It was hard not to get hooked on the Summer Games in Paris this year, as the network’s streaming product provided a wide-ranging and compelling viewing experience.
There’s something different about these Olympics, and it’s not just E. coli on the triathlon course or a beach volleyball stadium at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. As both a lifelong fan of the Olympics and a media member. If NBC were to pull the plug on this product for future Olympics, some fans would be as angry as if the IOC yanked track and field., one of the program’s four daily hosts.
I figured who better to explain the success of the show than one of those hosts, so I connected with Iseman, who tag-teams the first time slot of the day with Collinsworth. What I got when Iseman picked up the phone was … both Iseman and Collinsworth on speakerphone. It’s unclear when they’ve last left each other’s side.. Their daily ritual: They get off set, grab a bite to eat and then sit on a balcony in their Stamford, Conn., hotel and watch Siciliano and Hanson.
The show is also different at different times of day. Iseman and Collinsworth captain a true morning show. They appear at 7 a.m. to recap the early-morning action you may have missed, then talk about their coffee and show photos of pets watching. Siciliano and Hanson get more down to business during a time of day when more of the critical medal events seem to air in quick succession. The morning guys have time to fence against each other and bring in kids for a taekwondo demonstration.
“There’s no rulebook for this,” Collinsworth says. “They made a point of telling that. It makes you dip into your creative bag.”
