NBC will call upon some familiar faces to launch its coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Matt Lauer will host his fifth opening ceremony and will be joined by three-time host Meredith Vieira, the network announced on Tuesday.

Savannah Guthrie will also be part of what executive producer Jim Bell called “the perfect team on hand to capture what will be a once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere.”

“The Olympic opening ceremony is always a singular can’t-miss event, and this year, because it’s in Rio, you know it’s going to be a party like no other,” Bell said.


Bob Costas will once again host the network’s prime-time coverage and Ryan Seacrest will head the late-night broadcasts.

The Games are scheduled to begin on Aug. 5.
