John Cherwa is your daily guide to the Paris Olympics, offering news, analysis, laughter (we think) and invaluable daily TV listings.
It’s finally time for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics. I’m John Cherwa and I will not be among the 10,500 who will take a boat trip down the Seine today. The two days of appetizers are over. We’ve probably watched the last of rugby and team handball. Our days of finding the channel number for USA network are likely done. As Michael Buffer made a ton money saying, “Let’s get ready to rumble.” But before we start dishing details and offering opinions, let’s get one thing straight.
Some mark the beginning of the Games with the start of the opening ceremony, others say it’s when the cauldron is lit or when competition starts. Well, we here at the newsletter, mark the start of the Games when NBC “journalist” Hoda Kotb hugs her first athlete. That moment came Thursday at the end of the first hour of the Today show when, in a clearly set-up bit, she opened a dressing room curtain and found Tamari Davis, a U.S. sprinter.
