LOS ANGELES (AP) — Singer Kelly Clarkson and NFL legend Peyton Manning will bring a new flavor to NBC Universal's upcoming Paris Olympics coverage this summer.
Clarkson and Manning are expected to join Mike Tirico to host the opening ceremony, the network announced Tuesday night. The ceremony's live coverage will air July 26 on NBC and Peacock at noon ET.
“I'm extremely honored to have a front row seat,” said Manning, a Pro Football Hall of Famer who won two Super Bowls during his 18 seasons in the NFL. He is now the co-host of “Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” with his brother and former NFL quarterback Eli Manning.
Clarkson is a three-time Grammy and multi-Emmy winner through her NBC talk show “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” She also hosted the NFL Honors last year.
