Olympics
Ok, we have the hosts and some of the correspondents for NBC’s Olympic
coverage. The names listed are not surprises. They’re pretty close to
what I predicted earlier this month. Now these are hosts for NBC, not
for any of the cable networks. We’ll get that list later. And we’ll
get the list of the announcers and analysts plus reporters.
Bob Costas hosts primetime, his 9th in primetime dating back to 1992
and his 10th overall Olympiad since 1988.
Al Michaels and Dan Patrick will host daytime coverage from London.
They’ll also host weekends.
Mary Carillo hosts late night as she has during the Communist China
and Vancouver Olympics.
NBC will utilize American Idol no-talent hack Ryan Seacrest as a
contributor in primetime. Also being used as a correspondent will be
John McEnroe. Bela Karolyi will be back with Bob Costas to be a studio
analyst for gymnastics. The Bela & Bob Show in 2008 was one of the
highlights of the Communist China Games.
We have the press release from NBC.

NEW YORK – April 26, 2012 – Bob Costas, a 22-time Emmy Award-winning
broadcaster, returns as the primetime host for NBC’s coverage of the
2012 London Olympic Games, which begin Friday, July 27. For Costas,
this marks his 10th Olympic broadcast assignment and his ninth as the
primetime host (Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sidney 2000, Salt Lake
City, 2002, Athens 2004, Turin 2006, Communist China 2008, Vancouver
2010).
Al Michaels, who hosted daytime coverage at the Vancouver Olympic
Winter Games, and Dan Patrick, making his Olympic hosting debut, will
host NBC’s live weekday and weekend daytime coverage, and Mary Carillo
will once again host the NBC late night show.
Additionally, top TV broadcaster Ryan Seacrest, tennis legend John
McEnroe, famed gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi, and Carillo,
broadcasting her 11th Olympic Games, will serve as Olympic
correspondents during primetime coverage on NBC.
NBC OLYMPIC HOSTS:
The 2012 London Games will be Bob Costas’ 10th for NBC and his ninth
as primetime host. After serving as late night host in 1988 from
Seoul, South Korea, Costas earned acclaim for his work as primetime
host from Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney, Salt Lake City, Athens, Turin,
Beijing and Vancouver. Costas, who has the longest tenure of the
network’s sports commentators, joined NBC in 1980.
Al Michaels, one of the most renowned commentators of all-time and
whose legendary “Do you believe in miracles? Yes!” call at the 1980
Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games 32 years ago stands as one of the
most famous calls in sports history, will work his second straight
Olympics for NBC, serving as host of NBC’s live weekend and weekday
daytime coverage from London. Michaels was the daytime host at the
Vancouver Winter Olympic Games in 2010, his first Olympic broadcast
assignment in 22 years, when he covered hockey and hosted the Closing
Ceremony at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics for ABC.
Dan Patrick will make his Olympic hosting debut joining Michaels as
host of NBC’s live weekday and weekend daytime coverage from London.
Patrick, host of Football Night in America and the Dan Patrick Show,
served as an Olympic correspondent for NBC in Vancouver.
Mary Carillo will host NBC’s late-night coverage for the third time,
reprising her role from Beijing and Vancouver. Carillo will also serve
as an Olympic correspondent and provide a look into life in the United
Kingdom through a collection of features done in her own inimitable
style, similar to her acclaimed work during the Beijing and Vancouver
Games. London is Carillo’s 11th Olympic Games and eighth for NBC.
OLYMPIC CORRESPONDENTS:
As previously announced on NBC News’ TODAY, top TV broadcaster Ryan
Seacrest will make his Olympic broadcasting debut, serving as a
contributor for NBC’s primetime coverage from London.
Legendary tennis star and broadcaster John McEnroe will make his
Olympic broadcasting debut in London. McEnroe, who has served as a
tennis analyst for NBC since 1992, and dominated the tennis world in
the 1980’s, winning three Wimbledon and four U.S. Open titles, will
serve as an Olympic correspondent on NBC’s primetime coverage.
Bela Karolyi, arguably the most successful coach in gymnastics
history, is one of his sports’ most-recognized personalities. He has
coached and trained world-renowned gymnasts for the Olympic Games from
1976-2004, and returns to NBC as an Olympic correspondent, the same
role he filled during in Communist China.
Back with more soon.
