Q: NBC will broadcast the Ceremonies again in prime time tonight  at 8 p.m. Eastern. This version will have commentary from hosts Katie Couric  who was tapped to place Matt Lauer after his firing  and Mike Tirico  who replaced  Bob Costas  as NBC’s prime-time host after a nearly three-decade run.
Tirico made his prime-time debut Thursday night. The Washington Post’s Rick Maese caught up with him before the Games to learn more about his new high-profile assignment. “I think trying to be  Bob  would be stupid. And that was one of  his  bits of advice: Be yourself ” Tirico said. “So I’m going to try to do that.” For the full Q&A  scroll down to the “Olympics Corner” section of this newsletter.
For 11 straight Summer and Winter Games — dating back to 1992 —  Bob Costas  served as the familiar and reliable face of the Olympics. But  Costas  is sitting out the PyeongChang Games and has passed the torch to Tirico  who will serve as NBC’s prime-time host  starting with Friday’s Opening Ceremonies. Tirico joined the network in 2016 after more than two decades at ESPN and was a daytime host of the Rio Games. He recently spoke with The Washington Post’s Rick Maese about his new high-profile assignment.
Q: It’s not like you’re a newcomer to this broadcasting game  but did you seek out  Costas  for any advice?
A: There’s been a longtime friendship there. I don’t think that’s overstating it. And I can’t imagine this job changing hands more smoothly.  Bob  has been unbelievable in making  himself  available  if I have any questions. I know I can pick up the phone during the Games  and if I have a question  I know I’ll get an honest answer.  Bob ’s the all-time best.  Bob  set a standard for the amount of times  he  did this and the way  he  did it that likely won’t be matched ever again. So I’m not replacing  him ; I’m following  him . I think trying to be  Bob  would be stupid. And that was one of  his  bits of advice: Be yourself. So I’m going to try to do that.

A: The best piece of advice that I got from  Bob  and from Al [Michaels] before the Rio Games working daytime: You don’t have to know everything about everyone. It’s impossible. The experts at each sport have that covered. In the host role  you just need to have the overriding story lines. I’m trying to get to the top of the surface. It’s like one of those fancy Starbucks drinks — you do want to get some of the coffee  but you want to make sure you get all foam. But how has my life changed? I’m sitting in my office right now. Two years ago  I certainly would be watching a replay of a Big Ten or an NBA game from the night before. And right now I’m watching the women’s skeleton competition from Germany. And it’s the fourth different Olympic event that I’ve watched since I’ve been up this morning.

Q: It was supposed to be a triumphant year for  White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner . Part of the team that guided his father-in-law to victory in 2016   the young Kushner  was catapulted into the highest echelons of power.
 He  was handed a broad portfolio that included making peace in the Middle East and was reportedly a key part of Trumpâs inner circle and decision-making team. But as 2017 dragged on  the man known as Mr. Perfect had anything but a perfect year.
Here are  Kushner âs worst moments from 2017:
When  Kushner  visited Iraq in April  he obviously did not want to abandon his dedication to preppy style. But the image of the senior adviser sporting a flak jacket (with âKushnerâ scrawled on it)  along with a blazer and khakis  brought on a torrent of mockery.

Although  Kushner  stepped down as head of Kushner Companies in January   his  real-estate firm gave  him  a number of headaches throughout 2017. Perhaps the biggest one was its use of the EB-5 visa program  which allows wealthy investors to gain visas in return for investing in the U.S.
Jared and Ivanka are reported to be scaling back their roles in the White House after officials have become annoyed by their presence. The move came shortly after Trumpâs decision to back Sen. Luther Strange in the Alabama Senate primary backfired spectacularly and Strange was crushed by conservative challenger Judge Roy Moore.  Kushner  was widely believed to have been a key voice in urging Trump to get involved in the race and back Strangeâa decision Trump himself admitted may have been a âmistake.â
 Kushner  was also widely reported to be a key official encouraging President Trump to fire FBI Director James Comeyâa move which has since turned out to be seen as a mistake as it directly led to the appointment of FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller  whose probe has dogged the Trump administration throughout 2017.
FBI Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs appointment was announced in the wake of the firing of FBI Director James Comeyâa decision reportedly backed by  Kushner . But as the probe has gone on   Kushner  has apparently become a key figure for Mueller.
 Kushner  was part of a 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer at Trump Towerâa meeting which Trump Jr. said he took as it promised information that would âincriminateâ Hillary Clinton.
 Kushner  was questioned by Muellerâs team in November  during which  he  reportedly answered questions about a meeting with the Russian ambassador during the transition. It later emerged that  Kushner  was the âsenior Trump officialâ who directed former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to contact the ambassador about a U.N. vote on Israeli settlements.
While it is not clear if the Mueller team believes  Kushner  did anything wrong  Muellerâs interest in him has no doubt led to a tough 2017 for  Kushner .
 Kushner  spent much of 2017 aggravating congressional lawmakers with  his  lack of disclosure about  his  foreign contacts and other information deemed importantâparticularly over various investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Two Senate committees have complained about  his  failure to hand over certain documents  and that they have learned certain details from the media. Lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee were angered in September when they discovered from media reports that  Kushner  used a private email account occasionally for White House business.
Lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote to  Kushner âs lawyer in November  saying the document collection he provided to the committee was incomplete.
Newsweek reported in December that  Kushner  is still using an interim security clearance after  he  initially omitted dozens of foreign contracts from  his  original form submission for clearance.

Q: Image copyright Getty Images Image caption  Lili Fini  Zanuck has directed a new documentary about rock legend Eric Clapton
 Lili Fini  Zanuck  who was only the second woman to ever win a best picture Oscar when  she  took the award for Driving Miss Daisy in 1990  also produced Cocoon and directed 1991's Rush.
"No  we haven't turned a corner "  she  says when asked whether the tumultuous events of 2017 meant the climate was changing for women in the entertainment industry.
Image copyright Getty Images Image caption  Zanuck  won a Critics' Choice TV Award for Bessie  starring Queen Latifah (second left)  in 2015
 Zanuck  also warns of "tokenism" rather than real change following the allegations of sexual assault and harassment made against prominent Hollywood figures in 2017  including producer Harvey Weinstein.
For part of her career   Lili Fini  Zanuck made films with  her  husband Richard D Zanuck  a producer on the original Jaws movie  who died in 2012. While he co-produced Driving Miss Daisy   she  was the force behind it.
The story of an elderly woman and  her  African American chauffeur  played by Morgan Freeman  started as an independent film and went on to win four Oscars  including for Miss Daisy  herself   Jessica Tandy. It was nominated for another five.
 Zanuck  says she didn't necessarily think she'd come back to directing  but her decades-long friendship with Clapton ( he  did the score for her movie Rush) meant that  he  approached her to make Life in 12 Bars.
" He  was asked to do the film and  he  said  he  would only participate if I directed it " she says. She wasn't surprised  she adds  that the 18-time Grammy winner hadn't been willing to put  his  name to a film about  his  career before now.
 Zanuck  says the "luxury" of directing only came after Driving Miss Daisy  adding that she used the Oscar "to grab my chance  but one doesn't necessarily lead into the other".
Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars is released in the UK on 12 January. A Q&A with Clapton and  Zanuck  will be broadcast live to cinemas around the UK with a preview screening of the film on 10 January.
