Covering the length of the Olympics with the same group of people can lead to camaraderie and occasionally pranks, like the one NBC’s Liam McHugh pulled on fellow anchor Dan Patrick. On the handover to Patrick on NBCSN Friday, his last such one of these Games, McHugh said he wanted to leave Patrick with some memories of himself, and did so with a rather drastic redecoration of Patrick’s dressing room:
That’s quite the funny move from McHugh, if just a little creepy. Here’s another photo he tweeted of it:
Knowing @dpshow would miss me terribly after Rio, I decided to redecorate his green room. @NBCOlympics pic.twitter.com/K5sLaCcVAc

Well played, McHugh. Maybe Patrick can return the favour with a prank of his own at a future date.
