Couric will co-host with Mike Tirico the Opening Ceremony to be held Friday, Feb. 9 at Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium. The gala will be broadcast on NBC as well as for the first time ever simultaneously live-streamed (via the NBC Sports app and on NBCOlympics.com).
Couric, of course, co-hosted Today from 1991 to 2006, pairing with Matt Lauer to lead the top-rated morning show on TV. After leaving NBC, she anchored the CBS Evening News, then hopped to ABC and hosted a short-lived eponymous daytime talk show.
Couric briefly returned to Today in January 2017 to serve as guest co-anchor while Savannah Guthrie was on maternity leave.
