I just love Johnny Weir. He doesn't talk aimlessly to fill a void. In fact, he actually stops talking just to allow the audience to hear the music and concentrate on what is going on with the skaters and just absorb the performance.

When he does comment, it's to inform and not to prattle on. He's very knowledgeable about skating and they both bring a fresh perspective. And I love that he's knowledgeable about Russia and truly understands and is a fan of Russian culture.

ITA Completely!!! I think I heard him say his in-laws are Russian.

I love the "Tara and Johnny" show, and I like the play by play commentator with them - Terry Gannon. The three of them have a great chemistry.

I was hoping we'd hear some commentary from Charlie White's long-time girlfriend Tanith Belbin. She's working for NBC too. She was asked in an interview if she could be objective. She said she could, but of course she was hoping they'd do well!

I knew Johnny understands and speaks some Russian, didn't know why. He has been doing some interpreting and I thought perhaps it was just because of his world travels. Interesting if his in-laws are Russian. I wish Tara and Johnny would do all the ice skating commentary.

I was so impressed when watching Meryl & Charlie….Tara and Johnny said absolutely NOTHING during their performance. They truly let that incredible performance stand on its own. Hoping Meryl & Charlie will get the gold. Sounds like there might even be a chance for another American dance couple to get a medal also. Of course, so many of the dance pairs are/were either American citizens or train here, so it's hard to root against many of them. Such beautiful performances by all.

I so agree. They are all so talented and wonderful to watch. If you want to see perfection, you just did or something like that was said after Meryl and Charlie by Johnny.

It was just a "teaser", very short. The full interview by Billy Bush will air today/tonight? on "Access Hollywood". In the snippet, Bush asked him about growing up, and he said basically that he was "a scrappy kid" who dealt with bulling by telling himself the those idiots would be the ones washing his car when he grew up.

The cutest part was when he was asked if he would repeat any of his outfits, he replied "No, I overpacked". He is such a personable young man.
