Additional notes

  • (*) Though the United States boycotted these games, NBC held the rights to the Moscow Olympics, and the number of hours broadcast were reduced from 100+ hours to little more than three. The host for the two-hour wrap-up show was Bryant Gumbel,[3][4] who was scheduled to be the main prime time host. Therefore, he's given credit for being the anchor.
  • Another of NBC's hosts is Jim Lampley. Lampley has served as late-night host in 1992, 1996 and 2006. He was the daytime host in 2004, 2006, and 2008. During 2000 and 2002, he hosted cable coverage. The Beijing Games is his 14th Olympic assignment (including work for ABC, CBS and TNT), more than for any other commentator.[5]
  • Al Michaels was weekday/weekend host of the 2010 Winter Olympics. This marked his first Olympic assignment since the 1988 Winter Olympics, which was the last to date aired on Michaels' long-time employer ABC Sports.
  • Hannah Storm also hosted four Olympics (late-night: 1992 and 1996, daytime: 2000 and 2002) for NBC. She left NBC for CBS News in 2002, then moved to ESPN in 2008; she began her new assignment as SportsCenter anchor on the first weekday of the Beijing Games (August 11).
