Did NBC ever do a story on the Shroud of Turin? It's one of Torino's most famous artifacts. It's also of religious nature. Guess they didn't for that reason.
I think Brian Williams mentioned it in passing while dissing the USA during opening ceremonies.

No, but Jay Leno did a piece on his "Olympic Tonight Show" which pretty much mocked the Shroud of Turin. Sent a clueless college kid inside the church where it resides, who yucked it up with Jay (back in the California studio) by making jokes about it. It was pretty disgusting, actually...
