What I Want To Be When I Grow Up


I think I have found my dream job.  Something I could be completely happy doing for years and year to come.  I'd like the job NBC Sports has given either Mary Carillo, their late night Olympics anchor, or Jimmy Roberts, the man-about-town for the Olympics.  I'm not picky.  Eitehr job would be great.  Maybe I could even be a two-for-one deal for NBC.

These veteran Olympic broadcasters file reports on everything from the back story of Oscar Pistorius, the South African double amputee who qualified for the semifinals in the  400 meter to a (brief) history of Hampton Court, once the palace of Henry VIII.

These two seem to be having as much fun as the athletes themselves.  They delve into the "behind the scenes" stories as well as the local history, culture and traditions.  This kind for job would be a perfect match for me.  Who do I need to talk to to work my way into that gig?

Somebody work on that, would ya?!

See the lists of video-stories these two have submitted so far:

Here for Mary

Here for Jimmy
