NBC Sports’ Mike Tirico will have some pretty heady company during the opening ceremony at this year’s Summer Olympics in Paris.
On the Tuesday episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Tirico was joined by Kelly Clarkson and Peyton Manning to announce they would host the festivities.
“It’s an honor to be able to announce for the first time anywhere that this year, at the Summer Olympics in Paris, the opening ceremony will be hosted by yours truly, Peyton Manning and Kelly Clarkson,” Tirico said as the crowd erupted in applause.
“I’m so glad we can say it. We’ve been holding this,” Clarkson added.
Manning said the experience would be special because he told his mother in high school that he would take her to Paris one day, and he was finally living up to his promise.
