Figure skating fans and TV viewers who have enjoyed the spot-on analysis and lit commentary from former Olympians Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir should make sure to watch the closing ceremony.
Lipinkski, Weir and Terry Gannon will host the event from Pyeongchang, South Korea. Prime-time coverage begins Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.
The bookend to every Olympics includes the parade of nations and probably also will feature k-pop, fireworks and plenty of pageantry — a perfect setting for this trio.
Ivanka Trump, daughter of President Trump, also is expected to attend.
“I started commentating 10 years ago and I thought my biggest dream would be the moment we sat down in our primetime chairs here in Pyeongchang, which has been the most incredible experience,” said Lipinski, who won the gold medal in women's figure skating in 1998. “But for this assignment to happen, it’s a huge honor and privilege.”
Weir celebrated the news with Lipinski when NBC announced it live Wednesday.
"This is a glorious and unexpected experience that I can’t wait to get fancy for!”
And we can't wait to see what he wears.
