We’re back with another riveting roundup of entertainment news! We’re still on a will-they-or-won’t-they rollercoaster when it comes to the Tokyo Olympics especially since the head of the organization didn’t rule out a possible cancellation amid the rising COVID-19 variant cases but we do have room to go up for Black journalism in connection with Olympic promo.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC has kicked off its Olympic coverage marketing campaign with NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt titled, “The Anchor for America.”
The promo spot states a theme of “when we need dialogue over drama,” signaling Holt as a calming “anchor” to lead the contentious conversations surrounding the uprising following George Floyd’s murder, debates around COVID-19 vaccinations and more.
