Tirico to host NBC coverage of Tokyo Games from outdoor set

FILE - In this March 2, 2017, file photo, Mike Tirico attends the NBC Universal mid-season press day at the Four Seasons in New York. Tirico has not had a lot of planning time for his last two Olympic assignments. That is not the case this time with the Tokyo Summer Games a year out. Tirico, who took over as NBC’s Primetime Host at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games, has been on conference calls with the network’s Olympics unit once every two weeks for the last 18 months. He is in Tokyo this week touring the main venues and also doing some interviews with network affiliates promoting the games. (Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP, File)
