Re-posting here:

I’m just going to plop this here instead of creating a new thread but Johnny Weir is on watch what happens live tomorrow, Tuesday. I suppose he’s probably promoting the traitors and also the Olympics.

Tara was on the TODAY Show on Jan. 16, 2026: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgsk60FXpoI

Olympic gold medalist and NBC Olympics figure skating analyst Tara Lipinski joins TODAY to talk about the anticipation surrounding the star-studded U.S. figure skating team at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Games and the athletes to look out for, including “Quad God” Ilia Malinin. “I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s man on the moon type stuff,” she says.

Surprised I’m saying this, but I actually think Johnny & Tara have been doing a fairly decent job this Olympics? Yeah they’ve had a few mess-ups, such as Johnny not knowing that DS/D were dropping the back flip, and I could do without Tara’s OTT fangirling of Danny O’Shea, but in general I think they’ve been pretty decent and had some good insights—especially considering they’ve been on the air a LOT. Johnny has toned down his criticality, which can be too much sometimes, and I feel like they’ve been fairly kind-spirited toward the lower-ranked competitors. Note: I’ve been watching the USA/NBC feed for the better score tracker.

Same - the choice was easy, especially when they took away the actual commentary from Belinda unless watching in Multiview (I could do without Ollie).

I think they've been fairly supportive of all of the skaters and there hasn't been much snark at all.
