In his One Big Thing segment Monday night, Van Pelt said the NBC Winter Olympics host has elevated himself to a position in the industry where he stands alone at the top in sports broadcasting following his uplifting message after Team USA beat Canada in the gold medal men’s hockey game. “The message is one thing. How you deliver it is another,” Van Pelt said, per Awful Announcing. “And the moment is the truly elusive thing. And this was a singular moment in time. A Sunday morning in America in winter, with the entire nation watching. And Mike was able to finish telling this remarkable story in a way I truly believe only he could, elevating this craft to its pinnacle and somehow being equal to a moment that will be remembered for all time here in the United States of America.”
