Couric will co-host the Opening Ceremony with Mike Tirico on Friday, February 9 at Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium. The event will be broadcast on NBC, as well as simultaneously live-streamed on the NBC Sports app and on NBCOlympics.com

Couric co-hosted Today from 1991 to 2006 alongside Matt Lauer, leading the top-rated morning news show on television.

After leaving NBC, she anchored the CBS Evening News, then hopped to ABC and hosted a short-lived eponymous daytime talk show.

Couric briefly returned to Today in January 2017 to serve as guest co-anchor while Savannah Guthrie was on maternity leave.
