Does he also report on sports? Clue a girl in because I just don't get the connection. There have been rumors for a while that NBC considered him a potential Lauer replacement. Lauer did the opening ceremony, so I guess we're stuck with Seacrest for this.

I guess what I don't understand is the whole 'Olympic concept' of NBC. I get having Matt Lauer or Ryan Seacrest for the opening and closing ceremonies, but why is he still around during the rest of it. Every time I turned past NBC, there's Seacrest drinking margaritas or something else stupid and chatting. Constant nattering even and not a whole hell of a lot of event coverage. I read an article today that said NBC's Olympic viewership is down 17%. At the same time, CBC's Olympic viewership is up 18%. Coincidence? I think not...
