by

Stanley Tucci is saying “ciao” to the Olympics.

I’m so excited to share that Anne Hathaway, who you probably know from *The Devil Wears Prada*, is going to be in Italy next year! She announced on *Today* this morning that she’ll be working with NBC to cover the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina. As a big fan, I can’t wait to see what she brings to the coverage!

He announced in a video on the morning news that he’ll be covering the Milan-Cortina Olympics on NBC. He invited viewers to join him for prime-time coverage, promising fantastic food, drinks, and world-class competition. He expressed his excitement and hopes that viewers will enjoy the games as much as he will.

I’m so excited to hear that Stanley Tucci will be giving us a peek into the cultures surrounding the Winter Olympics! Knowing his Italian background and passion for food, he’ll be sharing beautiful travel segments focusing on the local cuisine, traditions, and history of each host region. It’s going to be fantastic!

As someone who’s incredibly passionate about Italian culture, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share a little piece of my homeland with sports fans worldwide. It’s a really exciting moment for me!

He shared in a press release on September 15th that he’s always been passionate about Italy, enjoying both its culture and cuisine through travel. This time, however, he’s excited to share the experience with a global audience.

I can’t wait to go back to northern Italy with the Olympics coming to town,” the actor continued. “It’s fascinating to think about what Italian dishes people around the world will enjoy, which local favorites will be discovered, and how Italy will change as it welcomes everyone. I’m thrilled to share all of it with viewers in the US this February.

Molly Solomon, the executive producer for NBC Olympics, explained that Stanley Tucci’s popular cookbooks and travel shows focused on food made him the perfect choice to cover the Winter Olympics in February.

Americans love Italian culture, and Stanley Tucci has become the leading expert on the subject thanks to his popular TV shows and books, according to Solomon. He combines genuine curiosity with excellent storytelling, making him the ideal person to showcase the food and culture of northern Italy. They’re excited for his new show to inspire viewers to experience Italian cuisine.

NBC has used celebrities as Olympic correspondents before. Last year at the Summer Olympics in Paris, Colin Jost from *Saturday Night Live* reported on surfing from Fiji, and Snoop Dogg offered commentary throughout the Games in France.

NBC’s broadcast of the 2026 Winter Olympics begins on February 6th with the opening ceremony, which will be shown on both NBC and Peacock. Coverage will continue through February 22nd.
