Kathleen: In your own mind, how will you judge yourself as a commentator? What will be the standard you'll measure yourself against?
Kurt: Scott Hamilton. If I can do as well as Scott, then I won't embarrass myself. I like that he is so genuinely positive about skating and about whatever event or program he's commentating on. If a skater is in trouble out there on the ice and having a bad program - how can I say this (pauses) - Scott will try to 'save' the performance for the viewer. He'll find the strong points and the good things to talk about. As former amateur competitors, we've all been there - we've all had bad days. And rather than just let it go completely negative or sound disgusted with a performance, Scott will find a way to turn it around.
