Cris Collinsworth has been the face of NBC’s Sunday Night Football coverage for over 15 years. Now, another Collinsworth is in the mix.
Jac Collinsworth will participate in official Super Bowl coverage for the second time ahead of Super Bowl 60. He’ll have the unique opportunity of hosting the pregame show from Alcatraz Island with Tony Dungy and Rodney Harrison.
According to NBC, the Super Bowl LX Pregame Show “will feature a look at the island’s historic significance as a military base, prison, and seabird conservation site, as well as the 19-month occupation by Native Americans in support of freedom and civil rights.”
Jac, 30, began his relationship with NBC in 2013 while studying at Notre Dame. He was part of the sideline production team for four years and served as NBC’s sideline reporter for the Fighting Irish’s spring game in 2016 and 2017. After a four-year stint at ESPN, Jac returned to NBC in 2020 to become the host of Football Night in America and Notre Dame Football on NBC.
So, the obvious question is whether Jac and Cris Collinsworth are related. The answer is yes. Jac is one of Cris’ four children.
There you have it!
