Looked it up, he won 29 Emmys. That's gotta be record.

I met Bob Costas sometime in the early 90's while a newspaper intern and he was in town for a speaking gig. He had some down time so we spent time chatting. I'm not a sports fan but watched his old show "Later with Bob Costas" and he made a few appearance on Letterman back the in the day. This line is a classic: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZ-rlMWiiaicn8Y.html -- I complimented him on his breadth of knowledge. You could tell he was well versed on a wide range of topics in his interviews. He deflected to say he had great producers. He was really cool and kind to young, green kid. Class act.

This podcast gets better and better! Kudos to Bill, his team and the guests

This was an hour and forty minutes. I was disappointed it didn’t go another hour and forty minutes. What an incredible rapport between the two. Bob Costa is my all time favorite sports announcer. And as they discussed about references to old things, I am more than old enough to catch each and every one of the references.

Thats crazy Bob looks basically like he did in 1982. Its actually quite nice seeing how many other things have completely changed since then. The guy is always on his game. An American Classic 🇺🇲

Tony Kubek, Curt Gowdy and Joe Garagiola--great team. Always love to listen to them announce baseball games.

This is a great discussion. Costas is the real deal and I like him even more now after watching this

What a great Time Warp this is. All of us that were huge Bob Costas "Later" people. Running-it-back. Decades later with Bill. Too good to be true, loving it. @ Entire campus's would stay up 'for the great guests et al on LATER. Bob = New-Hip-Kid-On-The-Block. "Kid Gunslinger with all of the Tools." (Also great to hear Jim Bouton mentioned, Jim having helped many like me. Climb the ladder. i.e. Jim read the first 50 or so pages of a proposed sports novel - really applauding the effort. Then sending more completed novel to Jim's managing editor at Doubleday (Jim Charlton). Jim Bouton so generous and kind - such a class gunslinger. In Jim's own right.

one of the best episodes ever , always loved listening to BOB

How I loved the 80's Mets...never loved baseball that much but they captivated me. I was sad Gooden and the rest used drugs and ruined what could have been a great career but they were great while it lasted. The excitement was unforgettable.

I have been saying for years that Dick Allen is a Hall of Famer and by definition he belongs in the Hall of Fame.

As a conservative, Bill and this show especially has become my favorite person to listen to. Why? Because Bill is SO authentic, and that's so rare these days. Great to see a different side of Bob as well. Give me more of this. Our country desperately needs this.

Costas is amazing. I listened to him as a kid in the 70s when he was on KMOX. He has remained loyal to St. Louis. His comments at Stan Musial's funeral were the perfect words for baseball's perfect knight. A great national career, no doubt. But his commitment to the city where he started, a river city in the Mid-West, reflects the essence of the man.

If it’s True that Discussion Is a Art-form, then you guys are Artists for sure. Great Stuff. Many Thanks!

Best one yet. I’m a huge Bob Costas fan and this podcast didn’t take a detour down any rabbit holes. The French connection was my first date movie, too.

So great. Love seeing a class guy like Bob Costas on CR,

This is a good opportunity not to drink alone. I am having a gin and tonic, on the rocks with a twist of lime, cheers!

No one does 'young man hair~old man face' as well as Bob C.👍

My family had The World Book encyclopedia too.. but from 1962 (which is a few years before I was born.) I enjoyed thumbing through it often, even before I could even read and possibly thought Kennedy was president into the 1970s lol.

It seems one out of every 2-3 guests are good. Bob Costas is a GREAT guest. One of the best baseball minds and one of the best conversationalists in media. What a pro.

Great episode. Bob Costas is a favourite of mine. I used to watch his Later show, those interviews were great. Cool to see you guys are buds.

Oooh yeeah , Club Random makes my Sundays 😎👑

The captions are legit on "Real Time"! So glad Bob gave props.

I'm not even a sports fan at all, but I can watch Costas talk about sports or ANYTHING. Big brain.

I’ve never heard Bob laugh before, 50 years he’s always seemed so serious. I loved this episode, Bob’s voice is so easy to listen to. As always Bill is amazing and continues his level of awesome memory and high intelligence. I’m going to watch this one more than once. A+

One of the best episodes yet

Great job Billy. You get awesome guests and provide a Good Platform. Mahalo 🤙

"Later with Bob Costas" was one of the best shows in the past 40 years. Such a brilliant, well researched, and genuinely wonderful person who thrived in the art of conversation. He's missed on the airwaves much and NBC owes him everything

First, thank you for having this show. Discourse between two people without judgement and hate. Rather, listening and respect. Thank you for this beacon of how we are all SUPPOSED to behave.

In the mid 1970's I lived across the street from Forest Park in STL and this other single guy my age, Bobby Costas from NY, moved in across the hall. He moved there to work for KMOX radio. He was my neighbor across the hall for 3 or 4 years and a seriously nice guy even when he was starting to get national attention. From what I've seen over the years since, he hasn't changed a bit. We used to get high together :)

Great episode.I was waiting for Costas to come back to his Cosell story.Cosell did alot of crazy things

The only thing wrong with Bill Maher's podcast, is that the episodes are not long enough.

I agree w/Maher. #1 Bob Gibson threw heat🔥 back in '68... A year that the Cardinals were successful in winning *another* National League Pennant, but that they also let Gibson down in the Series! The Cards were up 3 games to 1, & Bob Gibson beat Denny McLain, a pitcher who won 31 f@¢king games that year, & yet the Cardinals can't seal the deal in the Series?! The "cardiac Cards" I heard my father call 'em! Jack Buck was another great sports announcer, & so was his son!

Best Club guest since getting baked with Woody Harrelson! And I know why I relate so well to both of them. We're all NYC born and raised baby boomers, and I just think like them (even if I lack their gift of gab).

My two favorite memories of Later with Bob Costas: The week he spent with Mel Brooks, and the time Bill Murray came on and basically spent half the show talking about the then-new album Van Morrison made with the Chietains--Irish Heartbeat--and playing excerpts of it from his boombox.

Great conversation! Bob Costas is an American Treasure!

I love that Bill talked about Belzer being known for detective Munch more than his stand up. I grew up watching his stand up on HBO so when he got the part on law & order I found it strange why he would take on a serious role cuz I was used to seeing him do comedy.

@manofiske3318

He would have to have been insane not to have 'taken on' this gift of an easy, lucrative, gig handed him by Barry Levinson. It wasn't just another lame ''sitcom'' rather the 'serious role' offered the opportunity to be associated or attached to a relatively sophisticated , somewhat prestige status project without having to do much. Furthermore, the creators/producers were inclined, to a significant degree, to cater to his eccentricities and whims. All this and his credibility and/or standing in the world of comedy was less likely to be undermined or threatened had the endeavor not met with success.

What a great interview. The fact that at 71 Bob can pull so much data out of his brain that he's experienced/seen and then use in conversation is amazing. I say that as someone in their late 50's. Aside from some movie quotes, there is no way in hell I could do what he does in that manner. I have a pretty good memory, but man.. Side note and sort of related - when they were talking about people who seemingly are uninterested - if not outright hostile - about hearing something they don't know about rather than being INTERESTED in learning something new.. That is a thing, but not something new, necessarily. That's in a sense like music hipsters who can't bear the thought of someone knowing/liking what they like and flat out refusing to even entertain the idea of listening to something brought to their attention because they didn't hear it first.
