LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Veteran broadcaster Al Michaels will host NBC's daytime Winter Olympics coverage from Vancouver in 2010, the network said Thursday.
The assignment will mark the 30th anniversary of Michaels' famed call at the Lake Placid Olympics -- "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" -- during the USA men's hockey team's upset victory over the USSR. Sports Illustrated voted the moment as the greatest in 20th-century sports history.
This will be Michaels' first Olympic broadcast job in 22 years.
