The Jonas Brothers turn against each other in 'Olympic Dreams' special this summer
The Tokyo Olympics are still on schedule to begin Friday, July 23.
A year-long postponement is enough to hype people up to watch the Olympic Games, but the Jonas Brothers are doing their part to add some extra zhuzh to the festivities:
Deadline added more context into the program:
"NBC is taking sibling rivalry to an Olympic level. The network today unveiled Olympic Dreams Featuring Jonas Brothers, an hourlong special set for summer that pits Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas against one another with help from some of Team USA’s best athletes.
The Olympic Games is the pre-eminent sporting competition and the ultimate test of athleticism, with only the world’s best getting the chance to compete. For the three Jonas brothers raised in Wycoff, NJ, becoming Olympians was a dream established at an early age. And it was only sidelined by another lofty goal: pop stardom. Now, after more than a decade as one of music’s biggest acts, the Jonas boys are ready to prove they have what it takes to compete at an Olympic level."
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics were originally scheduled to kick off July 24, 2020, but the then-burgeoning COVID-19 pandemic forced the event's official postponement March 24. It marked the first time the Olympics had been postponed—though there have been total cancellations in the past, and there are increasing concerns over Tokyo moving forward with hosting the Summer Games amid another wave.
