Mike will continue in his various duties at NBC Sports, including the role of primetime Olympic host." Costas announced earlier this year that he would step aside as prime-time host of NBC's Olympics coverage to make room for Tirico. Costas had been the on-air concierge to NBC's Olympics 11 times, starting in 1992. Tirico was considered the heir apparent for the role since he was hired by NBC from ESPN last year. His past sexual misconduct will presumably come up as NBC prepares for the event and the network has faced a variety of other scandals in recent memory.
