FOLLOWING IS A RUNDOWN OF NBC OLYMPICS’ ON-AIR & DIGITAL TEAM:

NBC & NBCSN HOSTS:

  • BOB COSTAS: Costas serves as NBC’s primetime Olympic host for a U.S. television record 11th time when the world’s top athletes gather for the Games of the XXXI Olympiad. He has served as primetime host for every Olympics on NBC since 1992, including the 2012 London Games, which is the most-watched television event in U.S. history, reaching 217 million viewers. The Rio assignment is Costas’ seventh as primetime host of a Summer Games – also the most in U.S. television history.

  • RYAN SEACREST: Seacrest will serve as host for NBC’s late night coverage of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Seacrest was a correspondent for NBC’s coverage of the 2012 London Games, during which he interviewed U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps and was one of the hosts of the Closing Ceremony.

OLYMPIC CORRESPONDENTS:

  • MARY CARILLO: Rio marks Carillo’s 13thOlympic assignment overall and 10th for NBC. She spent nearly three weeks traversing Brazil to film her travelogues, which have been a fundamental part of introducing the people, culture, and history of the host country and city to the U.S. television audience since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Carillo also served as a correspondent for the 2014 Sochi Olympics, and was the host and interviewer for a primetime 20-year retrospective documentary about Olympic figure skaters Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding.

After receiving critical acclaim for their figure skating analysis on NBCSN’s coverage of the 2014 Sochi Games, Lipinski and Weir were named NBC’s lead figure skating commentary team. Lipinski is the youngest individual gold medalist in the history of the Olympic Winter Games, capturing a gold medal at the Nagano Olympics in 1998 at the age of 15.
