Dick Ebersol Biography

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.”

His 2022 book, "From Saturday Night to Sunday Night," is filled with entertaining and illuminating stories featuring such boldface names as Billy Crystal, Michael Jordan, Bill Clinton, Jay Leno, Peyton Manning, Michael Phelps and Larry David. (Ebersol even inspired the famous "Seinfeld" episode in which George Costanza pretends he didn’t quit his job.) More than that, the book offers an insightful history and analysis of TV’s evolution from broadcast to cable and beyond—a must read for casual binge-watchers and small-screen aficionados alike.

Ebersol 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.
