Here's how Jill Biden thinks the US can match the French pizzazz at the LA Olympics

First lady Jill Biden praised Paris' “spectacular” Olympics opening ceremony and looked ahead Saturday to how the U.S. can similarly dazzle audiences when the Games are held in Los Angeles in four years. One word: Hollywood.

Leading the U.S. presidential delegation to the Olympics, Biden snapped photos at the ceremony along the Seine River on Friday night after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte.

The show combined elaborate performances from the likes of Celine Dion, Lady Gaga and French-Malian pop star Aya Nakamura with French flair. The landmarks of Paris became backdrops for fantastical song, dance and surprises like a hot air balloon carrying a ring of fire into a rainy Paris sky near the Eiffel Tower.

The show's pizzazz wowed despite heavy rain that drenched the athletes parading on boats down the Seine and the crowds gathered on the river's banks and bridges to cheer them on.

But Biden made it clear that “the rain did not dampen our spirits.” Speaking at a reception at the U.S. ambassador to France’s official residence, she mused on how the U.S. could top the show in 2028.

«OK, so Paris has the Eiffel Tower, but we have Hollywood, right? And the magic of Hollywood that makes all dreams come true. So I think we’re gonna be OK,” she said.

Biden was already feeling the celebrity buzz in Paris, hugging and taking photos with hip-hop icon Flavor Flav when she stopped by to watch a women’s water polo match. They both grinned, decked in red, white and blue USA outfits, the rapper wearing a custom USA Water Polo clock around his neck — his signature accoutrement. She also met and took photos with athletes from the U.S. team.
