Why do we have a Brit hosting the USA coverage of the Olympics on NBC?

No Americans are as eminently qualified? British accent lends gravitas? Americans are more entertained by a British voice?
What is it?

Because she does the soccer coverage on NBCSN and they are using her for more studio jobs.

Clearly the accent has value.

Same reason soccer is unwatchable unless we have the British accent

America's Got Talent doesn't have a single American on the judges panel.
