And also Tom Brokaw...making political references -- either current or historical -- as certain countries were introduced during the parade of nations.

This guy looked like a favorite to screw up, when allowed to speak so often. I have no idea why they couldn't have allowed Katie Couric to handle the analyst role by herself, alongside host Mike Tirico.

Kind of ironic that Lauer's harassment charges stem from the previous Winter Olympics at Sochi 2014.
