PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Dick Ebersol's career in television spans more than four decades. He was the cocreator with Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live. In 1989, he was named president of NBC Sports, where he led award-winning and record-setting coverage of all major sports and the Olympics and created Sunday Night Football. In 1996, The Sporting News named him The Most Powerful Person in Sports. He is the recipient of an Emmy Award for Lifetime Achievement and the NFL's Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award, and he is a member of the US Olympic Hall of Fame and the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame.
Dick's career as a producer and creator is remarkable. Perhaps no one has been more important in the worlds of sports and entertainment. He brought me in to host SNL and then saw something in me that I didn't see myself, when he brought me in as a cast member. I trusted him, and his confidence in me changed my life. -Billy Crystal Dick Ebersol was the first person to tell me to go into television (so blame him). The NBA wouldn't be where it is today if not for Dick. And that goes for the Olympics, the NFL, and pretty much every other corner of the sports world as well. Oh, and there's also a show called Saturday Night Live. This book tells the whole story, and if you're not riveted along the way, I don't know what to say to you. -Charles Barkley I don't even want to think about what my career would have been without Dick Ebersol. And I could name twenty other people who would say the same thing. An incredible executive. A tremendous leader. A Hall of Fame human being. -Cris Collinsworth
