LOS ANGELES – Gold medal winners aren’t the only celebrities expected at this year’s Olympic Games.
Snoop Dogg, Kevin Hart, Kenan Thompson, Kelly Clarkson, Leslie Jones, Peyton Manning and Jimmy Fallon will be part of the contingent NBC puts in the venues to tell the story of runners, gymnasts, swimmers and other athletes hoping to make history. The action begins July 24 with coverage of soccer games on USA.
The additions are expected to add new reasons to tune into the primetime broadcasts, when NBC and Peacock have already shown the events live during the day.
The three-hour nightly “curated presentation,” as Executive Producer Molly Solomon calls it, will recap each day’s top performances on NBC and include a host of extras.
