I’ve always thought the battle of the network stars should have been fought with automatic weapons.

Gregory Harrison remains hot today and I still love Greg Evigan. What a fun video - thanks for posting. Amazing how they’ve aged so and I haven’t. LOL

Howard (I never played the game) Cosell. How many impression acts were gutted when he died.

I used to watch this event when I was a kid.

Loved the episode where geeky Gabe Kaplan beat uber-man Robert Conrad in a sprint for the championship.

Conrad flipped out for losing to a dork.

Asner was in “El Dorado” made in 1967 when he was either thirty-seven or thirty-eight. He looked like he was about fifty years old then.
