Things could get a little more interesting for NBC’s ski broadcasts, with Bode Miller set to make his debut as an on-air analyst.

One of the most successful alpine racers in American history, Miller has a history of speaking his mind and clashing with officials in his sport. He once admitted to competing while still drunk from the night before.

“We’re looking forward to Bode bringing his go-for-broke style from the slopes to the booth,” said John McGuinness, an NBC Sports coordinating producer.

Miller’s first telecast is scheduled for early December at a World Cup event in Beaver Creek, Colo. The winner of six Olympic medals has not officially retired but has said he will probably not race in the 2018 Winter Games.

“I love to watch and analyze ski racing, so that part should be very natural for me,” he said in a statement. “I love trying new things, and calling a race live will be a new experience.”
