gold medal around her neck and a Team USA hockey jersey. Jost congratulates Knight and continues the teasing of Jost and his hockey skills. "I got friends who are gold medal Olympians," Jones tells Jost, playfully.

Jones and Knight close the segment by doing a call and response to the famous refrain from Beyoncé's "Run The World (Girls)." Knight and Jones ask, "Who run the world?" Jost flatly replies, "Girls."

The 2018 Winter Olympics may be over, but Twitter's reaction to Knight's SNL cameo shows that the enthusiasm for Team USA still remains.
