NBC has just announced Emmy Award winner Al Michaels will serve as host of NBC's live weekend and weekday daytime coverage of the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010.

This will be Michaels' first Olympic broadcast assignment in 22 years. He's been a little busy with "Monday" and "Sunday Night Football." His last work was calling hockey games at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. But, he is best remembered for his work 30 years ago at the Lake Placid Olympics where he capped of an upset win by the American hockey team with "Do you believe in miracles? YES!"

Michaels is the only broadcaster to call the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals and host the Stanley Cup Final for network television.
