Does anyone know what Adam is doing for NBC for the Olympics? I haven't seen him on any broadcasts or online, but he sure is dressing sharp every day per his IG.

Does anyone know what Adam is doing for NBC for the Olympics? I haven't seen him on any broadcasts or online, but he sure is dressing sharp every day per his IG.

On their last podcast, Sarah and Adam said that they were both working on the Olympics. Sarah was working as a producer on the gymnastics. Adam said he would be working in Connecticut and he still didn't know what he would be doing. I don't know if he's working on some commentary show and we just haven't seen it or if he is getting his feet wet and trying to learn something about production behind the scenes as some kind of assistant.

Yesterday on his IG he was getting his hair done at the studio and had on an official shirt so I assumed he’d be in front of a camera somewhere. But I haven’t seen anything on Peacock or elsewhere.

Today he posted a photo of himself in a control room during the gymnastics. I haven't seen him in front of a camera yet. I hope we do.

I thought his commentary was on point and insightful. And yes, he was looking mighty sharp. Well done.

Adam has a new solo podcast - The Podcast by Adam Rippon. The description reads:

The Podcast by Adam Rippon is your front-row seat into the wonderfully unpredictable mind of Adam Rippon. Comedic, casual, and completely unfiltered - this weekly podcast is for everyone who is hot and funny.

I'm listening to the first episode and already laughing out loud.

Interesting to see the comments on his ability to cook back in 2023. His performance on the current Worst Cooks in America do not substantiate this. However, maybe he has deliberately not showin his cards and will peak later in the competition. He is way too competitive, given his propensity for winning reality competitions.

I don't think there's anything real in "reality" TV - I'm watching it, but it's clear that Adam & several others are putting on an act.

Adam finished 2nd to Corinne Olympios in Sunday's finale (13 photos with a few glimpses of London, England where the show was filmed last spring): https://www.instagram.com/p/DFtpVzyvOTA/

WORST COOKS IN AMERICA.. Believe me when I say that filming this show was some of the most fun I have ever had. I am Team Jeff for life (I love you, Jeff!!) I came into this experience not knowing how to hold a knife and I left it with amazing friends (who also didn’t know how to hold a knife and maybe still don’t) I love you guys SO MUCH. ALL HAIL OUR WINNER, QUEEN CORN ? ?

Adam's new solo podcast is also available via his YT channel - 2nd episode dropped today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21Aj42B0l6I

I wrote fan mail to Adam when he was early in his career. I asked him what he liked to cook. He sent me a recipe for pesto with almonds. So, yeah, he knows how to cook.
