So in the Olympics, I don't call events. I'm hosting, so I just do the daytime and then the primetime hosting. And I love... I love when athletes win medals and they come to sit on the couch with their medals on.
Because that's the moment they dream of, right? And not necessarily sitting with me, but just being there and being interviewed.

Yeah, the winter fireplace. The summer this year would be the Eiffel Tower in the background. And they just got this heavy medal around their neck and they're just sitting there. And I've loved that. Every time I see an Olympic athlete and get a chance to talk to them or interview them, I always end it with like, Hey, I hope I get to interview you with a medal around your neck, right?

No matter what color medal it is. And it's just so... That's like one of the terms that translates everywhere. You can be in a village in Africa. You can be in Australia. You can be anywhere. Olympian translates. And the coolest part of that opening ceremony, which you mentioned before, is going to go down the River Seine with a boat parade of the athletes. It's going to be very different.

For most of the athletes, that's their Olympic moment, right? Because they don't get on the podium and sing their anthem. Only about 350 or a little bit less than that win gold medals. So their moment is being in the opening ceremony with all the best athletes in the world who made it there. I get a little melancholy and a little sappy about it, but it's so dang cool.

No, that's a really good question. I'd like to talk to Babe Ruth.
