The following is a list of commentators to be featured in CBS' television broadcasts of the Olympic Games. CBS was the very first television network in the United States to broadcast the Olympics, beginning with the 1960 Winter Games from Squaw Valley, California.

Hosts

Jim McKay was originally tabbed to be the lead broadcaster of the network's coverage of the 1960 Winter Olympics, but had to be replaced by Walter Cronkite after suffering a mental breakdown. McKay recovered in time to host the 1960 Summer Olympics from the CBS Television studio in Grand Central Terminal.[1]

Each Winter Olympics telecast from the 1990s had a different prime time host(s): Paula Zahn and Tim McCarver[2] in 1992, Greg Gumbel[2][3] in 1994, and Jim Nantz[2] in 1998.
