- This is a riveting keynote by Iconic Sports Commentator Howard Cosell in June of 1990 at the Bobby Poe (Pop Radio) Convention outside Washington DC complete with Q&A. Introduction is by the legendary programmer of 77 WABC when it was #1 in the nation...Rick Sklar. Sadly within a short time after this video was made, BOTH gentlemen passed away. Apologies for the poor video quality.

My parents were divorced when I was two and a half; I had two step fatners who hated me. I got my values from Cosell. Thank you for sharing this. Thanks to youtube, my hero will never die.
In their defenses¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you were a shitty kid.
Cosell is absolutely brilliant. Sadly his beloved Emmy died just weeks later. Mister Ricky Sklar died in June 1992 just 24 months later at Roosevelt hospital due to hospital negligence and wrongful death. Ricky Sklar passed away too soon
Great to know that Howard spoke of disdain for 45!!!!!!
Howard was the greatest and was happy I lived in his time.
A Good man !
Excellent. Thanks for putting that up.
Hi Art, this is Holly Sklar, Rick's daughter. Thanks much for posting this! You can connect with me on linkedin or FB if of interest.
Rick Sklar and dick schaap were killed by hospital negligence. They died due to hospital negligence and poor training and lack of supervision by doctors. Awful stories and hopefully these hospitals paid for the families loss. It’s ironic that these two great men were killed by awful hospital administration staff
Your father died in the same hospital where John Lennon died. That hospital had to pay a fine for their negligence in killing your dad sadly because he wasn’t incubated properly. He died from a simple foot operation. What a tragedy. Cosell and Sklar were very close friends with John Lennon. Ricky Sklar died in that same hospital as John Winston Lennon just 12 years apart
Livia helmer accidentally killed Rick Sklar due to an incubation malfunction sadly during a routine foot operation as he wanted to run again What an awful story. They sent oxygen to his stomach and not his lungs. Howard cosell must have been outraged by the death of his good friend Ricky was only 63 year old and died due to negligence. Ricky died on the operating table
Rick Sklar told his son before surgery it was going to be a piece of cake. He died hours later. Dick schaap died in a similar negligence mishap at New York hospital. They were killed how awful. Howard cosell lost two close friends in 1992 and 2001. Outrage
(RIP) TO THE LATE HOWARD COSELL. YES, HE WAS CONTROVERSIAL & TO A DEGREE A POMPOUS ASS, BUT HE WAS A LOVABLE POMPOUS ASS. WE WILL NEVER SEE HIS LIKE AGAIN, HE NOW RESTS IN PEACE W/HIS DEAR WIFE EMMY. HE WAS VERY INSECURE ACTUALLY & DIDN'T TRAVEL W/OUT HIS LATE WIFE, SO HE GOT A LOT OF HIS STRENGTH FROM HIS WIFE. HE WILL MOST LIKELY BE REMEMBERED FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SPORTS ANNOUNCER WORLD & ESPECIALLY W/HIS COMICAL VERBAL ALTERCATIONS W/THE LATE LEGENDARY 3-TIME HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CHAMP MUHAMMED ALI, THEY HAD A LOVE HATE TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP THAT WAS LEGENDARY ON TV. AS I'VE SAID AGAIN, WE WILL NOT SEE HIS LIKE AGAIN.
While the great ones usually inspire many imitators. I know of no one like the great Howard Cosell, though.
a MNF broadcast with howard's cosell and stern would have been fun.
Cosell had an enormous ego, no doubt about that. But one can’t overstate his cultural relevance in the 1970s, and his very presence made an event bigger.
He could have called a game of checkers and it would have sounded like a Super Bowl.
Man could have been president
Cossells definitely a Murrow disciple.
Fifth of whiskey a day for cosell
This dude was a stew bum alcoholic
It was scotch. That was his drink of choice!
You couldn’t hold his slippers
