How it works: Tirico is one of the most versatile sports broadcasters in the world, but in an interview with Axios, he said the Olympics "requires much more knowledge of history and preparation than covering a professional sports event." While the Olympics have been livestreamed since 2012, this is the first time NBC Universal will have its new streaming service, Peacock, available to stream events. In addition, NBC's coverage plans will differ dramatically this year from previous Olympic Games. In total, there are a record 178 commentators guiding NBCUniversal's coverage of the Games across all of NBCU's channels, including NBC, USA Network, CNBC, NBCSN and NBC's Olympic streaming channel. Rebecca Lowe will serve as NBC’s daytime coverage host.
Other prominent people will join as special correspondents for NBC, including skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, figure skating gold medalist Tara Lipinski, and Olympic figure skater and television commentator Johnny Weir. He will help Tirico and other hosts analyze data in real time, like Olympic medal counts, scores, records and more. One familiar face that's new to the Olympics will be MSNBC political data guru Steve Kornacki. Tirico's role is just one of the changes viewers can expect to see in this year's Summer Olympics coverage.
